India vs Australia: Top 4 T20Is

#2 India vs Australia, Mohali (2016)

ICC World Twenty20 India 2016: India v Australia

This one was one of the best matches played in the 2016 T20I World Cup in India. It was a must-win game for both the teams as the winner was set to meet Windies in the semi-final. It also happened out to be the last international for Shane Watson, thanks to an ever so hungry Virat Kohli who dished out a special and added yet another feather to his already rich cap.

Australia, batting first, put on 160 and with the way the wicket was behaving, it was believed to be par. India were all in all sorts of troubles with them needing 39 off the last 3 to book a place into the semi-finals. Virat Kohli showed his temperament once again, scored 19 each off James Faulkner and Nathan Coulter-Nile to send India into the semi-finals.

The hopes of an entire nation rested on his shoulders. As soon as MS Dhoni joined him, he ensured that the Indian innings finally took off and reached the destination in style.

India 161/4 (Kohli 82*(51), Yuvraj 21(18), Dhoni 18*(10), Watson 2-23, Coulter-Nile 1-33) beat Australia 160/6 (Finch 43(34), Khawaja 26(16), Maxwell 31(28), Hardik Pandya 2-36, Yuvraj 1-19) by six wickets
