Commentary

India have sealed the series in Raipur. We will now move to Bangalore for the final match of the series. Not much at stake but it's always pride at stake when you are playing for your country. Not sure if the series win will give some sort of relief to the Indian fans but the series win will certainly benefit the young Indian players. The Aussies also played a new look side with so many youngsters. They have a chance to test them out again in Bangalore. That have also brought us to the end of our coverage for this contest. Till the next time, this is me (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator Shashwat Kumar.

Axar Patel (Player of the Match): I was trying for my variations as I was sitting at home for a while. Actually after the first match, I knew that the ball is coming out of my hand nicely. I was not taking too much stress, I am giving 100 percent and somebody is hitting you, you can't help. You have to bowl stump to stump in these conditions. Actually, I tried to be attacking. You have to be mentally strong. If I execute my plans and they hit you, that's part and parcel of the game. If you are mentally strong, then you get the results as well. Yes I am trying to use my pace a bit. People study a lot these days. I was in a break so I was thinking what new I can bring to my game and add these small things. If I use it the match, then only you can understand how the ball is coming out and how the batters are reacting.

Suryakumar Yadav (India captain): Other than toss, everything went our way. Winning in the end was a big boost. The way the boys showed character was quite heartening to see. We spoke in the meeting today that we have to go out and express yourself. I told them to be fealess irrespective of the situation. I always love bowling Axar in the end but they bowled brilliantly. The plan was very clear today. We wanted to stick to the yorker plan and if that didn't work, we would have worked out something. We will enjoy the moment for us, let us see what happens in Banglaore.

Matthew Wade (Australia captain): We didn't play spin very well. They got hold of us in the middle overs. Some areas to tidy up, especially against spin. Yeah, we were terrific with the ball. Unfortunately we couldn't bat the way we would have like. Dwarshuis bowled brilliantly, Green bowled well and overall it was a great effort. Continue to learn from the guys, seeing the guys getting another chance. Want to test these guys out with the World Cup coming up shortly.

Its time for the post-match presentation ceremony with Murali Kartik.

It was another dominating show from Rinku Singh. He came out at a difficult phase of the game and smacked the Australian bowlers en route to his knock of 46 off 29 deliveries. Fans went berserk at his exceptional consistency. Switch 👇 for some of the reactions.

Ravi Bishnoi: (On his powerplay role) No real plan beforehand, whenever the team needed, my captain asked me to bowl. He (Suryakumar) felt I should be bowling in that phase and I bowled. I am happy the way I have bowled. The ball is coming out beautifully and hopefully I can be there whenever the team needs me. (On the dressing room atmosphere) We are all of a similar age group, the atmosphere is really nice and we are doing really well as a team. (On inputs gained from Sairaj Bahatule) I have worked with him before and he keeps telling me to stick to my strengths, and give my 100%.

India won by 20 runs

It wasn't a massive score to chase for Australia and with Travis Head opening the batting, it was always going to be one way traffic if Head got into the act. He did for one more time as he continued to be a big headache for India. He smoked Deepak Chahar for 22 runs in the 3rd over as Australia raced off to 40/0 in just 3 overs.

Josh Philippe who was given the opportunity to open the innings but he played a poor shot which brought about his downfall. Head was going in his merry way when Axar Patel got the massive wicket as he enticed him into a big shot. Ben McDermott got an opportunity in the middle order and tried to resurrect the innings with Aaron Hardie.

The duo struggled against spin and it was Hardie who lost his composure and ended up getting castled to a slowish arm ball from Axar. McDermott fought hard for his 19 ball 22 before Axar got his number as well. He kept bowling stump to stump and wickets kept coming his way. His three wicket spell was crucial in India stemming the run flow in the middle overs.

Matthew Short struck some good shots but couldn't quite keep up with the required rate. Deepak Chahar came back strongly after getting some stick early on with the wickets of Tim David and Matthew Short. The equation kept getting tougher and in the end, it was India who win by 20 runs and winning the series in the process as well.

It turned out to be an inspiring performance from the young Indian bowlers as they win the 4th T20I by runs to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five match series. Travis Head launched himself into action yet again by smoking Deepak Chahar to different corners of the ground in the powerplay. It was the introduction of Ravi Bishnoi and Axar Patel which turned the game totally in India's favor. They took 4 wickets and gave away just 33 runs in their 8 overs. Matthew Wade tried hard towards the end but it was just a bit too much as India registered a 20 run win.

19.6 Avesh Khan to Matthew Wade, INDIA WIN BY 20 RUNS! Low full toss on middle and leg. Wade clears his front leg and heaves it towards deep mid wicket. A single to end the game, and India have won this game and the series!

19.5 Avesh Khan to Matthew Wade, into the blockhole on leg stump. Wade clears his front leg and hoicks it off the toe-end towards deep mid wicket

The outrageous shot from Wade has come out but it has come way too late as far as Australia's liking.

19.4 Avesh Khan to Matthew Wade, SIX! Half-volley outside leg and that ought to travel. Wade gets down early and then sweeps it high and long over fine leg!

19.4 Avesh Khan to Matthew Wade, full and down the leg side, and that is the last ball Avesh should be bowling. Some exercise for the umpire

19.3 Avesh Khan to Matthew Wade, very full on middle and off. Wade stays leg side of the ball and powers it down the ground to long off for a brace

That should be the game for India.

19.2 Avesh Khan to Matthew Wade, another slot ball on middle and off. Wade picks it up a little late, though, and clinks it off the toe-end towards long off

19.1 Avesh Khan to Matthew Wade, full toss on the pads. Wade tries to hit it too hard and miscues it towards deep mid wicket. He will feel he missed out there...
