 India 85-1 (20 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Boland, who just a single over in his first spell, comes back as he replaces Faulkner.

Dhawan is foxed by the slower bouncer from Boland as he is way too early into the pull and is beaten all ends up. He attempts another bouncer, this time quicker, but it is down the leg side and is called a wide.

The last ball is fuller but again down the leg side as Dhawan flicks it fine for a four.

The pitch is not as flat as the first two pitches as Wasim Akram reckons on commentary that a total of around 260 would be a good one on this track.

Smart move from Smith as he decides not to persist with Maxwell for too long, not allowing the two batsmen to get used to him. Three overs for 12 runs by Maxwell before he makes way for all-rounder Mitchell Marsh.

He makes a tidy start, giving away three runs, while Boland concedes five runs in the next as India reach 85 for one in 20 overs, scoring at just four runs per over.

Kohli is batting well on 36 from 42 balls, while Dhawan, who is on 38 from 67 balls, need to lift the tempo in the middle overs.
