India 84-2 (9 ovs); D/L Target: 174 in 17 ovs | Scorecard

The asking rate is over 11 as Dhawan continues his attacking approach. Behrendorff picks a full delivery off his pads over the fine leg fence for a six and then takes two runs off the next to race to his half-century from just 28 balls.

Dhawan in the mood as he hammers the fast bowler on the up through the gap in the covers for a four before he mistimes the slower ball, trying to force it through the off-side.

Dhawan then comes down the track and smashes the last ball straight down the ground for another four as 17 come from the over.

Meanwhile, India are gifted a no-ball as wicketkeeper Alex Carey breaks the stumps with his gloves while Rahul was hitting the ball. As per the rules, if the wicketkeeper illegally breaks the stumps with his gloves then it is ruled a no-ball.

But Rahul can't make most of the free hit delivery as he lofts it over the off-side for a couple.

Zampa then beats him with a flighted delivery which turns big as Carey comes up with a sharp stumping. The decision is referred to the TV umpire who rules it out, it is a very close call as India lose their second wicket.

Rahul walks back after scoring just 13 from 12 balls.

Good bowling from Zampa as he bowls two dot balls to new batsman Virat Kohli, who gets off the mark with a single.

Dhawan gets a thick outside edge off the last ball for two runs past short thirdman.

India need 90 runs from eight overs for victory.
