Aus 159-3 (17 ovs) vs India 190-4 | Scorecard

Maxwell clips Chahal to midwicket and comes back for the second. The next delivery is flighted on the pads as Maxwell sweeps it high over the square leg fence for a six.

Maxwell then brings out the switch hit as he smacks Chahal for another big six over the point fence as it clears the boundary easily to bring up the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket from just 26 balls.

Maxwell flicks the next ball to midwicket and Handscomb can only drive a full toss to sweeper cover for one.

Maxwell is beaten last ball but Australia have got 16 from the over to stay in the hunt, with 44 needed from four overs for victory.

Not a good day with the ball for Chahal as he gives away 47 from his four overs.

Maxwell has single-handedly kept Australia alive, smashing 75 from just 40 balls.

Bumrah, who has two overs in hand, comes back. Handscomb hits the first ball square as Krunal at point puts in the dive to stop the boundary but attempts a run out to give away an overthrow.

No stopping Maxwell as he slams an overpitched delivery over the covers for a boundary before he digs out a yorker for one to take his score to 80.

A single to Handscomb as he brings Maxwell back on strike, who swings the next ball powerfully past square leg for a four.

The last ball is drilled to deep point for one as Bumrah goes for 12 in his third over, leaving Australia to get 32 from three overs for victory.
