India 95-4 (20 ovs) vs Aus 313-5 | Scorecard

Australia building up the pressure with some tight overs. Lyon concedes just a single off the first four balls before Dhoni comes down and swings it on the leg side but only for one.

Spin from both ends as Adam Zampa comes in from the other end. He starts with a short ball down the leg side as Dhoni looks to pull it fine but can't beat the fielder inside the circle.

He then survives a leg before appeal as he comes down the track and tries to turn it on the leg side but is hit on the pads.

Zampa bowls a leg side wide before Kohli takes a single. The spinner drops short again and Dhoni again pulls it to deep midwicket only for one.

Kohli pulls the last ball in the gap through midwicket to get two runs off the final delivery.

In the next over, Lyon gets one to turn sharply but it slips down the leg side and is called a wide. Dhoni sweeps the next ball fine before Kohli clips the next through square leg for two runs followed by a single.

Dhoni then comes down the track and lofts Lyon over the midwicket fence for a six to send his home fans into a frenzy.

However, Zampa silences the entire stadium with the big wicket of Dhoni, who is bowled for 26. The veteran went for the big hit over the leg side, but got a thick inside edge which crashed into the leg stump.

Kedar Jadhav survives a huge shout for leg before wicket first ball as he comes forward to defend. He then rocks back and steers last ball past short thirdman for a four and then takes one.

Kohli pulls the last ball square on the leg side for a four to take his score to 43.

India are reeling on 95 for four in 20 overs, needing another 219 runs for victory in 30 overs at an asking rate of 7.3.
