India vs Australia 4th T20 Highlights
Washington Sundar bowled only eight deliveries but took three wickets while conceding just three runs, helping India secure the series lead. With this victory, India leads the series 2-1, making it impossible for Australia to win overall. The best Australia can now do is draw the series by winning the last match at The Gabba.
The climax had a humorous moment when Sundar returned to bowl the 19th over. Ellis attempted a big hit off the first ball, sending the ball high into the night sky. Gill ran in from long on but spilled the catch, only to quickly recover and hold the next catch off Zampa's shot. Gill laughed at his own slip before settling back into position.
Jasprit Bumrah took the 99th wicket of his T20I career on the last ball of the match. He bowled a missed yorker to Ben Dwarshuis, who played a heavy bottom edge that hit his own stumps.
- Australia needed 52 runs from 18 balls at one point.
- Ben Dwarshuis was on strike against Bumrah's final over.
- Nathan Ellis was batting at the other end.
