In the Twenty20 format, batsmen aim to be out in the middle for a good time rather than a long time. In the second game of the five-match series against Australia, the Indians succeeded in doing just, winning by 44 runs to take a 2-0 lead.
Ruturaj Gaikwad (58 off 43), Ishan Kishan (52 off 32), and Yashasvi Jaiswal (53 off 25 balls) opened the innings before Rinku Singh (31 not out off 9) and Suryakumar Yadav (19 off 10) added the final touches to a massive 235/4 score.
In the pursuit, the Indian bowlers were spared from having to other than aiming for the stumps and preventing the batsmen from having any space to extend their arms. Tim David (37 off 22 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (45 off 25 balls) formed a dangerous partnership for the visitors after they got off to a bright start, but the target always looked a bit out of reach. After the Australians broke that stand (81 off 37 balls), the challenge came to an abrupt end as they finished with 191/9.
