After losing an early wicket, Virat Kohli will be hoping to anchor India's chase in their ongoing third T20I against Australia, at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Australia set a 187-run target for India. Initially, Kohli won the toss and elected to field. Opener Matthew Wade scored 80 runs from 53 balls to grab his third T20I half-century. Meanwhile, Maxwell smashed 54 from 36 deliveries. The hosts finished at 186 for five after 20 overs. Washington Sundar was the top bowler for India, grabbing two wickets. Meanwhile, T Natarajan and Shardul Thakur notched a dismissal each. Australia made a change to their playing XI from the second T20I. Captain Aaron Finch returned to the roster, and Marcus Stoinis was excluded. India currently lead the three-match series, 2-0. The visitors will be aiming for a second series sweep in the shortest format of the game over the past four years. India had last swept Australia 3-0 back in 2016 in a T20I series Down Under played only less than two months ahead of the T20 World Cup that year. (LIVE SCORECARD)
