Another impressive show by the bowling unit helped India to a nine-wicket win over Australia in the rain-curtailed opening T20I. It was the seventh consecutive win for India in the shortest format.
After restricting Australia to 118/8 in 18.4 overs, India easily chased down the revised target of 48 from 6 overs.
Brief scores: Australia: 118/8 in 18.4 overs (Kuldeep 2/16, Bumrah 2/17); India: 49/1 (Kohli 22*).
