India edged past Australia in a high-scoring last-ball thriller in the first T20 in Visakhapatnam. <\/span><\/p>\n

India lost three wickets in three balls in the last over when they needed only two runs to win.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rinku Singh smashed the last ball for six to seal victory in emphatic style, only for it to be called a no-ball, which was the winning run.<\/span><\/p>\n

The five-match T20 series has started just four days after the teams played in the 50-over World Cup final. <\/span><\/p>\n

Australia won the World Cup<\/span><\/a> by six wickets but here both teams were much changed, with Australia’s Josh Inglis and Steve Smith and India captain Suryakumar Yadav the only players involved from the final. <\/span><\/p>\n

And all three players made key contributions: wicketkeeper Inglis smashed 110 from 50 balls, including eight sixes and 11 fours to set up Australia’s imposing 208-3, while Smith made 52 from 41 balls at the top of the order.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suryakumar then struck 80 from 42 balls in a stand of 112 with Ishan Kishan, who made 58, as the pair led a recovery from 22-2. <\/span><\/p>\n

When Suryakumar was dismissed in the 18th over, India still required 15 runs from 14 balls before their final over stutter with just seven runs required. <\/span><\/p>\n

Axar Patel was caught and bowled by Sean Abbott for two, and Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh were run out attempting to get Rinku back on strike. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rinku was not in India’s World Cup squad but finished with 22 from 14 balls to steer India from chaos to victory, even if his last-ball six was ultimately irrelevant. <\/span><\/p>\n

Australia rested World Cup winners Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa and Travis Head for this game but they are part of the squad in India, while the rest of the one-day international squad including captain Pat Cummins have returned home. <\/span><\/p>\n

India, meanwhile, have rested most of their World Cup squad but batter Shreyas Iyer is expected to return for the final three matches. <\/span><\/p>\n

The series continues on Sunday, 26 November in Thiruvananthapuram. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
