Series Victory and Home Dominance

With this victory, India defeated Australia to win the series and take a commanding 3-1 lead over the five-match series. The victory highlighted India's strength in Twenty20 cricket and extended their incredible record of winning 14 straight series in Twenty20 internationals at home.

After winning the toss, Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew Wade decided to bowl first in an attempt to take advantage of the predicted dew factor later in the game. But India's batting team, which included the hardy Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, set a challenging goal of 175 runs, demonstrating both firepower and tenacity. Even though there was a momentary collapse in the middle order, Rinku Singh's quick 46 off 29 balls added significant runs to the scoreboard.

Axar Patel led India's bowling attack, which was crucial in preventing the target from being reached. Patel put Australia on the back foot by taking three vital wickets. The Indian bowlers applied constant pressure throughout the innings, preventing the Australian hitters from forming the kind of partnerships that would have been required to chase down the formidable score. Australia ultimately lost by 20 runs, which ensured India's triumph.
