Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>India won the third and deciding Twenty20 against Australia in the last over after punchy fifties by Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav in Hyderabad on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The hosts won by six wickets with one ball remaining after Hardik Pandya, unbeaten on 25, hit the winning boundary.<\/p>\n

Kohli and Yadav stabilised the innings after India lost both openers — Rohit Sharma (17) and KL Rahul (1) — early in their chase after Australia scored 186-7.<\/p>\n

Kohli fell in the last over after a 48-ball 63 with India still five short of victory.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Yadav blasted 50 in 29 balls before he fell to Josh Hazlewood for a 36-ball 69.<\/p>\n

Yadav hit five sixes and five fours in his match-defining innings.<\/p>\n

India’s Rohit Sharma won the toss on Sunday and asked the visitors to bat first. Impressive fifties by Tim David and Cameron Green took Australia to a formidable score.<\/p>\n

Rookie opener Green hit a 21-ball 52, with seven fours and three sixes, to put the hosts on the defensive.<\/p>\n

But Green received little support from other top-order batters as left-arm spinner Axar Patel, who has been India’s best bowler in the three-match series, chipped away at the other end.<\/p>\n

Patel finished with 3-33 and took the key wickets of skipper Aaron Finch (7), Josh Inglis (24) and in-form Matthew Wade (1).<\/p>\n

The hosts looked set to restrict Australia to a below-par score before the newest T20 sensation Tim David dismantled the Indian pacers in an impressive display of power hitting.<\/p>\n

David hit a 27-ball 54 with four sixes and two boundaries before he was dismissed by Harshal Patel, who finished with 1-18 after two overs.<\/p>\n

Green was also Australia’s most impressive bowler with three wicketless overs for only 14 runs.<\/p>\n

Leg-spinner Adam Zampa, who impressed with his leg-spin in the last match, leaked 44 runs in his four wicketless overs.<\/p>\n

Daniel Sams took two wickets for 33 runs while seniors Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood took one wicket each and gave away 80 runs in their eight overs.<\/p>\n

The series comes ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia next month.<\/p>\n
