In a nail-biting encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, India emerged victorious against Australia by just 5 runs in the opening match of the T20 series. Chasing a challenging total of 180, the Australian innings looked strong early on with David Warner scoring a quick 55. However, India’s bowling attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal, managed to apply pressure in the death overs, ultimately restricting Australia to 175/6.

For India, captain Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant 78 off 52 balls, anchoring the innings after early wickets. The match saw multiple twists, including a stunning run-out by Rishabh Pant and a last-over thriller where India defended 12 runs in the final over.

Fans hailed the performance as a statement win for India ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup. The second match of the series is scheduled in Delhi on October 15, promising another exciting showdown.
