India have levelled the Twenty20 series against Australia, sharing the blows with the bat for a five-wicket win with nine balls to spare in Hobart. The hosts posted 186-6 on Sunday night on the back of an explosive 74 from 38 balls from Tim David batting at No 4 and a Marcus Stoinis half-century. Australia kept themselves in the hunt with regular wickets in India's chase, before Washington Sundar's unbeaten 49 from 23 got India home.
But there was just enough time for a 24-ball cameo from Suryakumar Yadav that suggested the India captain is ready to rediscover his best form on an international stage. Mitch Marsh won the toss and elected to field before the tourists set out to make a fast start with India opener Abhishek Sharma (19 off 14) taking the attack to the Australia bowlers from the first ball.
