India got off to a shaky start but they came roaring back thanks to Suryakumar and Ishan Kishan. The pair put up 112 runs in just 60 balls for the third wicket. Kishan fell for 58 off 39 but Suryakumar has soldiered on since then. Tilak Varma fell after a quickfire 12 and now, Rinku Singh has got off to a flying start. It came down to India needing seven to win off the last over. It looked like India would do it easy when Rinku hit the first ball for four. The batters ran a leg-bye second ball but Axar Patel was then dismissed, which suddenly made the game a thriller. India ended up requiring one run to win off the last ball with Rinku on strike. He hit it for a six but Sean Abbott had overstepped and so, only the one run that came due to the no-ball was counted. Rinku finished off on 22 off 14. Suryakumar had earlier scored 80 off 42. India surpassed their own record for highest successful T20I run chase and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
