Some respite for Team India. Aussie skipper Mitchell Marsh is finally gone. What a stormy knock by Marsh. Smacks 46 off just 26 balls as Kuldeep Yadav gets him out, with Abhishek Sharma grabbing his catch. Mitchell Marsh c Abhishek Sharma b Kuldeep Yadav 46(26)

Australia need 70 runs off the next b84 balls. The hosts look to hold the baton, with nine wickets in hand.

With openers Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head at crease, Australia reach 50-run mark in no time.

Australia national cricket team captain Mitchell Marsh starts the chase of a mere target of 126 with opener Travis Head. It's four runs for no loss after the first over.

OUT! The final wicket summary shows India's batting this evening. Varun Chakaravarthy failed to respond to a call from Jasprit Bumrah as the star pacer found himself lost in the middle. India have been bundled out for 125 as Abhishek Sharma managed to keep the innings afloat, scoring a memorable 68 off 37. Harshit Rana contributed with 35 off 33, while others contributed just 22. 

OUT! Abhishek Sharma's defiance comes to an end. The Indian opener played 37 balls for his 68, which was laced with eight fours and two sixes. Nathan Ellis gets his second wicket of the match, as the ball traps Sharma leg-before, who failed to judge a yorker. Abhishek Sharma lbw b Nathan Ellis 68(37)

OUT! Kuldeep Yadav falls for zero. The last few overs have showcased India producing mindless cricket, with the well-set batter Abhishek Sharma not getting the strike. Marcus Stionis removes Yadav, who wanted to pull but perishes. Kuldeep Yadav c (sub)Abbott b Stoinis 0(6)

OUT! Two-in-two for Xavier Bartlett. Shivam Dube nicks the ball and hands a simple catch to wicketkeeper Josh Inglis. Dube managed a lucky boundary on the first ball. Abhishek Sharma is still at the other end on 52. Shivam Dube c Josh Inglis b Bartlett 4(2) 

OUT! Just as Harshit Rana looked to score big runs, Xavier Bartlett has managed to remove the bowler. Rana managed to score 35 off 33 balls, which is more than Abhishek Sharma, who is batting on 52 off 27. Rana wanted to clear the short boundary but handed a catch to Tim David. Harshit Rana c Tim David b Bartlett 35(33) 

India have managed to cross the 100-run mark, thanks to a crucial stand between Abhishek Sharma and Harshit Rana. The duo have added 56 runs in merely 45 balls, with Rana contributing with 35 off 31. India needs to reach a par total near 150-160. 

FIFTY! Abhishek Sharma achieves a personal milestone as the India opener reaches his sixth T20I half-century, which is also the batter's first in Australia. Sharma's fifty has come in 23 balls, laced with seven fours and one six. 

Abhishek Sharma is two runs away from his sixth T20I half-century, which will be the Indian batter's first in Australia. Sharma, along with Harshit Rana, has added 34 runs off 27 balls. It will be important that Sharma stays till the very end. 

Harshit Rana has been promoted ahead of Shivam Dube, which remains a baffling decision from the outside. Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma is holding one end and is nearing his sixth T20I half-century, while India's total has crossed the 50-run mark. 

OUT! This has been a disastrous start for India, who have lost their five wickets for merely 49 runs, with Axar Patel getting run out for a 12-ball seven. India's batting order has been baffling this evening, which has contributed to the downfall thus far.
