India vs Australia, 2nd T20I: Hardik Pandya's late heroics guide India to 6-wicket win.

A blistering knock of 42 off just 22 balls by middle-order batsman Handya Pandya guided India to a six-wicket win over Australia in the second T20 International at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday. The visitors have clinched the 3-match series 2-0 and will be eying a whitewash.

 
Chasing a total of 195, India got off a solid start, with openers KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan bringing up 50-run stand inside the powerplay. The team, however, briefly lost its way in the middle overs, with the dismissals of openers and Sanju Samson. Virat Kohli took charge took the team close to the total, before being dismissed by Daniel Sams in the 17th over of the match. With 14 runs needed off the final over, Pandya stole a double on the first delivery, sent the second flying for a six, missed out on third and smashed fourth for another six to take the team through.
