You expect T20Is to be big-scoring affairs and last night's game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium was one such. But you also expect them to be thrillers, which in reality it wasn't, even if it again went down to the final over off which nine runs were required. But with marauder Glenn Maxwell still around to finish what he started, unlike in Vizag, the Australians won with two balls to spare.

The seven-wicket win in the second and final T20I here at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium also helped inflict a rare series defeat at home on the hosts. Needing to score at 9.5 runs an over after KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni had all combined to power India to an imposing 190-4, Australian opener D'Arcy Short and Maxwell blazed away to set their side well on the way to a famous win. Short fell for 40 a little after he was let off by Rishab Pant. But a cool and calm Peter Handscomb joined the rampaging Maxwell (113 not out), who by now was even switch-hitting for six, to ensure there would be no last-over excitement this time around. The 100, his
third in T20Is, was as entertaining for its high quality shots as it was for his many audacious hits.
