IND vs AUS 2nd T20I Highlights: Maxwell's 3rd T20I Hundred gives Oz 2-0 series win

(winning captain): Anytime that you can win any kind of series against India in India is truly special. Glenn Maxwell was truly sensational tonight but I thought Adam Zampa was the difference between the two sides. To go for just 23 runs on that kind of a wicket was really remarkable. We've been on a journey for the last 10-11 months building upto the World Cup and there has been some pain during the journey. We've done well to take the blows but also have made some progress, hoping to peak at the right time for the World Cup.

(Player of the Match and the Series): We were just talking about how we haven't had a lot of success here. To come and perform as well as we have in these two T20s, it's a great start to this tour. I think it helps playing a big bulk of T20 in the domestic tournament back home and come here. It was a pretty good wicket, so we were able to wait for anything slightly off line or length. We just needed to get it to about 11 or 12 an over for the last four overs, and back ourselves from there. After D'Arcy's dismissal it was up to me to sit around and drive the innings forward. Pete Handscomb did a great job of getting off strike and being busy. We were able to keep consistently having good overs, and keep the run rate in check.

(Losing captain):Pretty short series to summarize the performances. Australia outplayed us in all departments and deserved to win. 190 is a good total on most grounds but if there is so much dew as there was tonight and when you have an innings like what Glenn Maxwell played, nothing much you can do. Every team is looking to take each game like that but it's also important to win matches. We would have liked to get across the line in at least this game but I can't be too hard on the bowlers due to the amount of dew. We wanted to give everyone some game time, we've seen how they react under pressure, there is a series coming up and we'll try more things. It's upto them to deliver the goods. The good thing was that the Bangalore wicket was back to normal and you could trust the lengths. I enjoyed myself but it didn't really matter as we lost the game.

Kaul starts with a wide full toss which Maxwell drives hard towards extra cover for a single. The 2^nd ball is another yorker outside off which Handscomb guides to backward point for a run. Maxwell walks down the pitch and takes the 3^rd ball on the full lifting it straight down the ground for a SIX. That was brilliantly timed by the Aussie. The 4^th ball is short and Maxwell backs away to launch it through extra-cover for a FOUR. That seals the win for the Australian’s. They wrap up the series 2-0.

Bumrah to bowl the penultimate over. Maxwell edges the 1^st ball past the keeper and they pick up a single. That brings up the HUNDRED for the Aussie.

Can Kaul pull off something spectacular?

Kaul sends down another full toss which Maxwell hits straight down the throat of Shankar at long-on but it won’t count as they pick up a single. 18 runs off that over. Australia need just 14 runs off 12 balls to win.

Chahal to bowl out. Maxwell plays the 1^st ball with soft hands to the leg-side and they come back for the second.

Maxwell clips the 4^th ball to deep midwicket for a single. Handscomb rotates strike with a single to deep cover. Maxwell looks to chop the last ball but misses. 16 runs off the over.

Handscomb lifts the 3^rd ball over backwards square leg for a run. Maxwell goes for the reverse sweep but misses as Krunal appeals for LBW. The umpire isn’t interested though. Maxwell then takes a step forward and launches the 5^th ball straight down the ground for a SIX. He swings hard at the last ball but doesn’t connect as they get a single at fine leg. 10 off the over.
