adminADELAIDE. — India took an unbeatable 2-0 lead over Australia in their three-match Twenty20 cricket series with a 27-run win in the second match at the MCG yesterday.
The tourists won the first match in Adelaide by 37 runs and the second encounter followed a remarkably similar script. After India made 184 for three, Australia looked in a strong position in the chase as they approached 100 with openers Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh still at the crease. But the home side faltered, with their middle order unable to continue the good work of the openers. Australia were cruising at 94-0 in the 10th over, but the dismissal of Marsh for 23, caught off the bowling of Ravi Ashwin, turned the tide. — AFP.
