T20 World Cup: Team India beat Australia in second warm up match

Team India comfortably beat Australia by 8 wickets to win their second warm-up fixture before taking on Pakistan in the Super 12 stage. India dominated the proceedings with Ravichandran Ashwin doing the major damage picking up two wickets at the top leaving Australia at 11 for three. Aaron Finch, David Warner and Mitchell Marsh were dismissed cheaply. Steve Smith (57 off 48) and in-form Glenn Maxwell (37 off 28) did try to accelerate with a 61-run partnership. While Maxwell used his reverse sweep to good effect, Smith kept himself busy by rotating the strike. After Maxwell was dismissed by Rahul Chahar, Smith and Marcus Stoinis (41 not out off 25 balls) provided a much needed final flourish to the innings.

 Team India started the chase on a strong note with Rohit Sharma hitting a half-century. Rohit Sharma (60 retired off 41) along with opening partner K L Rahul (39 off 31) helping India chase down Australia score of 152 for five in 17.5 overs. Suryakumar Yadav (38 not out off 27) came at number three in Kohli's absence and got valuable time in the middle which should boost his confidence going ahead. Hardik Pandya (14 not out off 8) came at four to finish the game
