In a stunning performance, Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood clinically tore through India's top-order, setting the stage for a comfortable four-wicket victory in the second T20 International. Hazlewood's probing spell saw him claim crucial wickets, leaving the Indian batting lineup reeling.

Amidst a sizable crowd of 82,438, India suffered a humbling defeat as nine batters failed to reach double digits, amassing a mere 125 runs. Abhishek Sharma emerged as the lone warrior, scoring an impressive 68 off 37 balls, even as Hazlewood's relentless bowling wreaked havoc.

Australia, led by captain Mitchell Marsh's quickfire 46, chased down the target in just 13.2 overs. While India's batting was exposed, the team remains optimistic about the upcoming matches, hopeful that Indian conditions will favor their spinning prowess in the T20 World Cup.
