Australia\u2019s World Cup hangover continued with a 44-run loss to India in their second Twenty20 match on Sunday (Monday morning AEDT) after a ragged bowling display allowed the home side to plunder a mammoth 4-235 at Thiruvananthapuram.<\/p>\n
Ruturaj Gaikwad (58), Yashasvi Jaiswal (53), Ishan Khan (52) and Rinku Singh (31no off nine balls) capitalised on the tourists\u2019 waywardness with the ball.<\/p>\n
In reply, Australia could only reach 9-191 at the end of their 20 overs.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s Rinku Singh hammered 31 of nine balls at the death.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>Getty Images<\/cite><\/p>\n India\u2019s total was their highest in T20s against Australia \u2013 surpassing their previous best of 8-209 set three days ago at Visakhapatnam \u2013 and easily the best score at Greenfield International Stadium.<\/p>\n Australia bowled poorly in the powerplay before regularly losing control as the dew set in early, dishing up 12 wides and a no-ball via a chest-high full-toss from Glenn Maxwell.<\/p>\n Nathan Ellis (3-45) picked up three of the four wickets but was expensive in doing so, Sean Abbott\u2019s three overs were dispatched for 56 and Australia\u2019s three spinners were ineffective.<\/p>\n Jaiswal was the early aggressor, dominating India\u2019s 1-77 powerplay, which was their best in T20s against Australia.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Australia\u2019s Marcus Stoinis fell for 45 of 25 balls.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>AP<\/cite><\/p>\n The 21-year-old opener welcomed Abbott to the bowling crease by going 4-4-4-6-6 to bring up his half-century inside the fourth over.<\/p>\n After Jaiswal miscued Ellis to Adam Zampa, Ishan Kishan took over and targeted Australia\u2019s spinners.<\/p>\n He raised his 50 by walloping Tanveer Sangha for back-to-back sixes before slicing a wide, off-balance, one-handed shot to Ellis in the deep.<\/p>\n Gaikwad was the anchor of the innings, becoming the third Indian batter to move past 50.<\/p>\n Acting captain Suryakumar Yadav, game one hero Rinku and Tilak Varma all teed off at the death, Australia\u2019s last two overs thumped for 45.<\/p>\n AAP<\/strong><\/p>\n News, results and expert analysis from the weekend of sport sent every Monday. <\/i><\/b>Sign up for our Sport newsletter<\/i><\/b>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\nMost Viewed in Sport<\/h2>\n
