Hobart ODI: India beat Australia, level series 1-1

India have levelled the Twenty20 series against Australia, sharing the blows with the bat for a five-wicket win with nine balls to spare in Hobart. The hosts posted 186-6 on Sunday night on the back of an explosive 74 from 38 balls from Tim David batting at No 4 and a Marcus Stoinis half-century. Australia kept themselves in the hunt with regular wickets in India’s chase, before Washington Sundar’s unbeaten 49 from 23 got India home. After a washout in the series opener in Canberra, India’s win puts the five-game series at 1-1 with two fixtures remaining.
