8.33pm India end on 160 for 8 on what has been an indifferent Bengaluru surface. It was tacky, slow and had some assistance for the spinners. Australia won the toss again and elected to bowl, and got among the wickets right away taking out the openers. Shreyas Iyer scored a good hand, wit ha 37-ball 53 and was assisted well by Axar Patel (31 off 21). Jitesh Sharma also played a good role. But the Australia bowlers were great overall, especially Sangha who went for 26 off his four overs and took out Rinku Singh. Aaron Hardie was also effective. can Australia chase this down and end the series on a high? Join Deiva in a bit to find out.
Tanveer Sangha: It's had a bit of tackiness in it and if you hit your lengths, it's tough to get it off the square. Good pitch for spinners. The main thing for any wrist spinner is consistency. Every spinner if he can control his length can be very successful in India. [Drift] That's massive, especially to left-handers. The more I can get outside the hitting line, it's harder for them, especially on such pitches. There is more risk for them. Bringing out their hitting lines was one of the talking points. Was trying to hit the stumps to the righties.
Bala: "In the 7 completed T20I on this ground, only once the batting first team have won, India against Bangladesh after scoring 146 won by 1 run. "

Prashant : "This doesn't look like a typical Banglore wicket so what's the par score here?" With the drizzle coming down, I'd say they need 160 here
