India produced a commanding performance in the 10-over clash against Australia, posting 143 for 3 before restricting their opponents to 117 for 5. The 26-run margin reflected India’s control across both innings in an entertaining, high-scoring contest.

Rohit Sharma added a valuable 35 from 16 balls, including five fours and a six, to keep the scoring rate high.
Australia responded with intent through T Head, who led their chase with an impressive 58 from 28 deliveries. He matched Taran’s boundary count with five fours and five sixes, but Australia could not sustain the required pace over the full 10 overs.
