Swepson, Wade deny India: 3rd T20 (SCG)

Stand-in skipper Matt Wade’s career-best 80 from 53 balls and three wickets for Mitchell Swepson helped fire Australia to a 12-run victory to close the series 1-2 in India’s favour.

Wade and Glenn Maxwell (54 from 36) combined to ensure Australia posted 186-5.

A magnificent 61-ball 85 from Virat Kohli was in vain as the spell from Swepson saw him take the big wickets of Shikhar Dhawan, Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer to help Australia finish on a winning note.

Australia 186 for 5 (Wade 80, Maxwell 54, Sundar 2-34, Natarajan 1-33) beat India 174 for 7 (Kohli 85, Swepson 3-23, Zampa 1-21) by 12 runs.
