India vs Australia, 5th T20: Team India pacer Arshdeep Singh bowled a thrilling final over and defended 9 runs as India snatched a certain win from Australia by 6 runs. With the win in the 5th T20, India displayed dominance as they won the series comprehensively 4-1. Australian skipper Matthew Wade was not happy with the results and said it was hard for him to wrap his head around the defeat.

Some questions are also raised on the umpiring decision in India vs Australia 5th match especially during Arshdeep Singh's final over. "It's hard to wrap my head around at the moment after not being able to get us home," Wade said of the loss. “I thought we bowled relatively well.

We kept them to a total that probably should have been chased at this ground. It’s pretty disappointing. It would have been nice to get the result tonight.

I think 3-2 would have been a reflection of where the series was at." Australian skipper is right when he says that his team bowled well. Team India's batting order collapsed against the fiery pace of Australia. The light rains changed the pitch conditions and the ball was not coming properly on the bat.

Apart from Shreyas Iyer (53) and Axar Patel (31), no batter could do much significant on the pitch of Bengaluru. Team India did well in the bowling with spinner Ravi Bishnoi 2/29 and pacer Mukesh Kumar 3/32 displaying their magic against the deep Australian batting lineup. It eventually came down to the last over when 10 runs were required and Matthew Wade was on strike.
