Shreyas Iyer's refined fifty combined well with fine death overs performance by inexperienced pace duo of Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar as India pipped Australia by six runs in a thrilling encounter to record a comprehensive 4-1 series win. Iyer's 53 off 37 balls was the force behind India's 160 for 8 on a tacky pitch at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Ben McDermott's bellicose half-century (54, 36b, 5x6) nearly trumped Iyer's effort, but the Aussies crumbled in the final lap to end up with 154 for eight. Needing only 10 off last over, Arshdeep held his nerve and gave away only three runs, repeatedly hitting the ideal block-hole length with consummate ease.
