Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav batted beautifully in India's chase of 187 in the third T20I against Australia in Hyderabad on Sunday. Even after the latter fell for a destructive 69, Kohli hit a pristine six off Pat Cummins and it looked like he and Hardik Pandya would take India home comfortably. However, Australia applied the pressure and the match went to the final over with India needing 11 off the last six balls. Kohli hit a six off the first delivery of the 20th over to take the pressure off but fell the very next delivery. Hardik, however, ensured India won the match with one ball to spare.

With police believed to be preparing to file an arrest warrant with Interpol, Lamichhane on Sunday issued a statement on social media reiterating that the claims against him were baseless.

Pakistan and England played out a thriller in the fourth T20I at the National Stadium in Karachi, and in the end, it was Babar Azam's side that prevailed by three runs to level the seven-match series 2-2. The match had many ebbs and flows, but it was Haris Rauf who turned the complexion of the game as he took two wickets in the penultimate over, including the key scalp of Liam Dawson. However, one of the biggest highlights of the match came in the 2nd over of England's chase as Usman Qadir pulled off a stunning catch to dismiss Alex Hales.
