ICC World T20 2016: Looking back at the 5 most exciting matches

India vs Australia at IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali (Super 10 Group 2)

Kohli remained unbeaten on a match-winning 82 off 51 balls

With both teams locked on 4 points coming into their last match of the group stage, India and Australia faced off in a much anticipated clash with both teams needing a win to advance into the semi-final. The match thus became a do or die battle for both the teams adding to the intensity of the battle.

The match really lived up to the anticipation and will be remembered by everyone as an epic battle. The Australian openers got off to a flier as they raced to 50 off just four overs. Bumrah and Ashwin, India's two best bowlers in the tournament, were taken for plenty.

But after Khawaja was dismissed by Nehra, the Indian spinners pulled it back eventually as no other Australian batsman managed to make any meaningful contribution. The Aussies still managed to put up a total of 160 on the board.

India lost their openers early and when Raina departed the match seemed to have swung considerably in the favour of the Aussies. Shane Watson was bowling one of the best spells and trying to ensure that it would not be the last match of his career. Yuvraj Singh injured himself and kept refusing the extra runs.

Kohli was at the other end soaking in the pressure and finding the gaps at regular intervals. Yuvraj gave him good company for some time, even dispatching a couple of deliveries to the boundary. The match turned when MS Dhoni came in at the fall of Yuvraj's wicket.

Kohli and Dhoni strung together a memorable partnership and ran at a lightning speed between the stumps. With 39 required off 3 overs, Kohli launched a rare onslaught on Faulkner dispatching his first three deliveries to the boundary including a memorable lofted drive for six.

That over yielded 19 runs and in the next over, Kohli hit four more boundaries to bring the equation down to just 4 runs needed off the last over. He remained unbeaten on a match-winning 82 off 51 balls. Dhoni finished it off in his trademark fashion as the whole of India erupted in celebration.
