After the Australian openers were sent back to the pavilion within five overs of the chase, it seemed like India had one foot in the door. A couple more wickets could've set the tone for the hosts to snatch an unlikely victory.

However, Travis Head and Moises Henriques ensured that there were no more surprises in store throughout the innings. They batted with skill and confidence to ease Australia to victory in just 15.3 overs.

Head has featured in the "misses" category of this series consistently through the tour, but made a stomping switch to the "hits" category after this game. He looked extremely self-assured through the innings and partnered beautifully with Henriques to stitch a 119-run stand.

Henriques was promoted to Number 3 by Warner and the Sunrisers Hyderabad cricketer did not disappoint his skipper. He took the attack to the opposition, ripped through their spin-bowling attack and scored 62 runs in just 46 deliveries.
