Batting first, Australia scored 152 runs, and India chased down the target with 13 balls to spare after blistering knocks from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav.

Australia elected to bat first after winning the toss, but they lost three wickets in quick succession. Ravichandran Ashiwn scalped the wickets of David Warner (1) and Mitchell Marsh (0) on successive deliveries, and later in the fourth over, Aaron Finch (8) fell to Ravindra Jadeja. 

Steven Smith (57), who walked out to bat after the dismissal of Marsh, partnered for a 61 runs with Glenn Maxwell (37) before the latter departed in the 12th over. Smith also stitched up a 76-run stand with Marcus Stoinis (41*) before the former fell to Bhuvaneshwar Kumar in the last over.

In pursuit of 153 runs, KL Rahul (39) and Rohit Sharma (60) started off well, accumulating 68 runs in the opening stand. Suryakumar Yadav (38*) and Hardik Pandya (14*) finished off the innings in stye to claim a eight-wicket victory over Australia in the warm-up match.

India, who won their first warm-up match against England by 7 wickets on Monday, next face Pakistan in their T20 World Cup 2021 opener on October 24.
