India vs Australia 1st T20 Highlights: Wade, Green help Australia beat India by 4 wickets

Australia produced a fine batting show to beat hosts India by four wickets in the first T20I on Tuesday. Invited to bat, Hardik Pandya (71 not out) and KL Rahul (55) scored scintillating half-centuries to help India post 208 for six. In reply, opener Cameron Green put India on the back foot with his 30-ball 61 before Matthew Wade (45 not out off 21) took the visitors over the line with four balls to spare. With the win, Australia took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
