India vs Australia: Fourth T20 cricket match – as it happened

That’s it from the live blog.

India have wrapped up a thrilling series 3-1.

The performances from the hosts have been astonishing, and but for Maxwell’s magnificence in the last match, it could have been even more emphatic for the young Indian team.

No surprise that Axar was named player of the match for his outstanding spell, which included the scalp of Head in his three wickets.

For now, though, from us all, it’s goodbye.

Australia captain Wade admitted his side lost this game to the Indian spinners.

“We didn’t play the spin very well through the middle,” he said in the post-match ceremony.

“They got hold of us in the fifth over and didn’t let go.

“There’s some areas to tighten up for us. We need to continue to learn, especially the guys who are below the experienced guys in the squad.

“The World Cup is just around the corner, so these are opportunities to impress.”

Indian captain Yadav led his side to a 3-1 series win and was delighted with the recovery from defeat in the last game.

“The toss didn’t go our way, but the character the boys showed is important,” he said at the post-match ceremony.

“We said we have to go out and express ourselves – be fearless and be clear in your mind.

“The plan was clear with the ball – whatever happens, however many runs they have, stick to the yorkers.”

Jaiswal and Gaikwad gave the innings another fantastic start for India while Rinku was the top scorer with 46 from 29.

His strike rate was only bettered by the keeper, Jitesh, hitting 35 from 19.

Can anything top Axar’s 3-16 from his four overs, through?

He and Bishnoi (1-17) did a lot of damage in the middle overs.

That’s a 14th straight series win at home for India.

For a side looking to the future, it will make up in some ways for the disappointment of the World Cup final.

The pain is certainly etched on the face of the Australians and their skipper, Wade, and their hero from the final, Head.

Maxwell came up with the goods to keep the series alive in the third match, but overall, a youthful Indian side have put a far more experienced Australia side to the sword.

The South Asians won the series 3-1 with one game to spare, and the expectation will be for this exciting group of players to collect another win in the final game of the series on Sunday.

And they win the match by 20 runs.

Wade can’t deliver the boundaries needed as two dot balls start the over.

Avesh delivers two excellent yorkers.

A six is found from the fourth ball of the over as Wade smears over square, but the game is long done.

The last ball is a full toss and dragged for a single.

The fireworks go off in celebration.

Wade hammers four with an open face through cover first ball as Mukesh offers width.

The second ball is tighter to the left-hander, and he slices it, but the ball drops short of long off.

Green pushes a single, and a dot ball follows to Wade, who manages to take two the following ball, but Australia need boundaries.

Wade also needs the strike for the final over, and he pushes a single into the covers. A direct hit and even the dive wouldn’t have saved him.

Australia need 31 to win from six balls.

Green is the new batter, and he can hit big.

He drives a low full toss for single first ball. Wade clips a single to deep square, and Green should be looking for a boundary off the last ball.

It’s a yorker from Avesh – very clever – and dug out by Green.

Seven off the over and 40 to win from the last two overs with Wade on strike.

That’s four less than they needed off the last 12 balls in the last game, but there’s no Maxwell out there right now.

Here comes the charge. Avesh drops short first ball and Wade pulls him fine of mid on for four.

He drops a single next ball and Dwarshuis takes strike.

He swings hard at a length ball but misses and off stump is out of the ground.

The left-hander falls for one from two balls faced.

Dwarshuis is the new batter and he and Wade exchange singles to end the over.

The Aussie captain keeps the strike.

47 needed from 18.

Short survived a top edge landing a safe first ball of the over but now he drags a pull straight to Jaiswal at midwicket.

Chahar strikes as Short falls for 22 off 19.

Wade was a spectator as Maxwell destroyed the Indian bowlers in the last match.

He had a fine solo effort in defeat in the second match – Australia really need him now if this series is to go to the final game.

The left-hander scoops Mukesh for six midway through the over – and it’s a no ball for overstepping.

Brilliant yorker from right arm over that thumps onto the boot and the free hit comes to nothing.

Two singles and a wide preceded the six. Only two singles and a two follow it but 15 off the over.

53 to win from 24.

The Aussies are up against it now with the wicket of David.

Short had hit Chahar for six back over his head earlier in the over.

Australia captain Wade comes in at seven.

67 needed off 30 – the wicket column is the problem though.

David tries to hook a short ball and picks out deep midwicket.

It was an off cutter from Chahar and the right-hander going for 19.

Mukesh shaves the off stump as Short is nearly bowled.

The ball died off the surface as Short looked to drag it into the on side.

The ball could not have been close to off stump.

Short had heaved four through the leg side earlier in the over as well as straight driving another boundary all along the floor.

Just a single of Bishnoi’s final over.

He finishes with 1-17 from his four. Brilliant and could be match-defining.

All the spinners are bowled out now – that could be Australia’s way back in.

McDermott had pulled for four just before the wicket.

Short is the new batter and finds two before the over is out.

Another Aussie batter is bowled.

McDermott is the latest to swing and miss. He goes for 19 from 22.

Rinku saves the boundary on the rope last ball of the over off Bishnoi.

McDermott picks up three with though as he worked it wide of long on.

Four singles off the over otherwise.

A six helps matters for Australia as Avesh drops short and David hooks over deep square.

Four singles and 10 off the over.

India were 79-3 at the same stage.
