Team India have bagged the 5-match T20I series with a 20-run win against Australia in the 4th T20I as the Indian spinners proved lethal on the night to take the Men in Blue home.

Put to bat first, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad  gave the side a healthy start. However, wickets at regular intervals saw the team struggle at 111-4 at 13.2 overs.

On came Rinku Singh (46) who along with Jitesh Sharma (35) started piling pressure on the Aussie bowlers and helped the home side post a competitive 174/9 on the board.

In reply, Australia's world cup winner Travis Head contributed well with a 16-ball 31. But it wasn't Australia's night as Indian spinners featuring the likes of Axar Patel (3) and Ravi Bishnoi (1) turned the game in India's favour and decimated the Aussie batting order.

Matthew Wade topscored for the visitors with 36 as Australia only managed 154/7 in the end which eventually handed India another T20 series win.
