There was no release of pressure by the visitors as they kept striking back and pulled things back with their spinners in the middle overs. Shaun Marsh went and Glenn Maxwell followed. (Source: Photo by AP)

But it was Shane Watson's day at the SCG. The right-hander, leading the side, did bulk of the scoring to keep the hosts brisk in the middle. He smashed his maiden T20I ton in the process. (Source: Photo by AP)
It was raining sixes from Watson en-route his magnificent hundred. The opener cleared the ropes on six occasions and remained unbeaten on 124 - a knock which helped his side post 197/5. (Source: Photo by AP)
It was always going to be a tough ask - chasing a total in excess of 190 but India openers responded in style. Shikhar Dhawan got the team off to a flier before falling to Watson but he set the tone of the chase. (Source: Photo by AP)

The opener had good company in Virat Kohli, who smashed his third T20I fifty on the trot, before the pair departed in quick succession. (Source: Photo by AP)
After quick departure of Kohli and Rohit, India still had a fair amount of runs to score and asking rate was around the 10-run mark. Suresh Raina, under pressure, did the job for India with a 25-ball 49 and he was ably supported by Yuvraj Singh who smashed a 6 and 4 in the last over to help India score 17 off 6 and sealed the match by seven wickets.
