India entered the fifth and final T20I against Australia on Sunday having already secured the series, but the way Indian bowlers defended a modest total to make it 4-1, it augurs well for India on the road to next year's T20 World Cup.
Riding on Shreyas Iyer's half-century (53 off 37 balls) and useful late cameos by Jitesh Sharma (24 off 16) and Axar Patel (31 off 21), India posted 160/8 after being asked to bat first by Australia skipper Matthew Wade.
