Australia registered the highest successful run-chase recorded by a team against India in T20 Internationals when it overhauled a 223-run target in the third T20I in Guwahati on Tuesday.

Glenn Maxwell struck a 47-ball hundred to guide Australia to a five-wicket win off the last ball of the match. Previously, the highest successful T20I run-chase against India was registered by South Africa, which chased down a 212-run target in Delhi last year.

This was also Australia’s second-highest successful run-chase in T20I history, bettered only its five-wicket win when chasing New Zealand’s 244-run target in 2018 at Auckland.

India has now lost four matches after setting a target of 200 or more in T20 Internationals, with Australia and South Africa achieving the feat two times each.

Australia had chased down 209 with four balls to spare against India at Mohali in September last year. In 2015, South Africa had overhauled a 200-run target at Dharamsala.
