Indian vice-captain KL Rahul scored his first 50 of the series to set up India for a big win at Ranchi on Friday evening. Rahul pulled off a couple of exquisite shots in his innings and completed his 50 in just 40 deliveries.
While he slowed down considerably after a successful powerplay from India where they scored 45 runs, Rahul got back into the act after smacking Adam Milne for consecutive 6 and 4 in the 11th over.
Rohit Sharma provided Rahul with good support on the other end and at the end of the 11th over was on 31 off 23 balls.
India were given a target of 154 runs by the visitors who failed to pick up slower deliveries from Harshal Patel at the back end of the innings.
If India manage to win this game, they will clinch the series by a margin of 2-0.
