BRISBANE: Australia defeated India by four runs via D/L method in the rain-hit first Twenty20 International of the three-match series at the Gabba here Wednesday.
Sent into bat, Australia made 158/4 in 17 overs after rain cut the game short to 17-overs-a-side affair.
Chasing 174 runs for a win after D/L method came into action, India fell short by five runs, managing 169 for seven.
In a bid to assert themselves as favourites for the Test series, which starts December 6 in Adelaide, India would be hoping to win the remaining two T20Is.
The touring side had won its previous seven T20I series dating back to November 2017, and its last defeat in the format was against West Indies in July last year.
