Sportzwiki's Year Review: Top 5 Run-Chases Of 2016 2
Raina, Yuvraj celebrates after last ball four against Australia in a T20 game.

Australia did decimate India in the ODI series but then came the shorter format, where India turned the tables on the hosts to end their tour on a high.

Australia batted first on a good surface at the Sydney Cricket Ground as Shane Watson plundered another hundred to remain unbeaten on 124 runs off 71 balls to see the side put a mammoth score of 197 in 20 overs.

Then by the halfway mark, it was presumed that it might turn out to be one-sided affair but Indian openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma came out all guns blazing in a no holds barred attitude to flay the bowlers to all parts of the ground.

While the openers perished, Virat Kohli stood up to the situation to compile yet another fifty to see his side in the run-chase but it was befitting at the end as two modern great middle-order players in Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina collaborated to pull off an amazing win on the last ball.
