BENGALURU, India — Pacers Mukesh Kumar and Arshdeep Singh shared five wickets as India beat Australia by six runs in their fifth Twenty20 cricket international to win the series 4-1. Kumar took 3-32 in four overs while Singh overturned an expensive spell with a fine last over as India restricted Australia to 154-8 in reply to 160-8. Australia skipper Matthew Wade scored a 15-ball 22 to keep his side in the game with 10 runs needed off six deliveries. But Singh dismissed Wade halfway through the 20th over to help India cross the finish line. Shreyas Iyer hit 53 runs off 37 balls for India. India already had an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
