Australia defeated India convincingly in the second T20 International in Guwahati to level the series 1-1. But in a rather unfortunate turn of events, the Australian team bus was attacked with a rock when they were going back to the hotel. Australian opener Aaron Finch tweeted the picture of broken window panes of the team bus. He said, " Pretty scary having a rock thrown through the team bus window on the way back to the hotel!!". Captain David Warner subsequently retweeted his teammate's post. 

This is undoubtedly a grave security breach and BCCI and local security agencies will have lot of explanation to do regarding it. 

Ironically, this is what Harsha Bhogle had tweeted shortly before the incident.

India had a forgettable outing with both bat and ball as Australia bounced back in the T20 series with a crushing eight-wicket win in the second game here today. Rookier pacer Jason Behrendorff (4/21) ripped through the high-profile Indian batting to restrict the home team to a below par 118 at the Baraspara Stadium, which hosted its first international match tonight.

Later, Travis Head (48 off 34) and Moises Henriques (62 off 46) shared an unbeaten 109-run stand off 76 balls to fire Australia to a series levelling win in just 15.3 overs. The victory was also Australia's first over India in eight T20 Internationals. The series decider will be played in Hyderabad on Friday. The lefthand-righthand combination of Head and Henriques took the game away from India after the visitors lost their dangerous openers, David Warner and Aaron Finch, by the third over.
