Bad weather washes out 7th ODI India Vs Australia

Bad weather, in the form of a cyclone over the Arabian Sea near Mumbai and continuous heavy rains in the city over the past 24 hours, washed out the seventh and final ODI between India and Australia on Wednesday.With this, Australia win the series 4-2 and have the double bonus of Shane Watson declared Man of the Series.

That the match would be called off was clear in the morning, which broke grey and wet; though the rain abated, and by afternoon had become an occasional drizzle, it had done enough to turn the DY Patil Stadium into a pool of water. The match was officially called off at 5 p.m.

Australia win by six-wicket Against India 6th ODI

Doug Bollinger took 5-35 and Shane Watson hit 49 as Australia thrashed India by six wickets to win the sixth one-day international and the seven-match series 4-2 here on Sunday.

Bollinger combined with fellow left-arm quick Mitchell Johnson (3-39) to bowl out India for 170 in 48 overs before Watson's run-a-ball knock guided the world champions to 172-4 with 8.1 overs to spare.

Harbhajan Singh picked up 2-23 but the injury-hit Aussies, missing nine of their regular one-day players, did well on a tricky wicket at the Nehru stadium to clinch the series ahead of the final game in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Watson smashed 10 fours and put on 61 runs for the second wicket with captain Ricky Ponting (25) after the early dismissal of Shaun Marsh, trapped leg before by paceman Munaf Patel.

Australia defeated India by 3 runs

Australia defeated India by three runs despite a scintillating 175 by Sachin Tendulkar in the fifth one-day international here on Thurday.
Tendulkar, 36, smashed 19 fours and four sixes for his 45th one-day century before India were bowled out for 347 in 49.4 overs while chasing Australia's imposing 350-4 in 50 overs.
Tendulkar, who became the first batsman ever to surpass 17,000 runs in one-day cricket when he reached seven runs, also shared a 137-run partnership with Suresh Raina (59) to take India close in the day-night encounter.

But his dismissal in the 48th over proved the turning point of the game and handed Australia a 3-2 lead in the seven-match series.

Australia Beat India by 24 Runs in Mohali (4th ODI)

Australia defeated India by 24 runs in the fourth One-day international at the Punjab Cricket Association stadium here Monday.
Chasing 251, India were all out for 226 in 46.4 overs. Virender Sehwag (30) and Sachin Tendulkar (40) gave India a good start, but from there on Indian batsmen lost the plot. Harbhajan Singh (31) and Praveen Kumar (16) fought back before Shane Watson (3-29)  removed both. Doug Bollinger (3-38) and Nathan Hauritz (2-31) were the other successful bowlers. Australia thus levelled the seven-match series 2-2.

India lead 2-1 against Australia in 7 ODI series

Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh made light of a top-order slump to pace India to a comfortable six-wicket victory in the third one-dayer against Australia at the dew-drenched Ferozeshah Kotla here Saturday.

Chasing a competitive 230-run target on a difficult slow and low pitch, India lost three quick wickets before Yuvraj (78 off 96 balls) and Dhoni (71 not out off 95 balls) put on a match-winning 148-run partnership to see the hosts home with ten balls to spare. 

The back-to-back victories at Nagpur and here give India a 2-1 lead in the seven-match series.

India Crush to Australia 2nd ODI by 99 Runs Nagpur

The Indian captain MS Dhoni scored 124 off 107 balls, his fifth century, while Gautam Gambhir struck 76 off 80 balls. After Gambhir's exit, Suresh Raina played a perfect foil to Dhoni, smashing 62 off 50 balls.   

Chasing a victory target of 355 runs, Australia were bowled out for 255 in 48.3 overs. 
Ravindra Jadeja (3-35), Praveen Kumar (2-37) and Ishant Sharma (2-34) were the wicket-takers.

Dhoni added 119 runs with Gambhir and 136 with Raina.

Dhoni's half-century came in 55 balls and included threefours, before he plundered the bowling in the death, bludgeoning six fours and three sixes.   

Virender Sehwag laid the foundation with a blistering 40 off 31 balls with the help of six fours and one six. Yuvraj Singh, coming back to international cricket after missing the Champions Trophy, kept the momentum going, scoring 23 off 24 balls.   

It was a compact performance by the Indian batsmen who fumbled while chasing 293 in the first ODI at Vadodara.

Australia Crush to India 1st ODI by 4 Runs

The first match of the seven-game ODI series between India and Australia in Vadodara had a thrilling finish on Sunday, as the Indian players failed to hold on their nerve and fell short by four runs.At one point the match did seem like heading towards Australia’s grip after the Indian star batsmen were unable to score freely on a batsman-friendly pitch, but the late heroics by Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar made the last 10 overs of the second innings added sparkle to the match.Earlier, opting to bat first Australia scored a respectable score of 292 for eight wickets after a splendid batting performance by captain Ricky Ponting (74 runs), Michael Hussey (73 runs), Tim Paine (50 runs) and Cameron White (51 runs). 

With a target of 293 on the board, the Indian team required a good start from its openers Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, but both the batsmen struggled in front of Australian spearheads Brett Lee and Shane Watson.
