Match Status: India beat Australia by 6 wickets

Player of the match: Yuvraj Singh

India complete another comprehensive victory over Australia as they chase down the target of 230 in 48.2 overs, completing a brilliant 6-wicket win. The home side now lead the series 2-1 with another 4 games to play.The conditions were quite hard for the batsmen as scoring runs became difficult in the second innings. India lost Sehwag (11) after a steady start and soon even Gambhir (6) departed. Tendulkar (32) hung around for a while and looked good before he was run out off a direct hit. The home side looked in trouble then but after that, it was all Yuvraj and Dhoni as both added 148 runs for the 4th wicket taking their side closer to victory. They made batting look ridiculously easy on a difficult track. Yuvraj departed for 78 but Dhoni (71*) remained unbeaten and sealed the victory along with Raina (9*). Indian skipper MS Dhoni is No.1 in the player rankings while Yuvraj Singh is No.2 and both of them did their job quite well today. Another interesting fact is that MS Dhoni has now remained unbeaten or rather has completed 22 successful run chases for India.
