Venue: Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur
Toss: Australia elected to bat
Match status: Australia beat India by 4 runs
Player of the match: Michael Hussey
What a match! 580 runs in 100 overs for the loss of 16 wickets! After winning the toss and opting to bat, Australia scored a mammoth 292/8 in 50 overs. India stuttered at the start, losing openers Sehwag and Tendulkar early. The middle-order then resurrected the innings and kept India in the hunt with excellent partnerships. But then, Gambhir's wicket turned the match around as India lost 4/34 in 39 balls. And when things were shaping up to an easy Aussie win, out came two lower order batsmen, Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar, who added 84 in 57 balls for the eighth wicket! India almost pulled off a magnificent victory but Harbhajan Singh's wicket put out India's hopes as Australia crossed the line. Not much difference between the two teams in batting. The Aussie bowling was more disciplined than the Indian one. But the main thing which proved to be the main difference was the fielding. India gave away too many runs in the field and misfielded many times which was far lower on the Australian side. Also, running between the wickets for India was slack and Australia proved to be better. Excellent knock of 68 from Gambhir and valiant knocks from Harbhajan Singh(49) and Praveen Kumar(40 not out).
Score
Australia: 292/8 in 50 overs. Run rate 5.84
India: 288/8 in 50 Overs. Run rate 5.76
