India v Australia, 1st ODI, Pune
Australia pacers too good for India
Having chosen to bat, Australia were given a solid platform. Aaron Finch scored a rapid half-century as the openers put on a century stand•BCCI
Yuvraj proved a thorn in Australia's side twice more as he dismissed the in-form Finch and ran out Adam Voges in the space of five overs and Australia were 172 for 4 in the 32nd•BCCI
Virat Kohli resisted, scoring the only fifty in the Indian innings, but his wicket left India struggling at 166 for 5 in the 35th over•BCCI
Yuvraj Singh's introduction fetched an immediate wicket - Shane Watson holed out off his first delivery to leave Australia at 113 for 2•BCCI
But George Bailey halted the minor stumble, making 85 off 82 balls to propel his team to 304 for 8 in 50 overs•BCCI
Faulkner added two more wickets to his tally as India fell to 192 for 6 in the 40th over•BCCI
All of the Australia seamers were disciplined, but it was James Faulkner who drew first blood, having Shikhar Dhawan caught behind. Amid all the excitement, he accidentally poked Brad Haddin in the eye•BCCI
And when the last recognised batsman, MS Dhoni, was bowled for 19, the game was all but sealed. The tail dragged it to the last over but India lost by 72 runs•BCCI
