Australia v India

At Amstelveen, August 23. No result. Australia 3 pts, India 3 pts. Toss: Australia.

Rain snuffed out the match two balls before the close of Australia's innings, already reduced to 32 overs by morning drizzle. In between, Clarke's assurance against the Indian bowlers eased Australia to a strong position, bringing 42 off 28 balls, including six fours, before Sehwag took off to hold him at deep mid-on. Balaji, from a shortened run, moved the ball both ways to snare three wickets.
