00:00 Australia defeated India by 66 runs in the third and final ODI at Rajkot, even as India
00:11 won the three-match series 2-1.
00:13 The Rohit Sharma-led Indian side was cruising at 171 for two, chasing a target of 353 on
00:20 a pacifying track.
00:22 But the middle order crumbled under pressure from Glenn Maxwell, who returned with 4 for
00:27 40.
00:28 The win from Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli provided a solid platform for India,
00:34 but the rest of the team fell short, leaving Australia as the victors.
00:39 Australia's top-notch performance featured Mitchell Marshall's 96-run knock, while 50s
00:44 from David Warner, Steve Smith and Manas Labhushain helped their team post a mammoth total on
00:50 the board while batting first.
00:52 The win also broke a five-ODI losing streak for the Pat Cummins-led Aussie side.
00:58 On the chase, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli looked promising with their half-centuries,
01:04 but after their fall, the rest of the batters fumbled collectively in the big-run chase.
01:10 Maxwell marked his return after a six-month injury layoff period by restricting India's
01:16 chase and set the tone for an important Australian victory.
01:20 Rohit and Kohli displayed their batting prowess, exploiting the Australian bowling attack
01:25 early on, but succumbed to Glenn Maxwell's off-spin, severely impacting India's run
01:31 chase.
01:32 Despite a set podium, India's middle order stumbled, which enabled Australia to seize
01:38 control in the middle overs.
01:40 KL Rahul and Suri Kumar Yadav could only add a little before their dismissal.
01:46 Glenn Maxwell claimed another victim in Shreyas Iyer, the Centurion from the previous game.
01:52 Josh Hazlewood also added to India's misery by taking out Kuldeep Yadav.
01:57 Ravindra Jadeja's knock of 35 runs kept the hopes alive for the Indians, but his effort
02:03 went in vain as the hosts lost the match by 66 runs.
02:08 Despite the defeat, India claimed the series 2-1.
02:11 The two teams will meet again in 10 days' time in their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 opener
02:17 in Chennai.
