2nd ODI: India v Australia (Winner: IND)

Australia got off to a disastrous start with two early wickets lost and struggled to score as they laboured to 57/2 in 17 overs as their COW fell to 40%. Hussey and Clarke set about reviving the inning with a century partnership and by the time Hussey got out Australia were 160/2 in 37 with a COW of 43%. Oz took advantage of powerplay and Clarke’s century plus White’s whirlwind fifty took them to 289/3 with a COW of 56%. Indian inning mirrored Australia’s with two early wickets and a slow start that saw them reach 51/2 in 13 with COW of 36%. But Yuvraj and Virat put together a century partnership before Yuvraj fell after scoring a fifty with India at 172/3 in 34 overs with a COW of 33%. Raina and Virat then raised the tempo and even though Virat and Dhoni fell quickly, Raina’s quickfire fifty ensured India won with 7 balls remaining.
