Australia 306 for 6 (Haddin 87*, Symonds 87, Hayden 75, Sreesanth 3-67) beat India 222 (Dhoni 58, Hogg 3-40) by 84 runs
Australia duly claimed the 1-0 lead that they had threatened during Saturday's washed-out series opener, stamping their authority over India. India were brought down to earth after the euphoria of the Twenty20 World Cup triumph by a determined Australia who thrashed the hosts by an emphatic margin of 84 runs in the second One-dayer on Tuesday.
With all the rain about, the decision at the toss was always going to be a tricky one but Dhoni's decision to bowl first, having chosen to play two spinners and to leave out a medium-pacer, smacked of a gamble on the weather intervening. Dhoni put the Australians in to bat in the hope of exploiting the wet conditions, but as the sun dried out the pitch and its surrounding area, India's hopes evaporated.
In a completely lop-sided encounter, the Australians first recovered from early jolts to post a commanding 306 for six and then bundled out the home team for 222 in 47.3 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the seven-match series.
