India vs Australia Live ScoreCard : Australia hold nerve in thriller
October 25, 2009
India slumped to a heart-breaking four-run defeat to Australia to begin the seven-ODI series in Vadodara. Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar heroically brought India back in the match when they’d look dead and buried. Their thrilling eighth-wicket partnership of 84 in 57 balls reduced the equation to nine runs needed from six balls. Harbhajan fell for a 31-ball 49 to Peter Siddle, who conceded just four in the final over.
With as many as four half-centurions today, Australia motored to 292-8 in a well-compiled, smoothly paced innings after electing to bat. Only Gautam Gambhir could resist the onslaught of Australia’s bowlers, making 68 in a lost cause.
