This match was a thrilling end to a closely contested series between two of the world’s top ODI teams. Australia’s win was well-deserved, with their bowlers putting in a clinical performance to defend a modest total. India, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their batting performance, especially the middle-order collapse that cost them the match.
