1st ODI: Clinical Australia beat India by 34 runs; Rohits century goes in vain - As it happened

Sydney, Jan 12: A clinical effort from batsman followed by a superb spell of pace bowling from Jhye Richardson helped Australia beat India by 34 runs in the first one-day international here on Saturday (January 12). With this win Australia have taken 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.

Chasing a tough total of 289, India could only muster 253/9 in the stipulated 50 overs as Rohit Sharma's masterful knock of 133 went in vain. Rohit and MS Dhoni's (51) century stand after India's top-order was rattled by the Aussie pacers, however, brought the visitors in the game but a wrong LBW decision against Dhoni got India off track.

Richardson (10-2-26-2) emerged as the best bowler from either side and it was his fiery opening spell which laid the foundation for Australia's big win. India lost their three key players Shikhar Dhawan (0), Virat Kohli (2) and Ambati Rayudu (0) within five overs which meant India were had a lot of catching up to do in the run chase.

Earlier, Peter Handscomb, Shaun Marsh and Usman Khawaja hit sublime half-centuries as Australia reached 288/5 in 50 overs and set a target of 289 for India to chase. Handscomb (73), Khawaja (59) and Marsh (54) helped the hosts recover from the early dismissals of the openers and post a decent total at the Sydney Cricket Ground after captain Aaron Finch opted to bat. Marcus Stoinis (47*) and Glenn Maxwell (11*) remained unbeaten as the hosts posted a decent total on the board.
