New Delhi, March 13: The one-day international series between India and Australia has reached its fag end as the two teams go for the series-deciding fifth ODI here at Ferozeshah Kotla Stadium on Wednesday (March 13).
Australia captain Aaron Finch won the toss and elected to bat first against India as both the teams made two changes each in their playing XI. Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami are included in the Indian Playing XI while KL Rahul and Yuzvendra Chahal have been rested.
Marcus Stoinis and Nathan Lyon have replaced Shaun Marsh and Jason Behrendorff in Australia's Playing XI.
There are rare occasions when Virat Kohli-led Indian side is challenged by their opponents at home but the Australians have managed to do just that after going 2-0 down in the series. Indian were defeated in the next two games to their dismay and now have the last chance to win the series.
Australia, on the other hand, must be upbeat with their valiant efforts and one win in Delhi would give them a massive boost before the World Cup.
The Indian batsmen came up with a good effort to post 358 but for once their bowlers failed to deliver as Australia mounted an incredible chase. None of the frontline bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah were able to counter the calculative Australian batsmen, partly also because of the heavy dew at night. The conditions will not be too dissimilar at Delhi.
The biggest positive will be the sight of Shikhar Dhawan regaining his form after a recent lean patch and will require him to play in the same vein in Kotla, his home turf.
Here are the live updates from 5th ODI:
MAN OF MATCH & MAN OF THE SERIES AWARD goes to Usman Khawaja.
Wicket on the final delivery of the innings and India have been bundled out for 237 in the fifth and deciding ODI. Australia have won this match by 35 runs and they have also claimed the series 3-2 despite going 0-2 down.
Wicket! Mohammed Shami gives a return catch to Jhye Richardson and India are nine down for 230.
Wicket! This could well be called the final nail in the coffin for India as Kedar Jadhav (44) departs soon after Bhuvneshwar. He tries to pull Jhye Richardson but Glenn Maxwell takes a brilliant catch in the deep. India - 223/8 in 46.1 overs.
Wicket! Pat Cummins ends the dangerous stand as Bhuvneshwar Kumar spoons one to mid-off and Finch makes no mistake. He's out for 46. India - 223/7 in 46 overs. 50 needed from 24.
10 came from Jhye Richardson's over. India - 214/6 after 45 overs. They still need 59 from 30. But these two have ensured India do not go out without putting up a fight.
4 runs came from that over bowled by Pat Cummins. India - 204/6 after 44 overs, need 69 from 36 balls.
200 comes up for India with a single from Bhuvneshwar Kumar's bat in the 43rd over. Bhuvneshwar and Kedar have certainly saved their team from a massive embarrassment tonight.
There are more questions and solutions that India were looking for before the start of the series.
Instead of getting conclusive answers in this series, skipper @imVkohli, chief coach Ravi Shastri, batting, bowling and fielding coaches and the selectors are left with more questions on what the composition of WC squad should be

India - 191/6 after 42 overs.
SIX! Kedar Jadhav hits Maxwell over mid-wicket for a maximum. He's cementing his position in the team and ensuring he gets that ticket to England.
Four! Bhuvneshwar ends Maxwell's over with a boundary. 9 runs came from that over and India reach 178/6 in 40 overs. 95 more needed from 60 deliveries.
India are 161/6 at the end of 36 overs. Kedar and Bhuvneshwar are the last recognised batting pair.
150 comes up for India in the 34th over.
Big reason of worry for India.
India's World Cup hopefuls haven't sealed their spots.......

Wicket! Ravindra Jadeja departs for duck and he's been stumped by Alex Carey. Second wicket for Zampa in this over. India are crumbling in this run chase as they are six down already and the scoreboard reads 132.
Wicket! There goes India's last hope! Rohit Sharma is stumped by Alex Carey for 52 and Zampa finally gets the wicket of the Mumbaikar. India are 132/5.
India are 131/4 after 27 overs in this run chase of 273.
Lucky! Rohit Sharma gets another breather - second time in a row against Zampa - as Glenn Maxwell puts down a sitter at short extra cover.
Lucky! Alex Carey gave a breather to Rohit Sharma for 51. Zampa could have got his second wicket in that over.
SIX and Wicket! Vijay Shankar throws his wicket away soon after getting a maximum off Adam Zampa. The Tamil Nadu cricketer got carried away and pays the price as he departs for 16 and India are 120/4 now.
Fifty! Rohit Sharma brings up his 41st ODI half-century with a single. This is his 7th ODI fifty against Australia.
8000 ODI Runs for Rohit Sharma in his 200th innings. The Mumbaikar has joined the elite club of Sachin Tendulkar, Mohd Azharuddin, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli.
Congratulations @ImRo45 on completing 8000 runs in ODI cricket 👏👏 pic.twitter.com/qCpi2KgfrZ

100 comes up for India in the 21st over. Shikhar, Virat and Rishabh are back into the dressing room and the fans at Ferozeshah Kotla are hoping for a miracle.
4 runs came from the 20th over as India reach 98/3.
Wicket! Rishabh Pant's innings comes to an end as he's been dismissed for 16 by Nathan Lyon. It was a brilliant delivery from the senior spinner and Pant ended up edging. Alert Ashton Turner at first slip did the rest. India - 91/3.
SIX!!! Rishabh Pant welcomes Adam Zampa in style with a maximum over midwicket.
15 overs are gone and India are 78/2.
Big Wicket! Marcus Stoinis gives India their biggest jolt as he gets the big fish in Indian captain Virat Kohli for 20. Kohli looked to cut the bowler but ends up giving an edge. India - 68/2 after 12.4 overs.
50-run partnership between Kohli and Rohit off 45 deliveries. India 66/1 after 12 overs.
