And the job is done. Marcus Stoinis castles Kuldeep Yadav off the last ball of the match. Australia win by 35 runs. It was a complete performance by the tourists who have ended their six series loss streak, beating India in India for the first time since 2009. This is also India's first ODI series defeat since 2015. And it was their best players of the series - Usman Khawaja and Adam Zampa - who starred yet again in this crucial game. So many pleasant news for the visitors for the visitors and so many more questions for India as they head to the world cup. Irrespective of the result, this was a good series, well-fought between the two sides. Thank you for joining us.

WICKET Kedar Jadhav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were turning this around, the requirement had come down to 59 from 30 balls. But after a boundary, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has perished in a bid to go over the top again. A fine partnership comes to an end. Decisive blow?

Kedar Jadhav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are keeping India's chase on. Even as the required rate is going up, the duo is bringing the required runs down. There isn't much quality batting left after them.

DOUBLE WICKET MAIDEN! Adam Zampa takes another, this time with a googly. Ravindra Jadeja falls for a duck. Superb glovework by Alex Carey to stump him out. India are reeling here. Make it 132 for 6.

ROHIT SHARMA FALLS! Australia continue to pick wickets and further dent India's chase. Adam Zampa has made Rohit his bunny! 132 for 5

Rohit Sharma has held one end strong and brought up his 41st ODI fifty. His innings, amidst the fall of wickets at the other end, has kept India in the chase.

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has just brought up his 8000th ODI run, joint-third fastest to the mark. Only Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers are faster to the mark.

Australia strike soon after the Drinks break. Rishabh Pant, who had just warmed up with a six is out edging Nathan Lyon to slip. Third wicket down. India need a stable partnership.

BIG WICKET Virat Kohli attempted to slash hard outside off and edged it to the 'keeper. Marcus Stoinis with the wicket, and isn't he delighted!

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have consolidated well and brought up a half-century stand for the second wicket. Without having to take too many risks, India are chugging along at a healthy rate.

WICKET Pat Cummins has struck early. Shikhar Dhawan plays inside the line and gets an edge to the 'keeper. Two crisp boundaries and done.

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have walked out to open the innings for India. Pat Cummins and Jhye Richardson take a new ball each.







Aaron Finch has won the toss and elected to bat. Marcus Stonis and Nathan Lyon have come in for Shaun Marsh and Jason Behrendorff. India have included Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja in place of Yuzvendra Chahal and KL Rahul. This, Virat Kohli believes is India's best combination going in to the world cup.
