Batting first, Australia struggled against disciplined Indian bowling. Apart from Matthew Hayden’s powerful 54, the top order failed to make significant contributions and the innings slipped to 117/6. However, a superb counterattack from Brad Haddin (46) and Brad Hogg (38) rescued Australia. Their 77-run partnership in just over 13 overs pushed Australia to a competitive total of 213. India’s chase started poorly. Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid and Mohammad Kaif fell early as the hosts collapsed to 50/4 and later 96/5. The only Indian batsman who showed composure was Dinesh Mongia, who returned to the national side after 17 months and produced a brilliant unbeaten 63. Alongside Suresh Raina, he attempted to rebuild the innings with a crucial partnership. Despite Mongia’s calm and intelligent batting, the lower order collapsed under pressure. Brett Lee delivered a devastating spell, claiming 5 wickets, his sixth five-wicket haul in ODIs, as India were bowled out for 195. 🏏 Result: Australia won by 18 runs 🏆 Match Highlight: Brett Lee – 5 wickets ⭐ Top Performance (India): Dinesh Mongia – 63* 🔥 Key Partnership: Brad Haddin & Brad Hogg – 77 runs This match is remembered as a low-scoring but intense contest, where Australia’s bowlers held their nerve to defend a modest total. #indvsaus #cricket #thriller #indiavsaustralia #closefinish #cricketmax #highlights
