adminAARON FINCH made 96 to lead Australia to a four-wicket win over India and take control of the Tri-Series following their opening victory over England.Rohit Sharma earlier made 138, batting for 49 overs and adding 126 with Suresh Raina, to steer India to 267 for eight as they batted first at the MCG after winning the toss.
Mitchell Starc took a career-best six for 43 to limit India and Australia’s innings then developed along strikingly similar lines: Aaron Finch opened and played the anchor, sharing a 101-run third-wicket partnership with Steve Smith that carried Australia to within sight of victory.
Finch and Smith were out within three balls of each other around the 40th over and Australia lost two more wickets before they reached their target with six balls to spare. — The Guardian
