AUSTRALIA WIN BY 5 WICKETS!!!

- Aus 310-5 (49.2 ovs) vs India 309-3 | SCORECARD


Australia's run machine Smith on the verge of another landmark, just two runs short of the 150-run mark.

The two Australian batsmen are in no hurry and are content to play it in singles, off Yadav in the penultimate over.

Smith is two short of the landmark, while Australia need three for victory. It will be interesting to see if he tries to finish off in style, with a boundary.

Yadav bowls a good yorker, which Smith drives to deep midwicket for a single from the fifth ball to take his score to 149.

The last ball is another good yorker as Marsh blocks it, leaving Australia to get two runs from the final over for victory.

And it is the young Sran, who gets the big wicket of Smith, caught in the covers after a superb innings of 149, hitting 11 fours and two sixes in 135 deliveries.

Did Smith lose his focus as he looked for a personal landmark, with just one run needed for his 150?

Faulkner comes down the track as Sran bowls a leg side wide before the right-hander drives it down to long-on for a single to take Australia to victory.
