India 16-1 (2 ovs), D/L Target: 48 in 6 ovs | Scorecard
In-form Rohit Sharma walks out to open the batting with Shikhar Dhawan, who is making a comeback to the team after missing the ODI series.
For Australia debutant pacer Jason Behrendorff starts off with the ball. He starts with a half volley on the pads which Rohit flicks through midwicket for a four to begin his innings in confident fashion.
He defend the next few balls before taking a single off the fifth ball and Dhawan is beaten off the last ball, fishing for one outside the off-stump.
Nathan Coulter-Nile to bowl the second over. The first ball is despatched over the fine leg fence for a six as Rohit looks desperate to get India off to a flier.
But Coulter-Nile gets revenge immediately as he bowls Rohit with a full delivery as the right-hander plays over it and is dismissed for 11.
Captain Virat Kohli has a close shave as he looks for a run before deciding against it after Dhawan has driven it to mid-on, however he safely makes his ground before the fielder hit the stumps.
Dhawan plays an uppish drive off the last ball which goes past the bowler and fielder at mid-on for a four.
