Aus 216 (47.2 ovs) vs Ind | Scorecard

Nagarkoti is once again the pick of the bowlers for India with three wickets against his name as Australia slumped from 134 for 4 in the 29th over to 216 all out in the 48th over.

Other than Merlo (76), Uppal (34) and McSweeney (23), no other noteworthy contributions were made by the Aussie batsmen.

India now have a chance to claim their record fourth title with a disciplined batting effort.

Mavi brought back into the attack and finishes the job.

Bowls in that corridor, Hadley gets a faint nick and Aus all-out for 216.

No 11 bat Lloyd Pope comes to the crease.

Ryan Hadley comes in to bat and gets a single to get off the mark.

Holt tries to go after the bowling, Shiva can't get there in time and the catch goes down but he has the presence of mind to throw the ball back to the keeper to have Holt run-out for 13.

Nagarkoti continues and strikes !

Full and quick and Evans is beaten all ends up and he goes for 1.

That 250-run target is looking a distant dream now.

Zak Evans comes into bat at the fall of Merlo's wicket. He gets off the mark with a single.

That's four runs and a wicket in the over.

Roy comes back into the attack and strikes!

Just when Merlo was looking to accelerate, he holes out to Shiva in the deep.

That is the end of his fighting knock.

Last five overs to go and Australia will look to step on the gas to go past the 250-run mark.

Nagarkoti continues with five men on the boundary.

Bolt plays it to mid-on and scampers for a run. Another run-out chance goes out of the window.

Merlo plays a single to point, followed by Holt's hit to deep backward point that allows him a single.

Nagarkoti then bowls two slower balls to have the batsman surprised.

Merlo plays the last ball of the over to cover point for a single and four come off it.

Shiva continues and Holt pushes for a couple to mid-wicket.

The Aussie batsmen are working the ball around well in the PowerPlay and six runs come off the over.

That is the end of Shiva's quota of runs. He figures read 10 overs for 2 wickets and 36 runs. Just brilliant that!

Mavi continues and six runs come off the over. 200 up for Australia.
