India vs Australia at Adelaide

IND vs AUS, match 7, Adelaide: Australia beat India by 50 runs

Australia's under-fire top-order batting line-up was once again rescued by a brilliant bowling display, as India crumbled to a 50-run defeat in the one-day international at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday evening.
Another disappointing display with the bat sore Australia reach a meagre total of 9-203 from their 50 overs but marshalled by the in-form Mitchell Johnson, Australia were able to knock over the Indians for 153 with 8.4 overs remaining and picking up another bonus point. Johnson took the important wickets of Gautam Gambhir early in the innings as well as Robin Uthappa and Harbhajan Singh to put the Australians on the brink of victory with figures of 3 for 42 off 10 overs.
James Hopes and Brad Hogg also chipped in at crucial stages, Hopes (2 for 16) starting the Indian capitulation with the wicket of the promoted Irfan Pathan and Hogg (2 for 30) removing the dangerous Yuvraj Singh.

IND vs AUS, match 7, Adelaide: Lee absence gives India edge

India will look to take advantage of Brett Lee’s absence as they face Australia for the third time in the league phase of the tri-series at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
Lee, who has turned out to be the most lethal weapon for the home side this summer, will be rested as part of the player management policy and to refresh him for the later stages of the tournament. The news could not have come at a better time for the Indians. This game assumes great importance for them as a victory would open up the gap with Sri Lanka both in terms of points and net run rate.
Australia lead the table with 12 points from four matches (run rate +1.179). India are second with eight points and have a net run rate of +0.147. Sri Lanka have 6 points (run rate -1.507). Three of India’s four games have been rain-affected but no such trouble is anticipated for Sunday’s match. It was pretty hot on Saturday and Australia will have to live up to the reality of Lee’s absence.

India team (from): Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Robin Uthappa, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth/Munaf Patel.
Australia team (from): Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Mike Hussey, David Hussey, James Hopes, Brad Hogg, Stuart Clark, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Bracken.
