Australia has finally managed to deliver the winning punch after giving a tough fight to India in the first two One-Day International matches. The visitors have won the third ODI in Ranchi by 32 runs after a fine show in both departments. First, Aaron Finch found his form with the bat and shared a mammoth 193-run opening stand with Usman Khawaja, who raced to his maiden ODI ton in the process. Australia scored 313/5 in allotted 50 overs.

Aussie bowlers backed their batsmen’s effort with a good display with the ball and dismissed three Indian batsmen inside the first power play. Jhye Richardson, Pat Cummins, and Adam Zampa took three wickets apiece and dismissed India for 281.
