Second Innings Batting : India Bowling : Australia
We have witnessed an exhilarating encounter and Australia have emerged victorious. It's been yet another all round performance by the home team. Brett Lee proved he is still the best bowler picking up a fifer. Gautam Gambhir scored his 2nd fantastic century of the series to take India near to the daunting target of 318. Uthappa's half century and a late cameo by Harbhajan reignited India's hopes but Lee's destructive over did not allow the game to slip out of Australia's grip. Ponting was named Man of the Match. Adam Gilchirst complemented Lee well claiming six dismissals. The series is still wide open and Sri Lanka have the chance to compete with Australia in the finals. If India win the next game against Sri Lanka they will go through the finals and if they lose than the final spot will be decided from the outcome of the final league game between Australia and Sri Lanka.
