- India 302-5; Australia 289 all out | India win by 13 runs
- Australia win series 2-1 despite defeat at Manuka Oval
Australia’s shot at a rare series clean sweep of India were killed off in the final overs as they fell short by 13 runs in the third ODI in Canberra. Glenn Maxwell put the hosts in a position to win the game with a dominant 59 from 38 balls, but his dismissal in the 45th over saw Australia lose 4-21 to be all out for 289.
Their effort was in deep contrast to that of India, who smashed 84 runs from the same five-and-a-half over period in their innings. With it went Australia’s chances of their first series whitewash over India since 1999-2000, as the tourists take some confidence into the Twenty20 series starting on Friday.
