Australian players started very well. They were straight away from the first over was dominating the Indian bowling attack. As we all know Indian bowling attack is not strong these days after Ishant Sharma having some problems they were looking much worst then the first odi and Australia were completely taking advantage of bad Indian bowling attack. Brad Haddin was very dominating although Shaun Marsh was playing his normal innings mean he was taking singles and was rotating strike easily. As soon as spinners came into bowl Shaun Marsh started hitting big shots. Then it was just bad luch for India. Australia reached there hundred in 16 overs. Mahendra Singh Dhoni was absolutely clueless his fast bowlers and Spin bowlers all were going for runs.
Soon enough both openers reached there fifity. Indian bowlers were not at all having any clue what to do to take wicket of these openers. Mahendra Singh Dhoni then decided to introduce "Sachin Tendulkar" into the bowling attack. It was a great day for Sachin with the bat but can he do something special with bowl too? His first few overs went for few runs but then he suddenly was turning the bowl well and after bowling spin well he bowled a flipper and that forced Brad Haddin to play big stroke and that was a big mistake he hitted the bowl straight to Yuvraj Singh on the off side and Brad Haddin had to depart on 70 runs.
Ricky Ponting the Australian captain came into the crease and from the bowl yes indeed from the bowl one he started to smashing Indian bowling attack. He didn't wanted any kind of pressure on him what so ever. He was regularly rotating the strike and that was taking from Shaun Marsh and as well as from Ricky Ponting too. Soon enough he smashes two sixes to Harbhajan Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni was not having any other option rather then again introducing Ravindra Jadeja into the attack. Ravindra Jadeja went for a four in his first over but by the time he was bowling some great deliveries too. He bowled a arm ball to Ricky Ponting and he tried to smash it for six and that stroke was high in the air Harbhajan Singh was at the leg side boundary and he collected a marvelous catch and Ricky Ponting was back to pavillion after making a well played 33. Australia were going very well there score was 211-2in 33 overs.
Shaun Marsh was on 99 when he nicked the ball straight to Mahendra Singh Dhoni but he missed it and we have to say it was a though chance. He has to jump to his left and it is never easy for a right hand keeper to take a catch on left side. After that dropped catch he straight awak took a single and reached his great Century and his maiden one too. Mahendra Singh Dhoni introduced Harbhajan Singh again into the attack and Shaun Marsh completely destroyed him in his comeback over. Mahendra Singh Dhoni on other side introduced Sachin Tendulkar we proved to be effective Sachin bowled a full length delivery on off side and Shaun Marsh tried to play it on the off side and Ravindra Jadeja tooked a great running catch with pointing his fingers upwards really rare o see finger pointing up catch from a Indian fielder. So a well played inning came to end Shaun Marsh made 113.
Michael Clarke was going very well too. This time Australia batting was looking very solid. Michael Clarke played his typical innings he rotated strike very often and as we know his running is very fast and as he was playing with Michael Hussey who is a fast runner too they both were picking some very quick runs. Michael Clarke soon enough hitted 3 sixes in three overs to Ravindra Jadeja and that was effecting Ravindra Jadeja bowling too. On the other hand Mike Hussey was playing some classic strokes as well. They both were set to take Australia too a historical win but Sachin Tendulkar started his over and bowled 4 dot balls and Michael Clarke thought to hit a big stroke and was deceived with the spin and Mahendra Singh Dhoni stumped him. Michael Clarke departed on 47.
After Michael Clarke wicket Adam Voges came into the crease but he departed on a first ball duck. After Adam Voges wicket Moises Henriques came into the crease and he continued the hope of winning this historical match. Mike Hussey then decided that enough is enough lets go for big strokes rather then wasting any further time. Now they both were hitting boundaries and Australia was inching closer to the target.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni took a chance and gaved the ball to Ishant Sharma. Straight away he bowled a bouncer to Mike Hussey and it went straight in the air and Gautam Gambhir took the catch easily. Next batsmen was James Hopes as most of us know he is so dangerous and he has ability to hit big strokes. He gaved a single to Moises Henriques. He smashes Ishant Sharma for four and on the last bowl of his over he got rid of Moises Henriques with a slower ball which he tried to smash but was straight to Gautam Gambhir.
~~One Over Later~~
Australia need 26 runs to win from 5 overs with 3 wickets in hand. It is looking that now Australia is close to a historical win. Ishant Sharma coming running very fast and he has bowled a similar delivery which he bowled to Mike Hussey to get rid of James Hopes. India str now sensing a great win. Next ball Mitchell Johnson tried to took a fast run but he was run out and it was a very bad call by him there was a no run there. Next ball was a dot ball and the ball next to it get the wicket of Brett Lee with a slower bowl on the off side. Again the catch was taken By Gautam Gambhir and India won the second odi. :happy :banana2
The final scorecard of the match is

@Aditya : Very good score card :hpraise can do better with the presentation .....
Adi, I dont think there is a word called "gaved" in any part of english dictionary. Btw, thanks for vcash. and yeah, I agree with the immediate post after the update. Sorry for this. I'm from mobile and I dunno your spelling perfectly.p
Thanks all for the comments. I updated this update quickly thus it had many spelling mistakes as you all know this story is going bit slow so i decided that let me complete this match and upcoming five odi's will be played with the help of the cricsim. It will help me to post updates quickly.
Hi and welcome to the third odi between India and Australia. After seeing a run fest in second odi this time it doesn't seem same. Lets know about the pitch completely by Jeremy Coney.
Well Thanks Sunny. This pitch is a worry for batsmen it is quite similar to the pitch which was used in first odi. Batsmens will surely have trouble playing on this surface but the good thing is finally bowlers will have their day. Whoever wins the toss should bat first i am saying that because this is a day/night match and pitch will slowly get damp because of shower which is expected at evening but don't worry it wont rain for long period or maybe it wont rain too lets hope it wont. So win the toss and bat first is my advice back to you sunny.
Thanks for pitch report Jeremy. Lets head way for the toss at the middle Ravi Shastri with both the captains.
So are you ready Delhi for a great match? This would surely be a great match and lets hope we will see something special in this match. So lets toss the coin and see who wins Dhoni has the coin Ricky will call.
Tails
Its tails so Ricky you win the toss what will you do? Batting?
Yes Ravi,As you know this pitch is a delight for bowlers and expecting much from Batsmens makes no sense. So lets hope to set a target of something around to 230/240 and hope to win this third odi.
Well lets see what Australia can do. Best of luck Ricky for this match.
So Dhoni after winning the second odi Indian will be surely thinking to win this one too? Although surface which was made in Nagpur was not at all similar to this one your thoughts?
Yes Ravi,It wont be easy for batsmens to bat on this surface. After having a great match with the bat in the second odi we need to play really well in this match to win this. Its a great surface for bowlers and after getting hammered at Nagpur they have a chance of taking few wickets lets see what they can do hoping to win this match and lead the series 2-1.
Yes Dhoni and best of luck for this match. All Indian are waiting for a yet another win by India. Back to you Sunny.
Well,Australia won the toss this time and as said by Jeremy they batted. Australia will surely have a benefit of batting first but they should not under reestimate Indian batting attack. Players like Sachin,Sehwag,Dhoni,Yuvraj really make it harder for other team to win specially when other team is defending a total. Lets hope for a great match. So news from the center is Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. Australia players are getting ready to set a good total on this surface we will catch for the live action straight away after this short commercial break.
