Chase from India

Shubman Gill was not available and India chose Washington Sundar for the opening partner of Rohit Sharma. an That was an ideal start from India as Rohit Sharma looked in some serious touch and played some breathtaking strokes. His partner struggled throughout the innings and, eventually, the partnership was broken on the 10.5th bowl while India was on 78. After that Rohit and Virat also looked good in the middle and added 70 runs for the 2nd wicket. India was on 144/1 after 20 overs. 

A batting collapse

After that Maxwell broke the partnership and Indian batting collapsed badly. Every Australian bowler got the wicket but Maxwell was the chief destroyer. He got 4 wickets Including Sundar, Rohit, Virat and Iyer. So he broke the the back of the Indian batting lineup. India got all out on 286 in the last over. Rohit Sharma scored 81 and Virat Kohli scored 56. Rohit Sharma completed the 550 sixes in international cricket.

That was the end of the series. 
Glenn Maxwell | Player of the Match
 Not too bad, is it! It has been a lot of hard work. The South Africa tour was a bit of a setback, but sped things up as well, got back home and got an injection. I don't have any travel issues, unlike the others. I look fresh. It's nice to chip in, if Mitch Marsh was there on the field, we would have chopped and changed [on the bowling]. Since he was not there, had to bowl more. That will be the role of the allrounders in this World Cup. We are all trying to be as flexible as possible. We have a super-flexible list and it's good to get some momentum before the World Cup.
Shubman Gill was presented with the Player of the Series award which Rohit collected as Gill is not here.
