Australia slumped to their fifth consecutive defeat in the format and will have some thinking to do before the final ODI. David Warner continued his good run with a half-century while Sean Abbott scored a quick-fire 54, which was the only positive for the visitors.
India will be happy with the batters getting game time and making the most of it as well. The spin duo of Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin fired in tandem. With Axar Patel likely to miss out, Ashwin will look to back up his clinical display to make it to the World Cup squad.
