Australia registered a massive 87-run victory over India in the tri-series ODI match at Sidney today. Only a miracle can now help the beleaguered team India to qualify for the finals.The Indians did reasonably well in the death overs to restrict the hosts to 252 for nine but could never really recover from the early jolts to fold up for a paltry 165 in 39.3 overs to suffer their third defeat on the trot .The resounding victory has given Australia a berth in the finals as they rode on useful batting contributions from David Warner (68), Matthew Wade (56) and David Hussey (54) and some disciplined bowling on a sporting SCG track. The lackluster show by the Indians gave the Australians a bonus point which has now put them on top of the points table with 19 points followed by Sri Lanka who have 15 points. India remained static on 10 points.Although the Indians seem down and out, they still have a slender chance of sneaking into the finals if they can manage to beat Sri Lanka with a bonus point in their last league match and hope that the islanders lose to Australia in their last match with a big margin. In such a scenario, both India and Sri Lanka will be tied with 15 points and the net run rate will come into play.
