Australian batting didn't click, again. but their bowlers managed to defend the smallish total, again. Its was a bizarre match where Indian bowlers had done a wonderful job and none Australian batsmen except Michael Clarke & Brad Hogg Partnership which fetched 79 runs.
Indians couldn't chase the smallish total cause of some very bad shots from batters down the order!
