Last 194 times when a team batting first in an ODI has scored over 300 runs, target has been chased down only 19 times.. today, India couldn't do it.

To complete the record - 17 times teams chasing over 300 target has reached 300 themselves yet lost the match. today, India made 299 chasing Australian target by 319.

The best pitch so far in the CB triseries 2008, Sydney spectacle was something to watch for cricket fans, but once Australia set such big target and India lost 3 wickets for just 2 runs in middle over - they were always behind in the game.. and finally lost it - but not without a fight though!!
