India 299-4 (49.2 Overs)
Dinesh Karthik 25(14)
MS Dhoni 55(54)
After Kohli was dismissed it felt that the target might still be too stiff. But Dhoni donned the responsibility and gave glimpses of the finisher the fans are used to watch. Couple of boundaries by Karthik here and there, helped as India squared the series 1-1.

A thumping victory in the Test series and the controversy at Koffee with Karan that followed, meant that India won’t have the services of KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya for the series downunder. India came very close but never too close to winning in the first ODI. Rohit Sharma’s century ended in vain as India lost the game by 34 runs.
