India 292 for 5 (Kohli 118, Raina 71*, Yuvraj 58) beat Australia 289 for 3 (Clarke 111*, White 89*, Hussey 69) by five wickets
The unbeaten 129-run stand between Michael Clarke and Cameron White was the highest fourth-wicket partnership for Australia against India.
This was Michael Clarke's fifth century in ODIs and second against India. He has remained unbeaten on four of these occasions
Cameron White hit six sixes during his knock of 89 which was the third highest by an Australian batsman against India. He scored his last 70 runs off just 24 balls
The 84 runs scored off the final five overs by Australia is the third-highest last five-over aggregate since 2000.
This was Australia's 20th score of over 250 in the first innings in India. They have won on 17 of the previous 19 occasions.
Mike Hussey (69 from 78 balls) was an able offsider for Clarke, showing the fluency he had hinted at towards the end of the Tests against India, before White (89 from 49 balls, six sixes) offered his considerable muscle as 84 runs were heaped from the final five overs.
