Australia crush India by 62 runs in CB Series :

Team India capitulated to 151 all out, giving Australia a 65-run win in the rain affected opening match of the Commonwealth Bank tri-series in Melbourne on Sunday.

Clint McKay took 4-20 as the visitors lost complete interest in the match after the rain break and never looked close to mounting a fightback. For India, Virat Kohli top scored with 31.

Chasing a huge target of 217 runs to win, India were bundled out for 151 in 29.4 overs. Mitchell Starc tormented India early on when he got the prized scalps of Sachin Tendulkar and Gautam Gambhir. Tendulkar faced six balls and scored two runs while Gambhir fell for five.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli added 51 runs for the third wicket to get India back on the track, but Clint McKay got rid of both the Indian batsmen to leave the world champions reeling.

Suresh Raina's problems against the short ball continued as he became Dan Christian's, the second Australian debutant in the game, first victim at ODI cricket when he spliced one to mid-on.

Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (29) and Ravindra Jadeja (19) looked to push things on, but they couldn't find the boundaries and it wasn't too long before both found themselves back in the hut.

McKay finished the game off and collected figures of four for 20 when Praveen Kumar holed out to Ryan Harris at long-on.

Earlier Australia rode on half-centuries from debutant Matthew Wade and David Hussey and a brilliant cameo from Michael Hussey as they posted 217 for five in their 32 overs.

After winning the toss and electing to field first, Australia were 35-2 when rain forced the players off the field after eleven overs and play was delayed for almost three hours. When play eventually resumed, India looked like they would take charge again when Michael Clarke chipped Rohit Sharma to deep midwicket when at 10, but Michael Hussey had other ideas.
