- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Vijay gets the leading edge and is caught, got to him quick, short of a good length outside off and he tried to turn the face and gifted a simple catch to White at cover, it was angling away and he chose the wrong shot 10/12.6 gone! Gambhir mistimes again and finds the fielder, 146 kmph and it was quicker than he might have liked, shaped up to play the pull, gets it high on the bat and it lobs up straight towards midwicket 12/23.4 India in trouble now, another short delivery and he tries to pull that over square leg, the Australians are getting good bounce and are putting in the effort, got the top edge again and both Clarke, running in from cover, and the Warner called for it, they collided but Clarke still held on close to the stumps 17/34.6 bowled'im! Aiming for the blockhole and gets it right, sliding on leg stump, Yuvraj tries to work it through the leg side, misses, it clips the pads and brushes the off stump to leave India in further trouble 23/47.5 Dhoni holes out! Bowled flat, lands full on middle, Dhoni comes down the track and smacks it hard but doesn't get much elevation, sends it straight into the palms of David Hussey at long-on 37/58.6 well taken by Warner, Yusuf mistimed that one, was full outside off and it appeared he was trying to clear extra cover, ended up slicing it over point and Warner, running in from point, dived forward and grabbed an excellent low catch, Australia are all over India 42/610.3 run-out, slaps it to mid-on and takes off for a single, David Hussey picks and hurls an accurate throw at the non-striker's end, Jadeja is well short, what a terrible game he's had 50/714.3 gone this time, another flatbat shot to a short ball, hits low on the bat, not enough power, the ball swirls to mid-off where David Hussey snaffles it 97/817.2 Zaheer's gone this time, short ball does the job, looks for a cross-batted hit, only top-edges it towards mid-off 133/917.4 no he can't, a yorker that was much too good for him crashes into the base of middle stump, Australia win by 49 runs, a massive margin in Twenty20s, no doubting who the favourites for the title are now 135/10Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL135 all out (17.4 Overs, RR: 7.64)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Murali Vijay, 2.1 ov), 2-12 (Gautam Gambhir, 2.6 ov), 3-17 (Suresh Raina, 3.4 ov), 4-23 (Yuvraj Singh, 4.6 ov), 5-37 (MS Dhoni, 7.5 ov), 6-42 (Yusuf Pathan, 8.6 ov), 7-50 (Ravindra Jadeja, 10.3 ov), 8-97 (Harbhajan Singh, 14.3 ov), 9-133 (Zaheer Khan, 17.2 ov), 10-135 (Ashish Nehra, 17.4 ov)

Match Coverage
All Match NewsAustralia's aggression will take some stopping
Australia's strength has always been to hit the opposition hard. They are now showing they can replicate that success in Twenty20
Australia's short-pitched strategy
Australia have played each of their three games so far against teams from the subcontinent, and the short ball has served them well against batsmen who don't particularly like these deliveries
Pulling isn't our natural strength - Dhoni
MS Dhoni has defended his top order after they once again fell apart in the face of a hostile short-pitched attack
Awesome Australia outclass India
The match started with a maiden. Silence before a storm that absolutely blew India out of its way
