India had won the toss and elected to field first, and had high hopes of restricting the Australians and chasing down the score set by them.

Australia had lost 2 quick wickets and were 19 for 2, when Michael Clarke, the Australian captain, came on to join Matthew Wade at the crease. They had stitched together a 30-run partnership when MS Dhoni, the Indian captain, asked Rohit Sharma to come in and bowl the 15th over. Rohit came in and dismissed Clarke (10) on the fourth ball of his over when he holed out to Rahul Sharma in the field.

Rohit ended with figures of 2-0-17-1 as India lost the match by 65 runs by the D/L method.
