Australia beat India by 65 runs in the first tri one-day series international at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. In a match reduced to 32 overs a side by rain, Australia scored 216 for five and dismissed India for 151 off 29.4 overs. Debutant and man-of-the-match Matthew Wade clubbed 67 off 69 balls and David Hussey an unbeaten 61 off 30 balls for Australia, who scored at 6.75 runs an over. But the tourists were always chasing the game after the dismissals of Sachin Tendulkar (2) and Gautam Gambhir (5) in the opening four overs. Virat Kohli topscored with 31 off 34 balls for India and the tourists last hope, skipper M.S. Dhoni, hit 29 off 38 balls before he was the second-last batsman out. Paceman Clint McKay was the best of the Australian bowlers with four for 20 off 4.4 overs. The next match in the series takes place in Perth on Wednesday between India and Sri Lanka. Match scores: Australia 216 for 5 (32 overs); India all out 151 (29.4 overs).
