Pandya shines as India clinch series: 3rd ODI (Indore)

Allrounder Hardik Pandya hit 78 off 72 balls as India beat Australia by five wickets to clinch the 5 match series 3-0.

Earlier, Aaron Finch's 125-ball 124 helped Australia post 292-6 after electing to bat. A late collapse slowed down the Australians as spinners Kuldeep and Chahal kept them in check.

Pandya' fifth-wicket stand with Manish Pandey (36 not out) helped the hosts chase down their 294-run target with 13 balls to spare. Openers Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane put together a 139-run stand to lay a solid foundation for the Indian chase.

India 294 for 5 (Pandya 78, Rohit 71, Rahane 70, Cummins 2-54) beat Australia 293 for 6 (Finch 124, Smith 63, Bumrah 2-52, Kuldeep 2-75) by five wickets.
