India 383/6 Australia 326/10
Faulkner raced to his maiden ODI hundred off just 57 balls
NEW DELHI:
James Faulkner kept Aussies hopes alive with some fiery shots against India as he added quick 115-run stand for the ninth wicket with Clint McKay against India in the series-deciding seventh ODI in Bangalore on Saturday.
Faulkner raced to his maiden ODI hundred off just 57 balls - fastest by an Australian batsman - as he hoick five sixes and eleven boundaries.
Chasing a massive 384-run target, Australia lost wickets at regular intervals.
Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Shane Watson, who was blazing all guns, to virtually end Australia's chance in the match. Watson smacked six sixes and two boundaries in his quick-fire 22-ball 49 and added rapid 67 runs with James Faulkner for the seventh wicket.
