Australia clinched the ODI series 2-0 after holding off India in a tense finish. India put up a much-improved fight compared to the first game but were hurt by the early morning movement.
Gill fell early, Kohli bagged another duck, and Rohit battled through the tough phase before falling in the 70s to Starc. Iyer struck a fifty, while late contributions from Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh pushed India past 250.
