Smith tormented India with his second blistering hundred in as many matches as Australia posted another huge target, reaching 389/4 off 50 overs. Smith followed up his 105 off 66 balls in Friday's first ODI victory with an equally dominant 104 off 64 balls as the Indians couldn't stem the runs on a slow-paced Sydney Cricket Ground pitch in searing conditions. Warner hit 83 off 77 balls, Finch 60 off 69, Marnus Labuschagne 70 off 60 and Glenn Maxwell bludgeoned a crowd-pleasing unbeaten 63 from 29 balls. Pat Cummins had Agarwal caught behind for 28 off 26 to leave India 60 for two and a sensational catch by Smith at mid-wicket ended Iyer's knock of 38, giving Moises Henriques a wicket.
