India's ninth consecutive ODI win also ensured they are now the top ranked team both in Tests and the one-day format. Australia captain Steve Smith won the toss for the first time in the series and opted to bat first. Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav dismissed both to trigger a collapse as Australia lost five wickets for 51 runs to fall short of the 300-mark. India soon suffered a mini-collapse of their own, losing four wickets, including their openers and skipper Virat Kohli, for 67 runs. Batting at number four, Pandya hit four sixes and five boundaries in his aggressive knock to take India close to victory.
