Re: 4th ODI: Australia v India at Canberra, Jan 20, 2016
In the end Maxwell again slaughtered the Indian bowlers.
5.55pm Australia will be pleased with that performance. The openers set the tone from the start with a brisk stand. Warner, coming back after the birth of his second child, made a really good 93. Aaron Finch though carried on to make a ton. The innings stalled temporarily with his dismissal but Steven Smith and Glenn Maxwell played enterprising cameos to lift Australia to 348*. *
Re: 4th ODI: Australia v India at Canberra, Jan 20, 2016
at one point, Aussies looked like scoring 400+ runs but late quick wickets by Indians restrained them...a cameo by Maxwell help them to reach 348. India needs 349 at almost 7 runs an over. Indian batsmen need to be calm and target to score at least one boundary in every over on the average if they have any chance of winning the 4th ODI.

Match seems to be fix
Australia 348/8 (50.0 ov)
India 278/4 (39.1 ov)
India require another 71 runs with 6 wickets and 10.5 overs remaining
39.1
Richardson to Kohli, OUT, Kohli finds the fielder. What is happening here? A nothing delivery from Richardson, fullish on leg. Kohli comes down the track and lobs a catch to mid-off. Just spooned up. Looked like a checked drive. Big big wicket. But, that has been a truly special innings from Kohli.
**V Kohli c Smith b Richardson 106 (92b 11x4 1x6) SR: 115.21
** 37.6
Hastings to Dhoni, OUT, Dhoni goes now. The crowd goes wild. Legcutter outside off, Dhoni comes down to try and manufacture a shot. He pokes at it and gets a thin outside edge which is gratefully accepted by Wade. Australia not out of it, just yet. MS Dhoni c †Wade b Hastings 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Seven in the circle with a slip in place
37.5
Hastings to Dhoni, no run, back of a length, coming back in. Dhoni inside-halves down the pitch
37.4
Hastings to Dhoni, no run, full and wide, inside the tramline. Left alone
MS Dhoni
37.3
Hastings to S Dhawan, OUT, the misfield seems to have done Australia a favour. Can that change things? Or is too little too late? Dhawan goes. End of a scintillating knock from Dhawan. A smashing 126. A slower delivery outside off and Dhawan goes for the cut but cannot keep it down as backward point takes it. S Dhawan c Bailey b Hastings 126 (113b 14x4 2x6) SR: 111.50

Yes. Maxwell slaughter the bowling. Could have been 18 runs last over. But brilliant catch by Pandey in last ball.
