Australia powers to ODI series win in India
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 09 - 11 - 2009

arm seamer Doug Bollinger grabbed five for 35 to set up Australia's six-wicket victory over India in the sixth one-dayer Sunday for an unassailable 4-2 lead in the seven-match series.
New ball bowler Bollinger dismissed Sachin Tendulkar (10) and Yuvraj Singh (6) off successive overs in his opening spell before claiming Mahendra Dhoni (24), Harbhajan Singh (zero) and Ravindra Jadeja for 57 to bowl out India for 170.

Michael Hussey (35 not out) put on 53 for the fourth wicket with Cameron White (25) and 29 with Adam Voges (23 not out) to guide the team to victory in 41.5 overs.

“It's probably one the best one-day series I have ever been involved in what with all the injuries and setbacks at the start of this tour,” Australia skipper Ponting told the prize-giving ceremony.
The last match will be played in Mumbai Wednesday.
