Sunil smashed 163 not out off 72 deliveries with the help of 29 boundaries, while Farhan hit 53 off 35 balls before being retired hurt.

The opening pair put on an unbroken 199 runs together in 15 overs, which virtually took the game away from the Aussies.

Iqbal Jafar then scored a quick-fire 30 from 13 balls to take the home team to a comprehensive win.

Chasing a humongous total, Australia were bowled out for a meagre 144.

India skipper Ajay Kumar Reddy picked up two wickets by giving away only 11 runs in 3.3 overs.
