Khawaja century sees Australia win ODI series against India

(UTV|COLOMBO) – Australia beat India by 35 runs in the fifth one-day international in Delhi to complete their comeback from 2-0 down and win the five-match series 3-2.

Opener Usman Khawaja hit his second hundred in three matches to guide Australia to 272-9 from their 50 overs.

Rohit Sharma made 56 in reply but the Indian batsmen struggled, with leg-spinner Adam Zampa taking 3-46 and fast bowler Pat Cummins 2-38.

The hosts were bowled out for 237 as Australia claimed victory.

It is Australia’s first one-day series win since they beat Pakistan in 2016-17, and the first time India have lost a home series since 2015.
