India beats Australia by 5 wickets in the second ODI chasing the score of 290 .
Earlier Australia batted first and put up a score of 289/3 in 50 overs. Michael Clarked from Australia by remaining unbeaten throughout the innings at a score of 111 in139 bowls
( 4's 7, 6's 1). He was supported by Hussey and Cameron white, they made 69 and 89 respectively.
But all the efforts of Australian cricketers went in vain as Virat Kohli's fabulous 118 of 121 balls (4's 11, 6's1) made the way of 289 look simple as we didn't expect. In the absence of Sachin ,sehwag and gambhir it felt that India may not reach the target but Kohli,Yuvraj and Raina's marvellous batting made the target look so simple.
India after losing opening batsmen soon found Kohli and Yuvraj as its true warriors, Yuvi made an important 58 of 87(4's 5, 6's 0)
But Yuvi later misjudged a ball by Mc Kay and was bowled which made Raina to enter the ground neither he pardoned the bowlers, he went on in his style and remained not out till the end of innings, he scored 71 of 47 (4's 9, 6's 1) .
Well it was a great game to watch, Australia are on backfoot with 1-0 in the series and only one more match to go in Goa after this.
Suresh Raina was named as man of the match for his outstanding century when most needed for the team.
