Live Cricket Score of India vs Australia, 5th ODI at Sydney - Live Blog

With four consecutive losses, India have had a dismal tour so far. Australia will be gunning for a whitewash, and their 19th consecutive win at home. India's batting will be a lesser cause of concern for Dhoni but the bowling department has been a huge let down. So much so that Dhoni has resigned to the theory that his batsmen will have to compensate for the weaknesses on the other front.

Australia are missing quite a few of their first choice bowlers but the others have stepped up wonderfully well on pitches that have stacked the odds completely against them. Sydney will play host to the final ODI and a bit of rain will be a cause of concern. The Duckworth-Lewis charts will be kept ready right from the outset.
