Australia began the second ODI in the same manner as the first game,
with Aaron Finch and Philip Hughes preparing a solid foundation. The duo
added 74 runs in 15.2 overs
Finch was run out by Raina for a brisk 53-ball 50 - his third successive
fifty on this tour - that included seven fours and a six
Hughes played steadily early on, but accelerated in the company of Shane Watson, as the pair attacked India's spinners
Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan laid the perfect platform for the chase as the opening partnership contributed 176 runs
Rohit held the innings together as Dhawan and Kohli exploded around him,
but after reaching his third ODI century, he cut loose as well, ending
up unbeaten on 141 off 123 balls, with 17 fours and four sixes
Dhawan made the most of his chances, striking 14 fours as the chase gained momentum
