Connolly, Short fifties take Australia to series win over India

With this win, Australia is 2-0 up in the series with a game to go. While India managed to reach a solid 264/9 thanks to half-centuries from Rohit Sharma (73 in 96 balls, with seven fours and two sixes) and Shreyas Iyer (61 in 77 balls, with seven fours) and a valuable late 37-run stand between Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh, Short (74 in 78 balls, with four boundaries and two sixes) and Connolly (61 in 53 balls, with five fours and a six) kept the team afloat even as the wickets were lost. Owen's quickfire cameo of 36 in 23 balls (with two fours and three sixes) effectively killed the game for India.
