Australia has won the ODI series against India by winning the sixth game of the series at Guwahati. They easily beat the Indians in the match by six wickets with more than eight overs to spare to take an unassailable 4-2 lead in the series. 
Rather surprisingly, MS Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat first. His decision, on a moist looking track, was based on the fact that if the batsmen were able to see off the new ball for not more than a couple of wickets, then the Indians would be in a good position to bat out the fifty overs for a total of around 250 and hence have a good chance in the game. 
As it turned out, India lost two wickets in the very first over. Virender Sehwag hit a six off Mitchell Johnson and was bowled off the next ball, whereas Gautam Gambhir was gone for a duck. From 7/2, India lost three more wickets for the addition of only 20 runs, and slumped to 27/5 and were in deep trouble. Previous game’s century scorer, Sachin Tendulkar scored only ten, whereas Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina scored a six and a duck respectively. In fact, that is where the match almost ended for the Indians, as any recovery for them from there would have been marginal.
Dhoni was involved in the recovery process with Ravindra Jadeja as they added 48 runs for the sixth wicket but the captain was adjudged leg-before after that. The decision looked a little harsh as the ball seemed to be going away from the stumps. Harbhajan Singh then collected his second duck of the series, but Jadeja and Praveen Kumar, both scored half centuries to propel the Indian total to 170 all out in 48 overs. 
Bollinger, who had picked up two wickets in his first spell, came back to scalp three more and ended with 5/35 in the ten overs.
The Aussies needed to get 171 for the win, and they began rather well despite the early loss of Shaun Marsh. Shane Watson and Ricky Ponting added 51 for the second wicket, but when they lost two successive wickets for five runs, and the score read 90/3, the Indians looked to have an outside chance. Unfortunately for them, Cameron White and Michael Hussey almost saw the Aussies home with their half century partnership whereas Adam Voges came in and completed the last rites to score an unbeaten 23.
Bollinger’s 5/35 earned him the man of the match award.
