Scorecard
It rained 723 runs at the Albury Oval as the Australian Institute of Sports prevailed by 19 runs against India Emerging Players and moved to the top of the table. Theo Doropoulos and Moises Henriques made merry with centuries to pilot Australia to what seemed an unassailable 371 for 5, but Suresh Raina's 115 gave them a scare before India were bowled out for 352. However, the result could've been different had they managed to bat till the end of the 50th over.
The run-fest began when Doropoulos and David Warner tore into the attack with an opening stand of 133, before Henriques joined Doropoulos to stitch the biggest stand of the match - 156. Doropoulos fell for 107 off 115 balls but the more dominant of the pair was Henriques who blazed to his ton in just 67 deliveries before eventually falling for 124 off 83. S Badrinath was left to rue his decision at the toss and at the interval, the Indians were up against it.
India's charge was led by Raina, who after a rich haul of runs in the Asia Cup, ripped into the academy attack and matched Henriques' effort, reaching his ton in 65 balls. Badrinath, following a dip in returns in the two previous games, found his touch and played the supporting role to Raina. They added 131 for the third wicket before Raina fell. It was a crucial breakthrough as the Indians failed to build more partnerships. Badrinath missed his ton by five runs and his dismissal at 6 for 276 put Australia firmly in command. The tail gave the home side a few anxious moments before the chase folded up with 3.4 overs to spare. Doropoulos capped his hundred by taking 3 for 68 while Grant Sullivan took 3 for 62.
