India Beat Australia to win the First final of the Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series.

India defeated Australia in the first final of the tri-series, which gave India a 1-0 Lead in the Best of the three Finals being played in Australia.

Australia, who recorded a modest 238 – thanks to some incisive spells by the India bowlers and imaginative field placements by Skipper MS Dhoni – had entertained hopes of a win when they got Yuvraj, with India’s Score reading 87-3. They tried to choke the flow of runs with some tight bowling and intense fielding, but the two Mumbaikars put the issue beyond Ricky Pointing and Co’s reach with a mesmerizing batting show. A rare lapse in concentration lead to Rohit’s fall but Tendulkar ensured he stayed till the end.

Earlier, Matthew Hayden launched a daring counter-attack after Dhoni’s surprising, but effective moves. The Indian Skipper handed the new ball to Praveen Kumar, the hero of India’s win over Sri-Lanka last week, and it worked wonders. Praveen got rid of the danger men Adam Gilchrist and Ponting to have the home side, backed by a raucous crowd, in trouble. The fall of Captain and Vice-Captain at the other end, however had a little effect on Big Mat, who wnet after the Indian Bowlers.
