Aussies secure impressive win

Australia gained a measure of revenge for their World Twenty20 semi-final loss to India by inflicting an 84-run defeat on the hosts in the second one-day international in Kochi.

Andrew Symonds and Brad Haddin each hit 87, while opener Matthew Hayden contributed 75 as the Aussies registered 306 for six from their 50 overs.

The Indian response never really got going as they lost wickets at regular intervals and were all out for 222 midway through the 48th over.

Brad Hogg finished with three for 40, while skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni top-scored with 58.

Australia go 1-0 up in the six-match series after Saturday's match in Bangalore was abandoned as a draw due to rain.
