Australia built the 230 target to India of 3rd OneDay

Australia won the toss today Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, Delhi and elect to bat first, they are set the target to India 230 of 50 Overs.

Ricky Ponting and Shane Watson played with admirable patience and skill on a slow, low track to push Australia to 101 for 1 at the half-way mark in the third ODI in Delhi. India came back with the wicket of Watson but Michael Hussey joined Ponting and ensured there wouldn't be any further damage.

"A total of 220 should be a good score on this pitch," Ponting said after winning an important toss and Australia's approach reflected his mindset. Ponting, who opened only for the second time in his career in Tim Paine's absence, and Watson didn't try anything fancy on the sluggish track.
