India crush Australia by 243 runs in ICC Champions Trophy warm-up

By , Football League Editor
Australia only manage 65 runs as India trounce them by 243 runs in a warm-up match for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy.

Australia were bowled out for 65 in a crushing defeat at the hands of India in an ICC Champions Trophy warm-up match in Cardiff this afternoon.

India won the toss and elected to bat, slumping to 55-5 before Dinesh Karthik (146*) and MS Dhoni (91) guided them to 308-6 from their 50 overs.

Australia's reply never got going and Umesh Yadav tore through the top order, finishing with figures of 5-18.

India open the Champions Trophy this Thursday against South Africa, again in Cardiff, while Australia's first match is against hosts England at Edgbaston on Saturday.
