Australia’s streak of 26 straight One-day International wins came to an end on Sunday, fittingly against India, the team that started the streak.

The visitors completed a tricky chase of 265 – their highest-ever – in the last over, gaining some lost ground ahead of the upcoming day-night Test, after conceding the three-match series in their previous outing.
