Scorecard

Australia captain Ricky Ponting won the toss and elected to bat in the sixth one-day international against India on Sunday.

In-form Australian opener Matthew Hayden missed the match after injuring his hip in the last game in Baroda.

Brad Haddin, who scored fifties in both matches he has played in the series, replaced Hayden in the only change made by Australian.

India, still hoping to share the series, also made one change, bringing back Shanthakumaran Sreesanth for left-armer Rudra Pratap Singh.

Teams:

India: Mahendra Dhoni (captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, Robin Uthappa, Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Murali Kartik, Zaheer Khan, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth.

Australia: Ricky Ponting (captain), Adam Gilchrist, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Brad Hodge, James Hopes, Brett Lee, Brad Hogg, Nathan Bracken, Mitchell Johnson, Brad Haddin.
