Melbourne, February 10:: India relied on an outstanding display by their pacemen to script a hard-fought five-wicket win over world champions Australia in a low-scoring tri-series cricket one-dayer.

The lanky Ishant Sharma (4/38) produced a devastating spell of seam bowling and was well supported by fellow seamers S Sreesanth (3/31) and Irfan Pathan (2/26) to bundle out the mighty Australians for a paltry 159 in 43.1 overs.

The Indians then overcame some anxious moments before overhauling the home team's target with 25 balls to spare to record their first win the tri-series after their first two games were abandoned because of rain.

Sachin Tendulkar (44), young Rohit Sharma (39 not out), Gautam Gambhir (20) and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (17 not out) were the notable contributors for India in the low-scoring match on a difficult track at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

A wide from part-timer Andrew Symonds brought the winning moment for India who also recorded their first ODI win at the MCG after a long gap of 22 years.

The victory has boosted India to the top of the points table with 8 points from three matches while the Australians were just one point behind them on the table from three games.

Sri Lanka were in the third position with just two points from two matches.

The Indians will now travel to Canberra to play their next match against Sri Lanka at the Manuka Oval on Tuesday.
