The Baroda all-rounder top scored for the hosts with 78 runs off 72 deliveries, hitting five boundaries and four sixes along the way.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I thought we set it up beautifully with the bat to launch at the back end, but I thought the Indian bowlers executed really well and we executed poorly. We couldn&#39;t get the boundaries. A total in excess of 330 might have been a different result, but credit to India. Hardik was magnificent and Rohit and Jinks (Rahane) were fabulous too,&quot; Smith said.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe 28-year-old also praised Australia&#39;s opening batsman Aaron Finch for his 124-run knock which helped the visitors post 293\/6 in 50 overs after electing to bat first.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Finch, who missed the first two ODIs, registered his eighth ODI century and shared a 154-run second-wicket partnership with Smith (63 off 71 balls).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I thought Finchy was magnificent, it was a great hundred. The pitch was pretty much the same for both teams until 35 overs, it did slow down towards the end. We weren&#39;t good enough to get the boundaries and get the score we needed,&quot; Smith said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAustralia, who have lost the ODI series 0-3, will take on India in the fourth match at Bengaluru on September 28.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
