However, Dhoni (40 off 23) and Kohli (72 not out off 38) then forged a crucial 100-run partnership, lifting India past the 150-run mark.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPat Cummins finally helped the visitors get rid of a dangerous looking Dhoni in the final over. However, it was too late as incoming batsman Dinesh Karthik and Kohli displayed some fireworks to propel India to a fighting 190\/4 in the allotted 20 overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFor Australia, Jason Behrendorff, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Cummins and D&#39; Arcy Short picked up a wicket each.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<strong>Brief scores:<\/strong> India 190\/4 (Virat Kohli 72 not out, KL Rahul 47; Jason Behrendorff 1\/17) vs Australia<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
