    India had earlier posted 264/9 after being inserted to bat in testing morning conditions, with Rohit Sharma making 73, Shreyas Iyer hitting 61 and Axar Patel chipping in with 44. Though India lost momentum in the middle overs, a late 37-run stand between Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh pushed them past 260.

    In the chase, Short was at his composed best to make 74 off 78 balls, laced with four boundaries and two sixes, to make his career-best score in ODIs. All-rounder Connolly, batting with maturity beyond his years, brought up his maiden ODI fifty and held firm to hit an unbeaten 61 off 53 balls, laced with five fours and a six.
