Warner, Wade win it for Aussies

AN extraordinary switch-hit six from David Warner and a Matt Wade half century fired Australia to a 31-run victory over India in the first of two Twenty20 matches yesterday.

Australia's tally of 171 for four proved too tough a target for an India team hoping for a turnaround in fortunes after suffering a 0-4 hammering in the test series and the tourists managed just 140 for six in the rain-delayed contest.

Warner took his time to get started before taking off with 18 runs in the third over, including a remarkable six when, with the ball in the air, he switched from his normal left-handed stance to club it over the boundary right-handed. The test opener skied the ball to Suresh Raina at extra cover to depart for 25.
