Watson scripts Australian win

SHANE Watson made a triumphant return by captaining Australia to an emphatic 87-run victory over India in Sydney yesterday and ensuring the hosts a place in the final of the one-day international Tri-series.

Watson, who last played for his country last November before being sidelined by injury, stood in for injured skipper Michael Clarke and took two wickets for nine runs as his team bowled out India for 165 in reply to Australia's 252-9.

India now needs a bonus-point victory over Sri Lanka tomorrow and must rely on Australia beating the Lankans to have any hope of making the final.
