Australia avoided a series whitewash in India after their top order fired together and Glenn Maxwell impressed with the ball to secure a comprehensive 66-run victory in the third and final one-day international in Rajkot on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The home side had clinched the series with wins in Mohali and Indore, and a third successive defeat could potentially have deflated Australia ahead of their World Cup opener against tournament hosts India on Oct. 8.<\/p>\n

Pat Cummins and his men did not let that happen, however, and racked up 352-7 with each of their top four batters smashing a half-century.<\/p>\n

Playing his first match of the series, Maxwell proved he could be a potent spin option at the World Cup as he claimed 4-40 to help bowl out India for 286 with two balls left in the game.<\/p>\n

Electing to bat, Australia\u2019s top order capitalised on a ground with a benign track and short boundary to lay the foundation for a big total.<\/p>\n

David Warner smashed his third half-century of the series as he combined in a rollicking 78-run opening stand with Mitchell Marsh(96).<\/p>\n

Warner fell for a belligerent 56 but Marsh added 137 runs with Steve Smith to consolidate Australia\u2019s position.<\/p>\n

Kuldeep Yadav denied Marsh his hundred and had the opener caught at cover.<\/p>\n

At 242-2 in the 32nd over, Australia looked to be cruising to a 400-plus total before the Indian bowlers dragged the hosts back into the contest.<\/p>\n

Mohammed Siraj trapped Smith lbw for 74 to trigger a mini-collapse but Australia still registered the highest total at the venue with Marnus Labuschagne contributing 72.<\/p>\n

Home captain Rohit Sharma (81), playing his first match of the series, led India\u2019s reply, smashing five sixes en route to a 31-ball fifty.<\/p>\n

He and Virat Kohli (56) kept India on course until Maxwell intervened.<\/p>\n

The off-spinner, playing his first international match since March, took a stunning return catch to dismiss Rohit and induced a top edge from Kohli to get rid of the former India captain.<\/p>\n

Maxwell went on to peg back Shreyas Iyer\u2019s (48) off-stump to effectively seal the match for Australia and Ravindra Jadeja\u2019s breezy 35 was in vain.<\/p>\n
