India bowlers put in an all-round performance to seal a tense 13-run win in the third ODI against Australia in Canberra on Wednesday.

Australia had already won the series and both teams made changes to their line-ups.

India, who lost the first two matches at the Sydney Cricket Ground, made 302-5 with all-rounders Hardik Pandya (92) and Ravindra Jadeja (66) starring in a record 150-run partnership for the sixth wicket. The pair added 110 runs in the last 10 overs, which ultimately proved crucial.

In reply, India pacers Jasprit Bumrah (2-43), Shardul Thakur (3-51) were on target as the hosts were bowled out for 289 with three balls remaining.

However, when the explosive Glenn Maxwell was at the crease Australia were on track to reel in India's total.

But Bumrah got the crucial breakthrough bowling Maxwell with a trademark yorker for 59 off 38 balls studded with three fours and four sixes.

That left Australia 38 runs away from victory with three wickets and 35 balls left, but India claimed the remaining wickets to clinch victory.

Australia won the opening two matches in Sydney by 66 runs and 51 runs, but India emphatically ended their five-game ODI losing streak – their worst since January 2016 – to pull off an exciting victory ahead of Friday's first of three Twenty20 matches against the Australians in Canberra.

India's victory was made possible by an unbroken partnership between man-of-the-match Pandya and Jadeja to swing the momentum after Josh Hazlewood once again proved Kohli's nemesis.

Hazlewood again got the measure of the India master batsman, dismissing him for 63 to put the tourists under mid-innings pressure in the dead rubber.

Kohli's exit threw down the gauntlet to Pandya, who finished top-scorer with 92 off 76 balls with some late fireworks with Jadeja, adding 76 runs in the last five overs.

Kohli was out when a review instigated by wicketkeeper Alex Carey picked up a faint spike on 'Ultra-Edge' off Hazlewood which reversed the on-field decision.

It was Hazlewood's third dismissal of Kohli in the three-match series and a massive breakthrough for the Australians who had reduced India to 152-5 in the 32nd over.

Marnus Labuschagne, promoted to open the innings in David Warner's injury absence, played on T. Natarajan for seven bringing Steve Smith early to the crease after century-plus opening stands in the first two games.

India got the vital breakthrough in the 12th over dismissing Smith, coming off man-of-the-match centuries in the first two games, for just seven to an innocuous leg-side flick off Shardul Thakur.

Alex Carey was run out by Kohli for 38, ending a productive partnership with Maxwell.

Maxwell produced a prodigious reverse sweep for six off Yadav which covered 100m high into the stands in arguably the biggest hit of the season and then he brought up his half-century with another six of Natarajan.

Bumrah ended Maxwell's fireworks to India's great relief a yorker, bowling the Australian dangerman and leaving the home side tantalisingly close to victory before India held on for a tense win.
