India who after winning the toss elected to bat, were 258 for 9 in 50 overs against Australia in the 2nd final of the CB series at Brisbane Cricket Ground on Tuesday.

Tendulkar's departure followed the wickets of Robin Uthappa (30), Gautam Gambhir (15) and Yuvraj Singh (38), with Clarke improving his return to 2 for 48.

The master batsman looked comfortable in reaching his half-century, backing up the stellar century which guided India to victory in game one on Sunday night.

The Indian openers, Sachin Tendulkar and Robin Uthappa have come out with a clear plan, which looks like don't lose ant early wickets. India had just one boundary in the first 8 overs. This is the same approach that they adopted in the first final.

India made one change from the XI which played in Sydney with S. Sreesanth replacing injured Ishant Sharma while Australia brought in Stuart Clark in place of Brad Hogg.
