Chasing 241 for victory, the hosts were less dominating but conscious of the Duckworth-Lewis requirement as they scored 198 for 5 in 40 overs before fading light forced an early end to the game.

India, needing a score of 183 for 5 in 40 overs under the D/L method, were well past the mark and thus declared the winners by 16 runs to take a comfortable 3-0 lead in the seven-match series.
