Scorecard |

The decider will take place on Sunday at 11 am.
Only two of England's bowlers had taken six in an one-off game.
An impressive England bowling performance was capped by a fine display from Topley, who joined them with a fine display with the new ball.
It still looked below par despite the efforts of Moeen.
Topley and Willey started India's chase with maidens. The 28-year-old quick pinned his opponent for a duck in the second over.
The former captain's wait for an international century in any format goes on as Willey was rewarded with the key wickets of Kohli who pushed at a wide ball and nicked through to Buttler.
Topley's mid-innings effort was just as impressive as his late game return.
Topley removed Suryakumar from the third T20 after he hit a century from 55 balls.
He removed Mohammed Shami with a slower ball and then saw off the last two with ease.
Topley considered quitting cricket after having stressFractures. This was a great reward for perseverance.
The defeat in the first one-dayer was the result of two losses in the Twenty20 series.
There were four ducks in the top five. This time, against a similarly impressive new-ball spell, all but one of them reached double figures but when each fell in the first 25 overs, a small total was possible.
Bairstow was the only one of the top order who didn't score, he was the only one who played the same shot and the only one who was trapped in front.
After Tuesday's loss, Buttler called for the ability to score and luck.
The batter from Lancashire pulled to deep square leg for 33 after Moeen put on 46.
The fortune arrived next.
Willey top-edged to fine leg but Prasidh Krishna spilled a simple catch on the fine leg.
That allowed a sensible stand of 62 to guide England past 200.
It kept England in the game with a total that wasn't great.
It took a Topley-inspired performance to level the series.
It was a terrific team performance to bounce back from the previous day and I'm just happy that I played my part.
It makes it all worth it. Three years ago, it was over that stand where I had surgery.
Everyone dreams of playing for England. I want to pull the shirt on as many times as possible. It is a privilege to play in a World Cup or a series against someone else.
At the weekend, it is a big game. I have to prepare for that and wrap up the series before we deal with anything else.
Buttler said he was happy to get the victory. Over the years, the team has done some great things.
We would like to continue that. We feel proud of our performance. We have shown great character despite not being at our best recently.
