India's bowling woes continued in the very next match of the same series. Having already lost the series, the hapless Indian bowling-attack conceded 348 runs in the 4th ODI. Chasing down a target close to 350 is never an easy task but the Indian batsmen had other ideas.

After giving his team a brisk start, Rohit Sharma got out after playing a cameo of 41 runs off just 25 balls. Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli continued the good work as both the players reached their personal landmarks of 100 runs.

India was cruising at one stage after being at 277 for 1 in the 38th over. However, a dramatic collapse resulted in India losing Dhawan, Kohli and Dhoni for just one run and from being 277 for 1, India went to 278 for 4.

The rest of the Indian batting fell like a house of cards and India got all out for 323 runs and slumped to an embarrassing defeat.
