Perth, Jan 12: Australia won by 5 wickets in first ODI at Perth and started their home series against India on a winning note.
Smith falls for 149 in the final over but James Faulkner finishes off the proceedings.
Though the home side lost two quick wickets early on but recovered well thanks to the monumental double century partnership between Smith and Bailey.
Rohit Sharma’s unbeaten 171 goes in vain.
Earlier, a superb unbeaten 171 from just 163 balls by opener Rohit Sharma helped India to an imposing 309 for 3 in the first one-day international against Australia on Tuesday.
Sharma and Virat Kohli, who made 91 from 97 deliveries, put on 207 runs for the second wicket on a placid WACA pitch against a largely toothless bowling attack.
After Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and chose to bat, India lost opener Shikhar Dhawan (9) in the sixth over when he top-edged an attempted pull from Josh Hazlewood straight to Mitchell Marsh at deep backward square leg.
However, that brought Kohli to the crease and signalled a long period of complete dominance over the Australian attack, which included debutants Joel Paris and Scott Boland, as he raced to the highest individual ODI score against Australia on Australian soil, eclipsing Viv Richards’ 153 not out for the West Indies in 1979.
