SYDNEY (AP) Australia captain Shane Watson struck the second-highest Twenty20 international score ever but his 124 not out went in vain as a combined batting effort helped India score a thrilling last-ball victory to complete a 3-0 whitewash on Sunday.
Opener Rohit Sharma (52), Virat Kohli (50) and Suresh Raina (49 not out) helped India reach 200-3 in reply to Australia's 197-5.
Watson, who led after first-choice captain Aaron Finch was ruled out due to a hamstring injury, smashed six sixes and 10 fours off 71 deliveries.
Finch holds the record for the highest individual T20 score of 156, which he got against England at Southampton in 2013.
