SYDNEY (AP) David Hussey scored an unbeaten 68 and Brad Haddin added 54 as Australia beat England by four wickets Sunday for its third consecutive win to start the seven-match limited-overs international series.
Australia reached 215-6 on the last ball of the 46th over, surpassing England's total of 214 all out from 48 overs at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
England, which won the toss and elected to bat, was led by Jonathon Trott's 84 not out. He was forced to bat conservatively with the tail in an attempt to stretch the innings after the top order had crumbled, leaving England at 130-6 in the 28th over.
Australian fast bowler Brett Lee took three wickets and was voted man of the match.
