Australia has always been a happy hunting ground for the bowlers in the history of cricket. With the kind of pace and bounce that the wicket offers in Australia, the fast bowlers often take maximum benefit out of it. Batsmen have had their moments of glory down under but very rarely have they clicked as a unit in tough Australian conditions. While 300 is often a reasonable target in most parts of the world, it gets a little tricky in Australia. Run chases have always been a tough task. Here are the top 5 successful run chases in ODIs in Australia.

<strong>5. 309/3 by Australia Vs India at Brisbane (2016)</strong>

It was the occasion of the 2nd ODI of the bilateral series between India and Australia at the Gabba, Brisbane. The match kicked off India in style as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli put up gutsy partnership to give India a good start. Kohli was run out for 59 but Rohit continued his good form and struck his 2nd consecutive ton. He was unlucky to be dismissed on 124 when a straight drive from Rahane tickled off from Faulkner&#8217;s hand to hit the stumps. Rahane scored a vital knock of 89 off 80 balls to take India to 308/8 in 50 overs. The Aussie run chase struggled a bit but the openers put on 145 for the first wicket. Finch and Shaun Marsh made 71 each before being dismissed. Yet again it was the partnership between Bailey and Steve Smith that almost took Australia over the line. Smith was cleaned up by Umesh Yadav for 46. Maxwell joined Bailey to take the home side to a victory with an over to spare. Bailey remained unbeaten on 76 that came off 58 balls.

Bailey scored 112 off 120 balls while Smith continued his good form against India by scoring 149 off 135 balls.

In one of the biggest dramatic turnarounds and one of the best run chases, India chased down 320 set by Sri Lanka at Hobart in 2012. India needed to chase the target in 40 overs in order to stay alive in the race to finals. The Indian team, kudos to excellent stroke making by Virat Kohli, chased it in 36.4 overs. Coming in to bat at number 4, Kohli hammered the Lankan bowling attack to score 133 of 86 balls with 16 fours and 2 sixes. A phenomenal hitting performance by the young Indian batsman saw Malinga, the most experienced bowler of the side, struggle. He hit Malinga for 24 runs in one over during the innings. He was supported by Gambhir’s 63. Earlier, it was centuries from Dilshan (160) and Sangakkara (105) that saw Sri Lanka post 320/4 in their 50 overs.

India&#8217;s tour down under in early 2016 was marked by a string of 4 defeats despite scoring in the vicinity of 300 in each game. Trailing 4-0 in the 5-match series, India stepped in to the 5th match to play for pride. As the trend of the series had been, Australia put on a mammoth 330/7 in their 50 overs. David Warner&#8217;s 113 ball 122 and a maiden ton by Mitchell Marsh (102*) saw Australia post a dominating total. India, in reply, had a flying start as Shikhar Dhawan scored a quick 56 ball 78 and Rohit Sharma was unlucky to be dismissed for a patient 99. But it was gritty knock by young Manish Pandey, playing his 4th ODI, that saw India cruise along. He scored an unbeaten 104 off 81 balls and was supported by Dhoni (34) in the end. India needed 13 to win off the last over, and skipper Dhoni bludgeoned one down the ground to make things easy for the visitors but was dismissed on the last ball. Pandey hit a cheeky boundary to bring his hundred and later hit the winning runs as India registered the highest successful run chase against Australia in Australia.

<strong>1. 334/8 by Australia Vs England at Sydney (2011)<br></strong>

It was some late hitting by Morgan and Ian Bell that saw England post a total of 333/6 in their 50 overs. Australian run chase began with everyone contributing to the score. There weren’t any hundreds score, yet Australia emerged top of the run chase. Watson started with a brisk 51 off 34. Calum Ferguson chipped in with 46 and Mitchell Johnson scored 57.
