Australian opener Usman Khawaja was dismissed for mere 14 by fast-bowler Ashish Nehra in the third and final Twenty20 International (T20I) between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Sunday. Itwas a full length delivery that prompted Khawaja to come forward and go for a wild drive, but the slight movement from Nehra did the trick as the ball tokk a leading outside edge and only to travel behind into the safe hands of Dhoni, as Australia suffer their opening setback. Currently Australia are 24 for the loss of a wicket in three overs with opener Shane Watson on nine and Shaun Marsh on one, respectively. FULL SCORECARD: India vs Australia, 3rd T20I at Sydney
