Photos: Calcutta action Quotes: Dravid unhappy

Australia maintained their dominance over India with a 37-run win in the one-day series final in Calcutta.

Ian Harvey raced through the Indian tail for figures of 4-21 as the home side were bowled out for 198.

India lost their last six wickets for 39 runs in seven overs after being set a relatively modest target.

Damien Martyn (61) and Michael Clarke (44 not out) guided Australia to 235-5 and Clarke also claimed two wickets with his left-arm spin.

It was Australia's seventh victory in their last eight one-day meetings with India, including last March's World Cup final.

The result was a huge disappointment for a 100,000 crowd at Eden Gardens, but India did not help their cause by dropping four catches during the Australian innings.

Rahul Dravid led the Indian team in the absence of local hero Sourav Ganguly, who failed a fitness test on a persistent groin problem, but it was opposite number Ricky Ponting who won the toss and chose to bat.

The dangerous Adam Gilchrist failed to make an impact as he was bowled for seven by a yorker from Ajit Agarkar.

And although Matthew Hayden (19) and Ponting (36) were the chief beneficiaries of fielding lapses, neither was able to play a major innings.

Australia were reined in by spinners Murali Kartik, Harbhajan Singh and Virender Sehwag, and it was left to Damien Martyn to keep the scoreboard ticking over in a disciplined innings of 61.

The acceleration came in the final 10 overs as Michael Clarke and Michael Bevan (40 not out) added 65 for the sixth wicket, despite Bevan needing the service of a runner.

India must have fancied their chances against an attack minus Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie and Brett Lee, who all missed the tour because of injuries.

But Nathan Bracken and Brett Williams proved more than adequate replacements, giving little or nothing away with the new ball.

Both earned a reward with Bracken taking a return catch to dismiss Sehwag for five and Williams bowling VVS Laxman for 22.

Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid set India on the right course by adding 63 in 11 overs before Tendulkar played down the wrong line to a ball from Andy Bichel and was bowled.

Yuvraj Singh did not last long, but the home side were still up with the required rate as Dravid found another able partner in Hemang Badani.

They took the total to 159-4 before Clarke made his second telling contribution to the Australian cause.

The closing overs made grim viewing for the Indian supporters

He lured Badani (30) into giving a catch to Andrew Symonds and his next over, the left-arm spinner bowled Dravid for 49.

Having gambled by playing five specialist bowlers, India were short of batting depth and Harvey's ability to vary his pace proved too much for the tail.

He dismissed Kartik and Zaheer Khan with with successive balls and although Harbhajan kept out the hat-trick ball, the last two wickets followed in short order.

Agarkar was left unbeaten on 26 when last man Aavishkar Salvi swung across the line and Harvey knocked the off stump out of the ground.
