Australia were too often a wicket or two short, with bat and ball, said captain Steve Smith after the four-wicket Champions Trophy semi-final defeat to India in Dubai.
While always in the game Australia were never in command of it, losing wickets at key times in their own innings, and not taking them at those stages during India's.
"We had our opportunities throughout to post something up above 300," said Smith. "We were probably just that one wicket down too many at a few stages throughout the innings.
