The2015 Carlton Mid Triangular Series was aOne Day Internationalcricket tournament held in Australia. It was a tri-nation series between Australia, England and India.[1] Australia defeated England by 112 runs in the final to claim their 20thAustralian Tri-Series title.
Unlike previous Australian tri-nation ODI series, each team played the others only twice during the round-robin stage (instead of the typical four times), and the final was staged as a single match rather than as the best-of-three, in order to accommodate the2015 Cricket World Cup which immediately followed the series. In February 2015, during the Cricket World Cup, India's team directorRavi Shastri criticised the scheduling of the tri-series saying it was a "sheer waste of time and energy."[2]
