The 2015 Carlton Mid Triangular Series was a One Day International cricket 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 20th Australian 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 the 2015 Cricket World Cup which immediately followed the series. In February 2015, during the Cricket World Cup, India's team director Ravi Shastri criticised the scheduling of the tri-series saying it was a "sheer waste of time and energy."[2]
