After beating India in the first ODI at the same venue, Australia sealed a 51-run win to clinch the series as Steve Smith scored his second consecutive century.
Smith was supported by half-centuries from openers David Warner and Aaron Finch as well as Marnus Labuschagne and Maxwell as Australia posted a daunting total of 389/4.
India in return, only managed to score 338/9. Captain Virat Kohli top scored for the visitors with an 87-ball 89.
Openers Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan put on a 58-run partnership before both departed in quick succession.
Kohli and Shreyas Iyer then put on a 93-run stand before Moises Henriques dismissed the latter.
Kohli was then joined by KL Rahul, and the two put on 72 runs for the fourth wicket before the Indian captain found the midwicket fielder with a pull shot, falling 11 short of a century.
After KL Rahul was dismissed, India lost their hopes of completing the chase and fell to a 51-run defeat
Pat Cummins finished as Australia's best bowler, with figures of 3-67.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
