India made no changes to their playing eleven.
Australia made just one change to the (Dani)eleven
that last played the Indians – Christian made way for Marcus Stoinis.
On winning the toss, David Warner, Australia’s
skipper, inserted the hosts.
The first Powerplay of India’s innings – which was the
mandatory Powerplay – was between the first and the sixth over. They scored 38,
and lost four wickets.
Rohit, who faced four balls, scored eight. His runs
came by way of boundaries. Four balls into the (Shar)match, he was trapped leg
before wicket by Jason Behrendorff, who broke the eight-run stand.
The second-wicket pair didn’t get off the mark. Virat
Kohli, India’s skipper, faced a couple of balls, failing to open his account. A
couple of balls later, he was caught by Behrendorff off his own bowling.
Although his innings included a boundary, Manish
Pandey had no reason to be in seventh heaven – he scored six. Eight balls
later, he was caught by Tim Paine. Behrendorff broke the eight-run stand.
Shikhar Dhawan, who faced half-a-dozen balls, scored a
couple. Thirteen balls into the match, he was caught by Warner. Behrendorff
broke the 11-run stand.
India scored 50 off 8.1 overs (49 balls). Australia
had conceded four extras at that point.

boundaries and a six, scored 27. Eight balls later, Zampa was in seventh
heaven.

just a run. Nine balls later, he was caught by Henriques. Nathan Coulter-Nile
broke the three-run stand.
India scored 100 off 16.5 overs (102 balls). The number
of extras they had conceded at that point gave Australia no reason to be in
seventh heaven.
Hardik Pandya, whose 23-ball innings included a six,
scored 25. Twenty-nine balls after Kumar’s dismissal, he was caught by the
substitute, Christian. Stoinis broke the 33-run stand.
The ninth-wicket pair put on a dozen. Although his
nine-ball innings included a boundary, Jasprit Bumrah had no reason to be in
seventh heaven – a dozen balls later, Paine ran him out.
Kuldeep Yadav, whose 19-ball innings included a
boundary, scored 16. Three balls later, he was caught by Paine. Andrew Tye
broke the run-a-ball stand.

three. He was unbeaten.
