Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul continued their fine form and had 121 runs partnership. This partnership has been the backbone of the scoreline.

Australian Bowlers did a wonderful job by restricting India to a modest total. Each bowler had a wicket to his name.
Mitchell Starc impressed with the ball, he took 3 wickets. Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, and Shardul Thakur fell victim to him.
Pat Cummins and Kane Richardson scalped two wickets each. Adam
Zampa and Ashton Agar took one wicket apiece.
Australia is yet to bat, Indian bowlers have to perform well to defend the average total.
