IND vs AUS, 1st ODI Highlights: KL Rahul hit 75 not out while Ravindra Jadeja scored unbeaten 45 as India chased down the target of 189 runs against Australia in 39.5 overs to win the first ODI by 5 wickets. The hosts suffered a top-order collapse in the paltry chase before Rahul and Jadeja took them through. Earlier, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj picked three wickets apiece as India bowled out the guests for 188 runs. Australia were 129 for 2 at one stage but they eventually failed to bank on a good start given by Mitchell Marsh, who scored 81 off 65 balls. India's stand-in captain Hardik Pandya had won the toss and opted to bowl first at the Wankhede Stadium. (SCORECARD)
Here are the Highlights of the 1st ODI match between India and Australia, straight from the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai:
India need only 8 runs to win the game and go 1-0 ahead in the three-match series. KL Rahul is unbeaten on 74 while Ravindra Jadeja is batting on 37 not out.
Hardik top-edges it to deep backward square leg. Big wicket for Australia as India were started to get back into this match. The game still up for grabs
India are still 144 runs away from victory. Australia have got off to a terrific start, but considering the target they have set for India, the match hangs in balance. For India, all depends on the duo of Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul. Once good partnership from here and they are through!
Shubman Gill is out! Mitchell Starc gets his third wicket in the game. It was a fuller delivery outside off stump, Gill went for a drive but edged the ball to Marnus Labuschagne at point. The fielder took a good catch jumping to his left. Gill departs for 20 runs.
While Mitchell Marsh scored 81 runs off 65 balls, the rest of the team scored only 97 runs. None of the batters after Marsh's wicket could take the responsibility to hold the fort for Australia. On the other hand, the Indian bowling unit beautifully cashed in on the opportunity once it opened the floodgates.
Mohammed Siraj gets the final wicket of Australia and that is the end of the guests' innings. What a shame this is! They were 129 for 2 at one stage, but they have been bundled out for 188 runs. Only 59 runs after that and Australia lost eight wickets. They will give it a thought, for sure!
AUS 188 (35.4)
1st ODI: Australia all out on 188 in 35.4 overs (M Marsh 81; M Shami 3/17, M Siraj 3/29) against India#INDvAUS#INDvsAUS
That is a really good catch from Shubman Gill at the first slip and Sean Abbott has to depart. Mohammed Siraj gets his second wicket of the game and Australia are nine down. This is a good comeback for India, but you need to blame Australia more for this turnaround.
Another one bites the dust! Glenn Maxwell is out at the score of 8. This is really poor batting from the Australian as his team needed him to play sensibly at this juncture of the game, but he decided to go for a big one. Maxwell failed to hit the ball from the middle of his bat and handed a catch to Hardik Pandya at short mid-wicket.
Mohammed Shami strikes again! It was a beautiful delivery from Shami. He bowled it around the good length area and the ball straightened a bit after pitching. Marcus Stoinis got an edge on it and Shubman Gill took a good catch at first slip.
Tonked into the stands! Slightly full from Shardul and Marsh picks it up straight through the line and clears the boundary. First six of the match and a 50-run stand between Marsh and Smith
