Right then, India will certainly be the happier of the two sides and even though, at one stage, 220 looked like a possibility, they will take this total with both hands. As for Australia, they have an uphill task on a wicket that seemingly got tougher to bat as the ball got old and lost its hardness. Going hard in the Powerplay will put the Aussies in good stead for the rest of the chase.

Suryakumar Yadav is in for a chat. He says that Rohit batted really well and it was like a dream to watch him. Adds that they had a chat before the game on how to play on this wicket and the skipper showed them the way. Mentions that it is a good score and the wicket is a good one as well. He hopes that there is something in it for the bowlers as well and they are able to defend it.

On the other hand, Australia started just as they would have liked with Josh Hazlewood striking early. Despite getting that early and big scalp of Kohli, Australia were not able to build on it as Rohit Sharma put them to the sword. By getting rid of Rohit first and then Suryakumar Yadav, they enjoyed a quiet 3-over period, conceding just 16 runs in that phase. However, they could not finish strongly with the ball, conceding 34 runs in the last 3 overs.

Not quite the perfect finish to the innings for India, but they will be happy to have posted 205 on the board, the highest team score against Australia in Men's T20 World Cups. After being put into bat, India were rocked early with the departure of Virat Kohli. Unfazed by the loss of his opening partner, Rohit Sharma unleashed an onslaught and ensured a strong Powerplay for India. The Indian skipper notched his fifty off just 19 balls and while Rishabh Pant failed to kick on, Rohit continued to find boundaries with regularity. After Rohit's dismissal, Shivam Dube and Suryakumar Yadav got together in their quest to ensure that the Indian innings did not lose steam. Towards the end, Hardik Pandya chipped in with a quickfire cameo and Ravindra Jadeja played a useful hand too to get India past 200.
