However, Marsh's departure was followed by a commendable 69-run second-wicket stand between David Warner and Steve Smith.

Mitchell Starc did all he could to get Australia to a respectable total, scoring 28 runs. However, it was good enough only to get the Aussies' total to 199.

Australia's start with the ball was better than India's. In the first over, Mitchell Starc sent Ishan Kishan packing.

At 2/3, odds were stacked against India, before KL Rahul and Virat Kohli stitched a match-winning 165-run fourth-wicket stand.
