  IND vs AUS: 188 All-Out

  Australia was dismissed with 14.2 overs remaining! Excellent work by the Indian bowlers. As usual, Siraj got to work right away to get rid of Travis Head. As Mitchell Marsh and Steve Smith teamed up, they scored quickly while forming a half-ton partnership. The captain was struck by an innocuous Hardik delivery, but that didn't stop Marsh from scoring his 14th ODI fifty. After his half-century, he upped the ante and put the Indians under a lot of strain.

  However, after Marsh's departure, nothing looked the same for the Aussies. Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj took three wickets a piece while Ravindra Jadeja had two wickets to his name.

  Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav also contributed taking 1 wicket each and the Indian fielding did the rest of the work.
