AUS beat IND by 10 wickets | India vs Australia, Highlights And Cricket Score 1st ODI Match - Commentary

Can India roar back in the second half with the likes of Bumrah, Shami and Kuldeep to bowl. Or will Australia take the lead in this 3-match ODI series with Warner, Smith and Labuschagne firing? Join us after the break to find out!

So in a pitch where 300-plus scores are chased regularly, India have a below-par total of 256 to defend. Australia will be the happier side heading into the break and should chase this down with dew also set to play a a part.

Starc starts by saying that it is a good effort by all the bowlers. Adds that it is a good moment for him as he is playing just his 2nd ODI in India. On the key to bowling well on this track, Starc says that the Australian bowlers for the most part bowled good lines and lengths and varied their pace at the right time. Mentions that India have some quality spinners and quality quicks as well so they have to be on their toes. Ends by saying they have to bat well to win this match.

What a resounding bowling performance from the Australians. Finch won the toss and opted to bowl and his bowlers backed their captain. All 5 bowlers were exceptional and had at least one wicket to heir name. The pacers had 7 wickets amongst themselves. Mitchell Starc was the star of the show with 3 wickets. Richardson and Cummins had two wickets each. The spinners were not just economical but also got very crucial wickets. The leg spin of Zampa got rid of Kohli while Agar got rid of Rahul. None of the bowlers went for more than 6 runs in an over on a pitch where bowlers have feared to bowl. Before we head into the break, the star of the show Mitchell Starc is caught down for a quick chat with Michael Slater.

After being put into bat, India got off to a horror start losing Rohit Sharma early. Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul then steadied the ship with a 121-run stand. The former started off slowly but grew into his stride. Rahul though lacked aggression but once he departed the procession started. From 134/1 the hosts found themselves wanting at 164/5. The big finish they were laying the foundation for never came. Pant and Jadeja then tried to give them that blockbuster finish and added a 49-run stand but the pair departed in quick succession. 250 looked difficult but fight from Shami and Kuldeep saw the scoreboard have some respectability and has taken the hosts to 255.

Superb bowling performance from the visitors. On a wicket which has historically been a bowler's nightmare, the Australian bowlers have come and given a masterclass at Wankhede. High-fives all around amongst the Aussies as they know they have won the first half of this game.

Alex Carey settles himself under it and takes a very good catch, keeping the ball between his chest and his gloves as he tumbles down. India end their innings on 255!

Pat Cummins is down for an interview. Says that the T20 World Cup will be a big challenge for him. Adds that he got a bit lucky in the Indian T20 League auction and that is another challenge for him. Further adds that his job as vice-captain is very easy with Aaron Finch as the skipper. Says that they are not too happy with their run in the ICC ODI World Cup in 2019, but is very happy with how things are right now. Mentions that having a clear game plan and disciplined bowling along with spin in the middle overs will be the key if they want to win against India.

AUSTRALIA Playing XI - David Warner, Aaron Finch (C), Marnus Labuschagne (ODI DEBUT), Steven Smith, Ashton Turner, Alex Carey (WK), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa.

Virat Kohli, the Indian skipper, says they wanted to bowl first as well because of the dew factor that comes into play in Mumbai. Adds that however they are up for the challenge to bat first as well and put runs on the board. Further says that he is pretty happy batting first as it is a challenge for them and they will try to step up. Talking about the Australian team, Virat says that they are one of the best opponents that have come here and posed a great challenge against them. Recollects the last time when the Australians came from 2-0 down to win the series 3-2 in India. Informs that Shivam Dube, Manish Pandey, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kedar Jadhav miss out on the playing XI.

Australian captain Aaron Finch, says that it is a good wicket and hopes the dew to come in and hence the decision. Tells they are feeling good and says the guys are very confident as they have played either Test or Big Bash. Finch says he is excited as he has all the pacers available. On his team, Finch informs that they are playing with two spinners. Adds D'Arcy Short, Handscomb and Hazlewood are the ones missing out.

TOSS - We are all in readiness for the flip of the coin. Indian skipper, Virat Kohli has the coin in hand. Up it goes, Australian skipper, Aaron Finch calls Tails and the coin comes down in the favour of the Aussies. AUSTRALIA OPT TO BOWL!

The Sri Lanka series is done and India now have a tougher assignment at home. Their first challenging series of 2020 sees them welcome 3-time World champions, Australia. The last time the tourists visited, they came here down and out but went back looking like their former self. Aaron Finch and co. will be looking to repeat the same and prove the world that they are the real deal. Virat Kohli, on the other hand, will be desperate to give it back to the Aussies and avenge for that series loss. A cracker of a contest awaits us in Mumbai. Who will take the lead in this small but dynamite of a series?
