Australian bowlers bowled very well. Lyon and Boland's bowling in particular was excellent. But my expectations from the Indian batsmen in this match were much higher. Because a few days ago they performed in IPL. After the IPL is over, the players are usually in a good mood. But every Indian batsman played very badly in this match. Ajinkya Rahane was the only batsman who managed to bat slightly better in both innings. Besides, no other batsman on the team was able to bat well. But I would not say that the performance of the bowlers was too bad.

Most of the Indian fans were expecting better performance than this, but sadly things were gone in wrong way for the batting, and they lost this match badly which is surely not good thing for the fans because after having good record against Australia fans were expecting better performance and fighting end of this final but they all bundle out cheaply and give another final badly as well.
Yesterday when we have Kohli and Rahane at crease many were expecting better start of the day and specially good batting from Kohli, but Boland one over break many hearts and give Australia easy win after dominating throughout all five days in second inning bowlers were good, but batting were not good in both innings.

Kohli and Rahane batted well on day four. Their partnership was quite good. And so many like me had hoped that this partnership would last. Both the batsmen will perform well on the fifth day as well and India will go on to win. But this is not the case. From the start of the fifth day, we saw only the dominance of the Australian bowlers. Indian batsmen may not be able to score even 100 runs. They batted very badly. It was the first match after the end of IPL. No one expected such a bad performance from the Indian batsmen in this match. Team India cannot be considered favorite for the title in the upcoming ODI World Cup as well.
