Australia played amazingly like India team, so much power to beat Shali team by 209 runs, I think it is a big achievement for Australia team. Australia team's bowling and batsmen's game was very good. Just as India team's bowling line was weak, India's batting line was also bad. But Rohit Sharma batted badly in 1st inns but scored good runs in 2nd inns. India lost this match like this due to poor performance of their players. I did not expect India to lose to Australia by so many runs.

From India's part, the batting was somewhat OK. It was their bowling which resulted in the defeat. First and foremost, the decision to drop Ravichandran Ashwin was a big blunder. I understand that Shardul Thakur is a better allrounder, but given how Jadeja troubled the Australian batsmen, one more spinner in the squad would have been very helpful. Ashwin could have been included in the place of Umesh Yadav, or even in exchange for another batsman. The last time India won an ICC championship was back in 2013. The long wait continues....

I don't think so. The reason for India's defeat was the erratic performance of their batsmen. The pitch was not bowling-friendly. And so a very good performance was not expected from the bowlers. India scored a total of 530 runs in their two innings. Australia on the other hand collected 469 runs in their first innings. If the batsmen of India can bat well it would not be difficult to win this match. Although India's batting line-up is very experienced, their performance in this match left the fans very disappointed.
