Indian bowlers are in a firing mood. They took 8 wickets and Australia is under 200 score. Ravindra Jadeja took 3 wickets and Jasprit Bumrah took 2 wickets. This pitch is good for spinners that's why Ravindra Jadeja took 3 wickets. Australia tries to touch 200 runs but at this time, they are struggling. I hope that at least, Australia touches the 200 score. Sad

R Jadeja 3 wickets
Kuldeep Yadav 2 wickets
R C Ashwin 1 wicket
In today's match, Indian spinners collected a total of six wickets and managed to bowl out Australia for less than 200 runs. No one could have predicted that Australia would perform so poorly at this venue today. Australia should have announced the squad with more spinners for today's match. India has already announced the squad with three top spinners and already the spinners have shown their own performance to bowl out Australia for under 200 runs. In today's match it is also easy to predict that India will undoubtedly win as a target of 200 runs is not too difficult at India's own venue.

India have already lost 3 wickets for 2 runs. Australia batted first and managed to score 199 runs in 49.3 overs. We all couldn't count this 199 runs by Australia as too many runs, we all predicted that Australia will be easily defeated by India in today's match. Whenever India took the field against Australia with a target of 200 runs, India lost three wickets early on. Right now India is under a lot of pressure and I think it will not be possible for India to overcome this pressure and meet the target of 200 runs. I have already predicted that since the ICC World Cup is being held on Indian soil, India will surely get off to a good start today by beating Australia in the first match. But in this situation I can't confirm India's victory. If India loses more wickets at this moment then India may be all out within 150 runs today.

India got off to a poor start but later settled the game, which saw them win by six wickets. If Australia could have maintained the same bowling line-up as Australia did in the beginning, it might have been difficult for India to win the match. But later on, Australia's bowling line performed poorly due to which India took advantage of that opportunity and put up a great batting performance to win the match. The number of runs scored by Australia in this match is very less against India, only 199 runs scored by Australia, which is not a very high score at all to put India under pressure. Initially it looked like it would be very difficult for India to score 200 runs today, but later when KL Rahul batted brilliantly it was certain that India would win today. While KL Rahul collected and organized 97 runs off 115 balls, he was unfortunately unable to reach the century spot. After winning today's match against Australia, India are fifth in the ICC points table, but if they go to the next match, they can definitely move up the points table.

India couldn't get off to a good start. 3 top order batsmen could not collect any runs. Despite having such an experienced top order they were unsuccessful today. Rohit Sharma, Iyer and Ishan Kishan are all very experienced batsmen. Even then they could not collect any runs.
Even after losing 3 batsmen from the top order, India were on a roll. Kohli is back in form. He played well. Formed a much needed partnership with Rahul. Able to support Rahul and Kohli well.

But I want to thank the Indian bowlers for India's victory in this match. Jadeja picked up three wickets for just 28 runs in 10 overs. Also Yadav's bowling was very good. Bumrah is back in form. This is good news for the Indian squad.
