In the first innings of the match, spinners wreaked havoc scalping 6 Australian wickets with Jadeja taking 3 wickets for just 28 runs. Australia losing six wickets to spinners was their joint-most in an ODI World Cup match. They went from 110/2 to 199 all out.
At a critical juncture in the match, with over 13 overs left, the outlook appeared grim for the team. However, their lower-order batsmen exhibited tremendous resilience, pushing the final score to a commendable 199. Notably, Mitchell Starc contributed a valuable 28 runs, a tally that could yet prove pivotal in the outcome of the match.
Let's not forget to applaud India's exceptional fielding performance. It all began with Virat Kohli's sensational catch at slip, setting the tone for the team's intent and boundless energy on the field. Throughout the match, India's ground fielding reached extraordinary heights, consistently making life challenging for the Australian batsmen. This outstanding fielding display not only frustrated the Aussies but also created a favourable environment for the spinners to apply relentless pressure. Siraj, Hardik and Bumrah cleaned up tail-enders.
In the second innings, adversity struck early as Kishan, Rohit, and Iyer all fell for a duck, leaving Australia firmly in control with the scoreboard displaying a daunting 2/3. However, it was this pivotal moment that witnessed the emergence of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul as the heroes of the day. Their wealth of experience and unyielding resolve allowed them to weather the storm, forging an exceptional partnership worth 165 runs.
Kohli, initially fortunate when Mitchell Marsh dropped him at 12 off Josh Hazlewood's delivery, made the most of the lifeline. The duo exhibited impeccable synergy throughout their partnership, deftly negotiating the early onslaught from the pacers and defying the wiles of Glenn Maxwell. Their baton passing kept the scoreboard ticking and, in the process, both reached their respective half-centuries, etching their names into the record books with the highest partnership for India against Australia in World Cup history.
