India (281/5) defeat Australia (276) by 5 wickets to win the 1st ODI and gain number one position in ICC's ODI Team Rankings

[kron]

Despite the stumping india would be foolish to select kl Rahul over ishan or a proper keeper as their WK.

 

[kron]

Is short a spinner who can bat? Why so low down the order? Thought he was a TO bat.

Australia have 6 bowling options plus Smith part time.

If Tim David plays for Inglis and starc for abbot
Plus hazelwood play then Australia would be complete.

India need siraj, prasidh, kuldeep axar? Perhaps sundar to be a complete team. Both teams look ominously strong.

Pakistan at full strength and Lanka will be the other 2 contenders.

 

[Devadwal]

Rain stop play

 

[jattafridi]

Cameron green do something why u playing so slow

 

[jattafridi]

I want atleast 277 good fighting total I think

 

[vprasanna83]

Superb bowling by India in the middle overs

 

[Ali T]

Play has restarted
Australia 183-4 in 38.3 overs

 

[Ali T]

Has the wicket been doing much for the fast bowlers? Has there been much turn?
Just started tuning in. Curious to see how the pitch holds up

 

[vprasanna83]

Ashwin was very good post the rain break . Flighting the ball and consistently beating the bat .

His first spell was to fast

 

[kron]

Superb bowling by India in the middle overs

Yes in 40 degree heat. Impressive. They should throw out ashwin and bring back sundar and axar. Will be a complete team once siraj is back.

No real weakness.

Slow low bouncy wicket. Pitch is flat. Very hot conditions. Pacers have done well. I dint really see too much help for spin. Occasional turn.

 

[Devadwal]

Run out

 

[kron]

Very very silly run out. Unnecessary.

 

[DJhant]

Hilarious wicket keeping

 

[jattafridi]

Bad performance Cameron green but it’s ok

 

[Ali T]

Comedy of errors !

 

[FearlessRoar]

The match has resumed after the rain delay in Mohali. Australia score read at 187/5 in 40 overs with Marcus Stoinis 0(0) and Josh Inglis 14(23) standing unbeaten at the crease. Earlier, Ravichandran Ashwin finally took his first wicket as he removed Marnus Labuschagne for 39. It was his first wicket in the ODI format since 2022. Cameron Green Run out on 31(52)

 

[PassionForPak]

Australia is running 5 allrounders.
Such batting and bowling depth

 

[FearlessRoar]

India bowlers are eye some more wickets, in order to get an upper hand in the game.

 

[jattafridi]

My boy stoinis will do it for Australia

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah is bowling well with in himself.

 

[Devadwal]

Stoinis is destroying thakur

 

[Devadwal]

Australia looking to score around 300 .this is slow pitch wo anything above 270 is winning score

 

[DJhant]

This Josh English reminds me of Aaron Finch

 

[SamNJ]

This Josh English reminds me of Aaron Finch

Only in height and built ?

 

[Devadwal]

Thakur single Handley losing the game for India

 

[Ahmed216]

Inglis six over extra cover off bumrah. Shot of the month. Looks like a good player

 

[Ahmed216]

Lovely balls to get rid of Smith and Marsh from Shami.

 

[vprasanna83]

Stoinis is a beast

 

[Devadwal]

Stoinis playing a Blinder .he has power game .

 

[vprasanna83]

Got him !! Ball by Shami

 

[Devadwal]

Shami clean bowled Stoinis

 

[Ahmed216]

Shami reaping rewards for bowling within the stumps with a magnificent seam position

 

[kron]

Shami looks way more dangerous when he bowls 136,-142. Below 136 he doesn't look as good.

 

[vprasanna83]

Mark Waugh on commentary : Pakistan need to be more aggressive up front of the innings . Anyone listening ?

 

[Devadwal]

Short is proper batsman which show Australia batting depth.

 

[DJhant]

Only in height and built ?

Even with helmet, his face looked similar too

 

[jattafridi]

Only hope inglis otherwise easy win for India

 

[Devadwal]

Lord thakur still has one over left .so Australia easily can score 290

 

[DJhant]

Lord thakur still has one over left .so Australia easily can score 290

He is the hope for Aussies. I heard Gill used to bowl in under 19 days, would he be given a chance

 

[vprasanna83]

Lord thakur still has one over left .so Australia easily can score 290

Wonder why the Indian team management love him so much

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah get big fish

 

[Mesozoic]

Won't mind 280 to chase on this wicket to be honest.

I'd open with Kishan and Gill. Gaikwad is not even in the squad so I don't see the point of giving him any game time.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Suryakumar Yadav sent in a backhand throw to run Cameron Green out.

 

[Devadwal]

Wonder why the Indian team management love him so much

Becouse he can tonk a few shots that's why they Play him .

 

[kron]

Lol bumrah 120. Interesting. He still looks dangerous at 120. More than thakur. It's all about release point and the bounce.

 

[jattafridi]

India will win I think

Good bowling performance india except Thakur

 

[FearlessRoar]

Marnus Labuschagne plays a reverse sweep but does not get the connection on it, the ball hits the pads of KL Rahul and goes on to hit the stumps.

 

[kron]

Even with helmet, his face looked similar too

Honestly I thought he looked like Brendan mcculum moreso than finch

 

[Devadwal]

Kishan is not gonna open as he is getting the role for middle over .but yes agree Rituraj should have not selected

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah is by far best death bowler in the world .

 

[kron]

Can anyone explain what type of player short is?

 

[Devadwal]

Play siraj ,bumrah and Shami together in world cup .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bowling his last over. He is still bowling at 142 kph. This is why Shami is a warrior. Even in Tests late in the day he would clock 140 plus.

 

[Devadwal]

Fifer for Shami

 

[vprasanna83]

Fivefer for Shami ! Superb

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shami strikes, Matthew Short 2(4) ct Suryakumar Yadav b Mohammad Shami, Australia 254/8 48.2

 

[Devadwal]

Now it's very hard to not Play Shami in world cup .

 

[kron]

Bowling his last over. He is still bowling at 142 kph. This is why Shami is a warrior. Even in Tests late in the day he would clock 140 plus.

Very very good bowler. Siraj is the top dog right now. But shami when he bowls 135 - 141 he looks a class bowler. As good as any in the modern era.

Impressed with Indian bowling unit. Probably up there with Australia and England.

 

[Devadwal]

Shami please take one more wickets as I don't trust lord thakur .

 

[Devadwal]

What a hit by Cummins.

 

[kron]

Now it's very hard to not Play Shami in world cup .

Surely it's siraj and bumrah. Maybe shami at 9. They would have to play sundar and axar for extended batting

Why do Indians think thakur is a good player to have? In tests he has performed well above expectations surprisingly I admit however in odi he has been very poor. Is it cause of his Supposed batting ability? I don't see that either.

Tail is a bit poor in batting but looks very strong overall as a team. Australia india and Pakistan are favourites. Australia and India are obviously better.

I believe Sri Lanka will make it over England. Sa bowling in spin looks poor.

Yes Tail is weak but we have out and out wicket-taking bowler who can go for kill

 

[kron]

Lol 0 for 70. Thakur single handedly cost Indians the game I feel

 

[Devadwal]

Thakur is getting phainti even from tailenders.

 

[Devadwal]

Australia all out .277 is Target which is good on this deck .

 

[dravidthewall]

On what basis thakur got selected for worldcup?

 

[dravidthewall]

It will be dumb decesion if thakur get chance ahead of shami in wc playing 11

 

[Ahmed216]

I want atleast 277 good fighting total I think

Soothsayer

 

[DJhant]

It's better to play a proper bowler like Shami than Thakur, Shami may also once in a while whack a few.

 

[Devadwal]

We have bowled out Australia despite poor fielding. Btw Australia batting is full strength

 

[FearlessRoar]

89 in the last 10, 46 in the last 5 and Australia finish with 276 at the end of 50 overs. David Warner the only batter to go past 50. 5-fer for M. Shami

 

[DJhant]

If you see his record, almost 1.4 wickets per match, avg below 30. So not very bad. Agree usually he looks bad

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami vs Thakur - 1-0 in favor of Thakur after this audition.
Two more matches to go.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mohali is one of the most familiar ground for most of these Aussies.

Death bowling is pretty good by India except Lord thakur
