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.

Just 32 runs needed for India to win the match. Virat Kohli did most of what he is expected. I felt he wanted to be their till the end, in those humidity condition he did very well. KL R ahul is still batting with Hardik Pandya. It is now for these guys to get those winning runs. BTW, there is a big crowd in the stadium, we only support our team  Grin I felt.

If India wants to get it done then they should do it within 5 overs. The net run rate is something that should be looked  into by Indians in the upcoming matches.

Only 8 runs needed. This game is over for me as India wins the first match in World Cup 2023 against Australia.

Amazing comeback by the Indian batters. Top 3 Indian batters were out for a duck and then came in GOAT & Rahul. They both with their simple strategy of conserving wickets are now destroying Australia. Another simple example to prove that Indian team is different in this world cup.
In 5th Match Australia 199 all out in 49.3 overs vs India. After 3 early falls of wickets of Rohit Sharma is out for duck, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer is also bowled in duck. The drop catch of Virat Kholi by Mitchell  Marsh is turning point in the match. India current score is 139 in loss of 3 wickets only in 33 over. Virat Kohli is playing at 71 Not Out and kl Rahul is also playing very good 61 Not out. India 61 need from 102 balls to win this match. Virat Kohli playing Outstanding in under pressure and brings Up His 67th Fifty In ODI Cricket. The more then 100 partnership between Kholi and Rahul is match changing.

2/3 Lmao, 3 golden ducks !! Why does it feel like another knockout now?
Okay, all are in good form but ffs just see off the new ball and try to spend some time first or at least pretend. Now below par score looking big and it's just a start.
----------
5/3 scoreline reminds me of, India playing against Kiwi's attack lol

Shreyas Iyer was stupid enough to hit that shot. He, being an experienced batter should know that the ball is not coming to the bat. He should have watched the dismissal of Ishan Kishan, Rohit was unlucky I felt that the ball was missing the wicket while it wasn't. Kohli and Rahul for now are playing well, Kohli did get frustrated and hit a careless loft which was dropped. I hope these two just think about taking the ones and two and whenever they get an oddball hit it for four or six. This wicket is now giving assistance to both pacers and spinners, not that easy to bat.

I am now seeing the match getting snatched from the hands of Australia. India were once 2/3, wherein they had 2 runs on the board and lost three wickets. This fourth wicket partnership is an absolute nightmare for Australia. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have destroyed Australia, an absolute thriller match after 3 dominated matches. Plenty of overs left, Australia can come back while these two are busy playing their natural game of ODI cricket.

Yes, you are absolutely right.
Australia p1 did very well in the first innings. But now it seems that Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will win the match for India. India need to score 76 runs in 19 overs to win. This pitch is unfortunate for Australia. Because they did not understand spin bowling at all. If Australia wants to win then Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have to break the pair. But it will be very difficult for Australia to break this partnership. Because Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are in good position in Indian team.

It seems India recovered very well after the early wicket lose. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul should bat another ten over from here to secure this match. Aussies bowling line up is not bad so there is no need to take any risk. They have enough overs in hand to chase this total. All they need is patient at this moment.

I haven't seen Both Indian batters goes for a duck for a while now. I don't remember when I have seen that both Indian openers get back to the pavilion without scoring runs. For now, this match still in India's hand.
Right you are!!
KL Rahul and Virat Kohli have to bat patiently for another 10-15 overs on this pitch. Because any kind of unexpected incident or disaster can happen in this pitch at any time. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli have already put together a 100 run partnership which is very important for India to win. If Virat Kohli and KL Rahul get out, India's batting line-up could be a major disaster, so it would be wise for them to bat better in a defensive mood.
India's pair have been unscathed so far after falling by three wickets for two runs, but the pair are increasingly becoming a formidable threat to Australia's bowling. If Australia can break this partnership early, they will be able to put great pressure on the next wickets.

The pitch is not good for the batsmen. Bowlers get good advantage. Also the batsmen can play a bit better in the first innings. Gradually the pitch became more bowling friendly. So I think the decision to bat will win the toss is right.
Australia quickly lost the wicket of their opener Marsh. The two batsmen at the crease, Warner and Smith, are also finding it difficult to score runs. Indian bowlers are bowling very well. Australia collected only 32 runs in 8 overs. But the Australian batsmen should now try to stay at the crease. If they don't lose quick wickets, they will be able to collect big. Australia can control the match if they provide a target of 280-300. But it is very difficult to give a target of more than 280 on this pitch.
Aussies are going with strategy. They are not going after bowlers and not giving away there wickets. After 16 overs Aussies are steady with 73/1,  Warner and Smith are well set. India need wickets because if Smith and Warner kept going like that then there is possibility that Australia may give a huge target to India. India defiantly will not like a target above 300.
Both players you are mentioned in your post like D.Warner and S.Smith bowled by K.Yadav and R.Jadeja. Both these indian bowlers took these batsmans wickets when both are too near to achieve their half century. I think this is very difficult task for Australia team they will set 200 runs target and this is not enough for India team. They can easily chase down this small target. Now only one wickets are left of Australian batsman and 4 overs are left and they made 175 runs. India bowling performance was outstanding especially R.Jadeja. His bowling performance brilliant and he took down 3 batters.

The Indian team faced a batting disaster after going into bat with a target of only 200 runs. They lost three batsmen for just 2 runs. I have not seen such a batting disaster for India in a long time. Usually India's top order bats well. But it was unexpected that they would start the innings badly today. Target is not too big. Indian batsmen should have tried to stay at the crease by any means possible. Rohit, Ishan Kishan and Iyer failed to score any runs. Starc took 1 and Hazlewood 2 wickets. The pitch was more effective for the spin bowlers, but the Australian bowlers got off to a good start. Now the Indian batsmen will be under a lot of pressure.

What a disaster for Aussies. They were ready to play against any team here. They have played a series right before the World Cup so they can get used to the conditions. Even they played well in the last ODI against India and won the match. I don't think Aussies expected to score such a low total in these sporting wickets. Warner and Smith saved the Aussies, otherwise, their score could have been lower than this. I am surprised that Starc played like a proper batter. He took the responsibility like a batter but their top and middle order were unable to play like him. I guess this match is going to be an easy win for India.

Complementing the best spin bowling of the Indian trio was exceptional Indian fielding. Restricting Australia to just 199 runs is a big accomplishment of the Indian bowling attack. The best dismissal for today was when Jadeja bowled out Steve Smith, he never expected the ball to turn so much. Australia does have two spinners but they are not as good as Indian spinners. In order to win this match, Australia must make effective use of their pace bowlers. I believe that it would be a tough task for the Australian bowlers to defend a low target of 200 runs. If they had a 20 or 30 runs extra on the existing target then it would have made a difference.

Spin trio spinning the web!

Now India should go for the kill and wrap up Aussie tail, don't want to see their tail wagging and dragging the game. Just take out the last 3 wickets as soon as possible with minimum damage, it will strengthen the run rate game. You never know what might happen as the tournament progresses.

Sir Jadeja is spinning the ball so much that it became harder for the slip and the wicket-keeper to catch the ball. The same incident happened twice with Kuldeep, the last over from Ashwin India needed only two wickets to end Australia's innings. For now, it seems a distant dream as the tail-enders are not taking any risk, they not even trying to get the ones and twos. I do not think Australia would be able to get to to 199 runs if they continue to play in this manner.

Indian bowling has been spot on from the first ball. Indian fielding has been excellent today. The pressure created by the Indian team on the Australian batters is visible with their CRR which is below 4 now. Only 15 more overs left to bowl and I expect Australian batters would now try to open their hands as they are hardly able to get the ones or two. With this rate they would be able to give a target of 199 or 220 runs to India.

Edit: Maxwel bowled by Kuldeep.

Australia was looking to save wickets and scoring at a low rate. But this strategy did not work for them well, as they kept losing wickets all along, making no chance of them going for the kill in the last part of the innings.

Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Ashwin, all of them dismantled the strong battling line of Australia. I am sure that India will get all the remaining wickets as there are only the last three wickets left for the Aussies.

It was obvious before the start of play that spinners would play a big part in this match but I never thought that Australia may be all out well under 200 runs.
