Australian pacer Mitchell Starc alongside pacer wreaked havoc on the Indian top-order in the ongoing IND vs AUS clash in the World Cup. Starc inflicted first damage to the Indian top-order as he got the better of Ishan Kishan on his very first ball. With that wicket, Starc became the fastest bowler to scalp 50 wickets in ODI World Cup.
Australia were bowled out for 199 Runs
Earlier in the match, skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first. The Indian spin-trio of Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin wreaked havoc on the five-time world champions. Pacer Jasprit Bumrah gave the Aussies an early blow, with Virat Kohli taking a stunning catch at first slip off dangerous Mitchell Marsh without troubling the scorers.
Experienced David Warner (41 off 52) and Steven Smith (46 off 71) added 69 runs for the second wicket. However, the Indian tweakers turned the tide in their favour as Jadeja ended his spell with 3-28. However, Australia did a good job to drag their total close to the 200-run mark with Mitchell Starc playing a crucial knock of 28 runs off 35 balls, to take them to 199, setting a 200-run target for India.
