Overview
- India were bowled out for 125, with Abhishek Sharma top-scoring at 68 off 37 as Josh Hazlewood ripped through the top order for 3 for 13.
- Australia reached 126 for 6 with 40 balls to spare, with Marsh striking 46 off 26 to set up a comfortable win after the Canberra opener was washed out.
- India tried close-in pressure tactics on Tim David, stationing Tilak Varma at short-leg as Varun Chakravarthy began his spell in a moment that produced a brief standoff.
- Chakravarthy later removed David for one in the ninth over and finished with 2 for 23, having earlier dismissed Travis Head.
- A separate mix-up led to Jasprit Bumrah’s run-out, an incident reported as stemming from miscommunication with Chakravarthy at the non-striker’s end.
