Scorecard

India and Australia share an intense cricket rivalry that often produces nail-biting battles and iconic moments that live long in the memory. Their clash at Eden Gardens proved no exception with Kohli, Bumrah, and Kuldeep Yadav all in fine form to lead India past Australia by seventy one runs.

Australia was overwhelmed by Indian bowlers, who unleashed devastating pace bowling that devastated their middle order. Captain Mitchell Marsh was bowled for 43 runs while Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne attempted to lead their side but could not match India’s target of 264 runs which proved too much on an overcast and seam-friendly pitch.

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill made India off to an excellent start, but it was Kohli who led their charge with his masterful 74 off 88 balls. Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube also contributed strongly towards India amassing an enormous total on the board.

After Usman Khawaja’s early wicket, Australia struggled to match India’s pacey bowlers. Josh Hazlewood and Marcus Stoinis provided some resistance; but without sufficient support from other teammates they couldn’t compete effectively against India’s bowlers.

Jasprit Bumrah made an early mark with the opening ball of his new spell, getting Khawaja to edge one short from Ravindra Jadeja to second slip for a run-out. A review attempt failed so Australia were soon in trouble at 104-4.

Spinners kept things tight throughout, with Varun Chakravarthy and Ravindra Jadeja taking one wicket each, Kuldeep Yadav and Bhuvan Chandre Goswami adding significant blows. Harshit Rana’s slow delivery pinned Alex Carey in front of the stumps to end their hopes; leaving India trailing the series by one game with the final game scheduled to be held at Nagpur on Wednesday.

Match Summary

Australia was quickly plunged into an early hole after succumbing to early wickets from Pakistan but two first innings heroes helped their side fight back. Marnus Labuschagne scored his seventh One Day International Century while Pat Cummins made an aggressive 41 before Jasprit Bumrah returned for his second spell and began decimating their lower order, taking out Alex Carey, Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head en route.

India began with a score of 168-4 and quickly secured victory by bowling Rohit Sharma out, trapping him lbw off Siraj for 73 and Rishabh Pant making sure of it with an expert pull to the boundary to take India to 231-5.

Boland made an immediate impact as Australia continued to strike down at the tail, taking two wickets while Bumrah collected another four in quick succession. Boland has made quite an impression during his maiden summer as a Test paceman, making a strong case to replace Josh Hazlewood when his contract ends at the end of 2021.

Australia are currently on 201-8 with Labuschagne on 43 and Smith out for 0. Jasprit Bumrah strikes with his inaugural ball of his new spell – it’s a short on leg stump which Khawaja attempts to pull away early but undercuts and becomes easy pickings at midwicket.

Akash Deep joined in and hit Boland for four before running out of steam and giving way to Washington Sundar, who promptly hit a short ball into the turf resulting in it being called as no ball by umpires.

Rain has put an abrupt stop to today’s final session, but the Australians have managed to take an impressive lead into it. The pitch wasn’t as lively but still contained plenty of pace that suited fast bowlers – giving their fast bowlers plenty of opportunities to shine. Their victory vaults them from pool leader into semi-final contention; facing either South Africa or New Zealand as their opponent should ensure another exciting battle awaits them later today.

ODI Records

India and Australia share one of the longest and fiercest rivalries in international cricket history. Over time, this rivalry has produced memorable moments that have captured fans across all formats; from dramatic Test series battles for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to fierce limited-overs contests; both teams have shown their determination throughout this storied rivalry; from legendary players like Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting, through to current captains Virat Kohli and Aaron Finch proving themselves on multiple occasions.

India and Australia have played 151 ODI matches against each other; Australia holds a clear advantage, winning 84 to India’s 57 wins in total. This is particularly evident during World Cup ODI matches; Australia won 13 of their 16 encounters while India only managed five victories over Australia.

India and Australia’s rivalry extends well beyond ODIs; their T20I encounters are also notable. Since 2015, these countries have met 32 times for T20Is with India winning 20 games to 11 for Australia. Most recently on January 14, India beat Australia by seven wickets thanks to Rohit Sharma scoring an unbeaten century and Mohammed Shami’s stellar bowling performance – their latest encounter taking place on January 15 in Bengaluru and Rohit’s hundred being one factor behind India’s victory.

T20I cricket is a shorter format of the game that demands different skills in its players to succeed. While ODIs require experienced and talented teams, T20Is require players with speed, power and precision – thus making the average cricketer’s life much harder, as they usually feature low scores with high wicket-rates.

T20 Internationals provide an ideal arena for emerging stars to demonstrate their abilities against some of the top teams. India and Australia will both feature some outstanding young talent on both sides, as well as experienced veterans with proven success in T20Is in past tournaments – creating an intriguing competition between two of the greatest sides worldwide.

T20 Records

India-Australia cricket rivalry is one of the longest and most historic in cricket, creating iconic moments across formats for fans around the globe. From intense Test series battles for Border-Gavaskar Trophy to T20Is and World Cup showsdowns, this head-to-head competition boasts some of the most captivating contests.

India and Australia have faced each other 152 times in One-Day Internationals (ODIs), with Australia winning overall series 84-57 with 10 matches ending without results. Sachin Tendulkar led India against Australia with 3077 runs scored over 93 innings; whilst captain Steve Smith led Australia scoring 2048 runs against them.

India have an outstanding record against Australia in T20Is, winning 19 out of 31 matches between them and Rohit Sharma’s record-setting 171* against Australia remains the highest individual score against this team in this format. Additionally, both sides have shared some incredible partnerships, with Adam Gilchrist and Sachin Tendulkar scoring sixes against each other during ODIs.

India have won two out of their last three ICC World Cup limited-overs matches against Australia, including an epic clash at Oval Stadium in 2023. Unfortunately for India however, one key figure will miss this limited-overs leg due to Rohit Sharma recovering from a knee injury and therefore not participating.

Australia have won only four out of seven T20I World Cup matches against India since 2007, while India have claimed five of eight. Yet Australia remain favorites to prevail and advance into the semifinals of the tournament.
