The ball takes the edge, and it's caught behind by KL Rahul. Australia loses their first wicket without scoring any runs.

2nd to 10th Over: Steve Smith and Shaun Marsh are now at the crease, and they have steadied the ship after the early wicket. Both batsmen are looking comfortable at the crease and are scoring runs at a good rate.

11th to 20th Over:  The Australian batsmen have now settled in, and they are starting to accelerate the scoring rate. Smith and Marsh are playing some beautiful shots and are putting the Indian bowlers under pressure. The partnership between the two has now crossed the 50-run mark, and Australia's total has crossed the 100-run mark.

21st to 30th Over:

 

India has finally managed to break the partnership. Smith has been caught by Hardik Pandya off the bowling of Shardul Thakur for a well-made 64. Marcus Stoinis has joined Marsh at the crease, and they will be looking to build another partnership.

31st to 40th Over: Australia has lost another wicket. Stoinis has been caught by Rahul off the bowling of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Glenn Maxwell has joined Marsh at the crease, and they will be looking to accelerate the scoring rate in the final overs.

41st to 50th Over: Shaun Marsh has played a brilliant innings, scoring his 7th ODI century. He has been the anchor of the Australian innings and has helped them post a challenging total of 298/9 in their 50 overs. India will need to bat well to chase down this total.
