IND vs AUS World Cup 2023 Live: India bowls out Australia at 199 Runs in Chennai | India vs Australia Scorecard after 1st Innings: In what can be called a comprehensive bowling performance by the Indian team in their opening game of the ICC World Cup 2023, the Men in Blue have reduced Australia to a meager score of 199 runs before getting bundled out. The Indian bowlers led by all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja ripped Australia apart with their tight and scrutinising lengths.
Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium, which is known to assist the bowlers quite heavily, has once again shown its true colours as we see Australia’s debacle against India. The Indian spinners took control of the game comfortably and dismissed the Australian batters one by one in quick succession.
The only viable partnership for Australia came between opener David Warner and Steve Smith, who jointly added 69 runs before the partnership was cracked up by Kuldeep Yadav in the 17th over. Opener David Warner scored 41 runs from 52 deliveries, while Steve Smith was dismissed four shy of his well-deserved half-century, thanks to a ripper by Ravindra Jadeja.
Post this 69-run stand, Marnus Labuschagne tried to stick to one end for a bit, however, he was eventually removed by all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Labuschagne could score 27 runs in 41 deliveries before getting an outside edge which carried to wicketkeeper KL Rahul.
Post Labuschagne’s dismissal, it has been one-way traffic for the Indian bowlers who have reduced the entire Australian batting lineup in quick succession.
In the meantime, Jadeja removed wicketkeeper, Alex Carey, while Kuldeep Yadav got Maxwell bamboozled. Seasoned spinner R Ashwin also, washed his hands, with the scalp of Cameron Green. While Jasprit Bumrah returned and picked up the Australian skipper Pat Cummins as he looked threatening.
Pacer Mitchell Starc tried to put up some runs for his team towards the end of the innings. He took on the loose deliveries bowled by the Indian pacers and added crucial runs to take his team’s overall score to 199 runs in 49.3 overs. Starc added 28 runs before he holed out in the final over of the innings.
