International (ODI) on Sunday at the YS Raja Reddy Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. Chasing 118, Australia landed 121/0 in 11 overs, led by Mitchell Marsh’s unbeaten 66-run knockoff in 36 balls, which included six fours and six sixes. In the meantime, Travis Head hit an unbeaten 51-run knock-off in 30 balls, including 10 fours.
The fast bowler finished with 5-53 as India were dismissed for 117. “It’s disheartening. There’s no doubt about it,” India skipper Rohit Sharma said. “We didn’t perform to the best of our abilities. We didn’t put in any effort with the bat. We were always aware that there were not enough runs. It was definitely not a 117 pitch.”
“Starc is an excellent bowler. He’s been doing it for Australia with the new ball for years. He continued to bowl to his strength, and we continued to fall to his strength. This is something we must comprehend and adjust accordingly.”
The series will be decided in a nervy finale on Wednesday in Chennai. After whitewashing Sri Lanka and New Zealand, this was India’s first ODI defeat in 2023.
