Mitchell Starc Strikes Early, Indian Batting Stumbles
Australia’s bowling attack, spearheaded by Mitchell Starc, proved decisive in the first ODI at Perth Cricket Stadium. Starc dismissed Virat Kohli with a fuller and wider delivery, tempting Kohli into a drive and leaving him beaten, as India’s batting line-up struggled to find rhythm. Early breakthroughs saw Rohit Sharma (1-13), Kohli (2-21), and Shubman Gill (3-25) fall within eight overs. Rohit, despite a brief spark with a boundary over long-off, could not convert his start, and Shreyas Iyer soon followed, as India’s top order was in disarray at 45-4 after 13.2 overs. Axar Patel provided some resistance but fell at the 20-over mark with India still in trouble.
Australia Chase Down Target with Composure
In response, Australia’s batting line-up handled the chase with measured tactics. The host team’s openers set the tone, absorbing initial pressure and rotating strike efficiently. India attempted to claw back with tight spells and sharp fielding, but Australia’s middle order stabilized the innings and prevented further collapses. Starc’s all-round performance contributed on both ends, ensuring Australia reached the modest target with wickets in hand, sealing the match convincingly and giving the hosts a lead in the three-match series.
With Australia’s dominant display in both bowling and batting, can India bounce back stronger in the next ODI, or will Australia continue their winning momentum on home turf?
