Coming to the match, Australian skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first but the decision seemed to have backfired as the Aussies lost the important wickets of their openers David Warner and Usman khawaja inside first three overs. Mohammad Siraj dismissed Usman Khawaja in his first delivery and Mohammaed Shami dismissed David Warner with an absolute beauty in the 1st delivery of his second over.

Steve smith and Marnus Labushagne played defensively after losing Australia's opening batters and Australia survived the further damage and ended the 1st session on 76/2. It was a wicket riot in from the start of the 2nd innings as Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Marnus Labushagne and Matt Renshaw in two consecutive deliveries and Steve Smith soon followed them as he also gave away his wicket to Ravindra Jadeja. Steve Smith managed to score 37 runs before falling to the hands of star Indian all-rounder.
