In the first of the five match ODI series against India, Australia have managed to put a decent 236 runs on the board. It appeared at one stage that the visitors would struggle to get to 220 but last few overs helped them get past a fighting total.
A few early wickets can put the middle order under pressure. Bumrah had an off day conceding 60 runs but Shami and Kuldeep had excellent outings with the ball.
Ahead of the match, Indian captain Virat Kohli on Friday, 1 March, said IPL performances will have "no influence" on the World Cup team selection, calling the speculation a "very, very radical analysis".
With 12 to 13 slots more or less locked, India will be zeroing in on their last couple of slots for the World Cup, which starts 30 May in England, after the five games in the upcoming ODI series against Australia.
