Australia Innings
Australia is in deep trouble as the Aussies lose four wickets in the chase of 312 runs. Australia had a slow start with openers Mitchell Marsh and David Warner struggling to find their rhythm. Marsh fell early, followed by Warner, and the wickets kept tumbling. Steven Smith and Josh Inglis also departed quickly.
Glenn Maxwell also did not score a good run, cut & bold by Maharaj. Then Marcus Stoinis dismissed by Rabada. Although there was a partnership between Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Starc, it was too late for Australia to turn the game around. They couldn’t even reach the 200-run mark for the second consecutive game, leaving them with much work to do in their upcoming matches. Australia have lost both their opening games of a World Cup.
