After losing the toss and batting first, the Indian team scored 264 for 9. The Indian team's start was not impressive. They suffered their first setback at the score of 17 runs. Captain Shubman (9 runs) was the victim of fast bowler Xavier Bartlett. Bartlett then dismissed Virat Kohli in the same over. Kohli remained unbeaten for the second consecutive match.

From here, Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer steadied India's innings with a 118-run partnership for the third wicket. Rohit Sharma reached his fifty off 74 balls. This was his slowest half-century in ODIs since 2015. It was also Rohit's 59th fifty of his ODI career. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer reached his half-century off 67 balls.

This partnership was broken by Mitchell Starc, who dismissed Rohit (73 runs off 97 balls with the help of 7 fours and 2 sixes). Shortly after Rohit's dismissal, Shreyas also departed after scoring 61 runs off 77 balls (seven fours).

From here, India lost wickets at regular intervals. KL Rahul (11 runs), Washington Sundar (12 runs), and Nitish Kumar Reddy (8 runs) failed to make a significant impact.
