"DROPPED! Abhishek Sharma charges the first ball for a swing and a miss then gets under the second trying to launch it out of Gold Coast Stadium. The white ball goes up, up and up into the early evening sky as three Australia fielders run towards the drop zone. Xavier Bartlett gets there first but after a moment of hesitation he grasses the catch. A huge chance goes begging for Australia."
"2nd over: India 13-0 (Abhishek 10, Gill 2) Xavier Bartlett has the opportunity to immediately make amends for the dropped catch but Abhishek only needs a little bit of width to slice the ball over cover off the back foot. That's the first boundary of the innings. The opener whips a straighter ball down the ground and only barely clears Mitch Marsh at mid-on for an easy three."
Mitchell Marsh won the toss and elected to bowl at Gold Coast Stadium. India named an unchanged XI including Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma with Suryakumar Yadav as captain. Australia made four changes with Matt Short promoted to opener and Glenn Maxwell returning to the middle order; Josh Philippe, Ben Dwarshuis and Adam Zampa also entered. Ben Dwarshuis took the new ball for Australia. Abhishek Sharma survived a dropped catch by Xavier Bartlett on the second ball and struck boundaries, reaching 10 as India stood 13-0 after two overs.
