I thought 167 was par on that wicket, Australian captain Mitchell Marsh said. But batting was pretty hard we had a few partnerships, but we just couldn't get the big one that would give us momentum going into the back end of the innings.
But there was just enough time for a 24-ball cameo from Suryakumar Yadav that suggested the India captain is ready to rediscover his best form on an international stage. Mitch Marsh won the toss and elected to field before the tourists set out to make a fast start with India opener Abhishek Sharma (19 off 14) taking the attack to the Australia bowlers from the first ball.
