Their top order gave them a good start, but the middle order could not continue the momentum, leaving them short of India's total.Neel Patel was one of Australia's better batters in the opening game, scoring 45 runs from 31 balls with four fours and two sixes. Hayden Barbulovic also made a quick 40 from 24 balls, including three fours and three sixes.Jack Czosnek played an aggressive innings of 55 from only 27 balls, hitting six fours and three sixes. His innings helped Australia stay in the contest, but the middle order could not provide enough support after the top order had done its job. Australia will want their middle order to contribute more in the second game and help the team finish the innings better.Spencer Green was Australia's leading wicket-taker, taking 2 wickets for 43 runs from his 4 overs. Eli Brain also picked up 2 wickets, while Will Byrom and Thomas Vaseo took one wicket each. However, the bowling unit conceded runs at a high rate and could not stop India's late hitting.
