Batting first, India scored 324 for 8 riding on half-centuries from opener Rudra Patel (77 off 81 balls) and skipper Mohamed Amaan (71 off 72 balls).

In reply, Australia were going strong at 241 for 2 in the 41st over with twin centurions - skipper Oliver Peake (111) and Steven Hogan (104) - adding 180 runs for the third wicket stand but they finally could only manage 317 for 7 at the end of the stipulated 50 overs.
