Batting first, Australia scored 184 in 49.4 overs with right-arm leg-break bowler Mohamed Enaan taking 4 for 32 in 10 overs. Steve Hogan (42) and Riley Kingsell (36) got starts but couldn't convert. There was a middle order collapse and it was No. 10 Thomas Brown's 29 that took Aussie colts past the 180-run mark.

In reply, India lost their top three for only 32 before Karthikeya and Amaan (58 not out off 89 balls) added 153 runs for the unbroken fourth wicket stand with the hosts coasting home with 14 overs to spare.
