India’s defeat was a result of losing their last seven wickets for a mere 55 runs. Despite a seemingly untroubled start, Virat Kohli’s dismissal after chasing a wide delivery outside off, caught by Steve Smith at second slip, proved to be a turning point. 

Scott Boland then removed Jadeja in the same over, followed by Mitchell Starc’s dismissal of Ajinkya Rahane. Nathan Lyon’s impressive 4-fer wrapped up the tail, securing Australia’s victory.
