Preparations for Diwali are going on in the country. Fans were hopeful that Team India would give the gift of victory to the countrymen by defeating Australia in the first ODI, but unfortunately it could not happen. Australia defeated India by 7 wickets in the first ODI played in Perth. Captain Mitchell Marsh played a match-winning inning of 46 unbeaten runs for Australia. Due to rain at regular intervals, this match was played of 26-26 overs. This is Australia’s first victory on this ground.
In the rain-interrupted first ODI, Team India had scored 136 runs for 9 wickets in 26 overs, but the DLS target given to Australia was 131 runs, which the Kangaroos achieved in 21.1 overs by losing 3 wickets. After 223 days, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli came to play for Team India, but Team India could not register victory in the comeback match of these giants. Both their bats also remained silent.
India’s first defeat in 2025
Let us tell you that this is India’s first defeat in ODI cricket this year. With this, India’s winning streak also ended. Team India has not lost any ODI match after 8 consecutive wins. After the flop of the batsmen, even the Indian bowlers could not do wonders in this match. Indian bowlers could not bowl the way the Kangaroos did.
Australia chased the target easily
The Australian team, which came to chase the target of 131 runs, did not have a good start. Travis Head was out to Arshdeep Singh after hitting two fours in five balls. After this, Matthew Short also returned to the pavilion cheaply. Short scored only eight runs. However, at the other end, captain Mitchell Marsh kept scoring runs rapidly.
