London, June 9: India beat Australia comfortably by 36 runs in the ICC World Cup 2019 on Sunday (June 9). Shikhar Dhawan was the pillar with a fluent hundred while bowlers were on the money and defended 352 with ease.
Virat Kohli-led Indian Cricket Team will face in-form Australia at the Oval on Sunday (June 9) in their second ICC World Cup 2019 here at The Oval. Both the teams are fresh from wins in their previous game.
While India fought hard to beat South Africa, defending champions Australia saw off a few nervy moments before emerging victors against the West Indies. Australia are comfortably ahead in the head-to-head to record against India in the quadrennial event.

Both the teams are studded with some of the best limited-overs cricketer in the current generation and that makes this clash even more exciting.
If Australia have in-form David Warner, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins in their ranks, India, on the other hand, would be boasting on the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli and Japrit Bumrah.
MyKhel brings to you the live updates of the match between Australia and India.
All over. India beat Australia by 36 runs and move to 3rd in the points table.
50 for Alex Carey in 25 overs. Good knock but came that late
This is a very interesting piece.
History at the Oval. The top 5 of both teams have all reached 25 - the first time this has happened in ODIs, in 4155 matches. https://t.co/bhXhdSRiiS #CWC19

Coulter Nile holes out to Kohli off Bumrah and Aussies are 283/7 and the final 5 overs begin.
Alex Carey is trying his hand here. But can he sustain this?
Australia have lost three wickets for 6 runs and that has really made their task improbable.
Another wicket and this time a real big one. Glenn Maxwell. Jadeja take a smart catch off Chahal and he is out for 28 off 14 balls. Aussies hopes might just have ended.
Another strike by Bhuvi in the same over. Marcus Stoinis was stuck in the crease and failed to negate a ball that skidded in. Out for a duck. Aus are 238/5
Once again good captaincy by Kohli. Brought back Bhuvi despite being expensive in the last spell and he got rid of Smith. Out for 69 and Aussies are 238/4
Maxwell is bringing some much needed muscle here 21 off 9 balls and extracted 15 runs in Bhuvi's last over.
Khawaja gave too much room for and Bumrah found the woodwork. Out for 42 and Aussies are 202/3
Australia reach 200 in 36 overs.
Khwaja taking some risks here to get a move on. But a wee bit late, we think here
50 for Steve Smith off 63 balls. Very good innings but still a long way to go
Nadal beat Thiem 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 to lift his 12th French Open and 18th Grand Slam title. Great champion!
Do some data crunching there
Chahal’s delivery to dismiss Warner was the slowest ball he bowled to him today & significantly slower than his average. It was his first ball to Warner from the Pavilion End - by tossing it up slower he tempted the big shot but this time Warner was hitting into the wind. #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/CXRAUc9pqd

Meanwhile, across the English channel Rafa Nadal is a few points away from his 12th French Open. Keep an eye there too!
KL Rahul has been sensational in the field today. First he combined with Chahal to save a total of 4 runs on two occasions and then saved another four of his own.
The Zing bails row. Here's what Mike Selvey has to say, a former England pacer and now a veteran journalist
Two things re bails controversy. 1. They can't change during this tournament. 2. Making the grooves shallower, the obvious solution, means that the bails sit higher, so the stumps have to be shorted to conform

Check that!
Big big wicket for India.

That man Yuzvendra Chahal removes David Warner for 56. A big ask for Australia now.#TeamIndia #CWC19 #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/SQI3W6gzlA
Just as a partnership was building, Chahal came and get rid of Warner. He hit against the wind and perishes to Bhuvneshwar at deep mid-wicket. Out for 56 and Aussies are 134/2
Australia have not lost too many wickets but they are a bit too slow for comfort in the Aussie dug out.
Steve Smith and Warner extracts 15 runs off that over by Kedar Jadhav. Much needed
50 for Davy Warner. It might have been one of the slowest ODI 50 for him. But dressing room applaudes and he acknowledges.
Bumrah back. Kohli looking for wickets. 100 up for Aussies in 20.1 overs.
Chahal has come into attack now. Can he do what he did against South Africa?
The required run rate which was 7+ at the beginning has now tipped over 8 now.
Cant see any army emblem on Dhoni's gloves.
Warner nearly chopped Kuldeep on to his stumps. He is struggling big time here. Not the Warner we saw in IPL 2019 for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
That's how Finch got out.
Little conflicted at present. Left arm leggy against @CricketAus.

Sorry Kuldeep, hope you get a lot of wickets in this world cup, but not today you little legend. But good luck. #AUSvIND #cricket
