India openers Unmukt Chand and Manan Vohra made mockery of the Australian attack by taking more than 10 an over from every bowler. The Aussies tried out five different bowlers in 12 overs they could send down, but none could succeed.

While Vohra struck 79 off just 35 balls, Unmukt smashed an equally impressive 72 off 40.

Brief scores: Australia 163 all out (James Pierson 51); India 167/0 in 12 overs (Vohra 79, Unmukt 72).
