A brilliant maiden ODI century for Peter Handscomb saw the Australians trudge their way to 249. Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar made light work of Australia's top and middle order, with only Handscomb making it past 20. He would finally find an ally in Matthew Wade who has returned to the ODI team after being dropped for the South African ODI's in preference for Alex Carey. However he took his chance helping Australia rebuild from 5/95 to 6/226 when Wade was finally dismissed for 58. A tricky pitch, made look easy by Handscomb, but India certainly favourites going into the 2nd innings.

It should go without saying, India are always favourites when this man is involved in a run chase. Hazlewood and Starc's return to international cricket meant nothing to this man, as he plundered the Aussies all around Sydney to easily chase down the target. 126 off 130 for King Kohli proving again he is the best in the world in a run chase. Australia's star bowlers were able to claim wickets on their return, but it simply wasn't enough as Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni provided more than enough support to Kohli to see this chase home comfortably. India claim the first match of the ODI series as we head to Adelaide.
