India collect two more points and strengthen their position on the table. First loss for Australia in World Cup 2019. India vs Australia, LIVE Score, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Match Preview: Defending champions Australia play 2011 winners India in a blockbuster ICC Cricket World Cup encounter in London’s Kennington Oval on Sunday, 9 June. India, having opened their campaign with a six-wicket win over South Africa, appear a well-rounded unit with their bowlers hitting the straps early. The batting, despite early wobble, stood firm in the face of some hostile pace attack from Kagiso Rabada with opener Rohit Sharma scoring a masterly century. Australia, too, are coming off an encouraging win over the West Indies in Nottingham. Having been reduced to 79/5 by the Windies, the Aussies rode on Nathan Coulter-Nile and Steven Smith’s half-centuries to gallop to 288. Mitchell Starc then came to the party with a five-wicket haul as Australia completed a 15-run win. For India to avenge their 2015 semi-final loss, the bowling and top order will have to be on point again, for Australia possess better depth and quality in their ranks. Steve Smith and David Warner have eased back in top-flight cricket with a half-century each, while the bowling, spearheaded by Starc and supported by Coulter-Nile and Pat Cummins, looks well-rounded. While India will once again rely on Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav to control the middle overs, former Australia great Ricky Ponting believes Virat Kohli may field a three-man pace attack to rattle Aaron Finch’s men after having watched them struggle against the Caribbean pace battery. The West Indies trio of Oshane Thomas, Sheldon Cottrell, and Andre Russell terrorised the Australian batsmen with their fiery pace and disconcerting short balls, reducing the five-time champions to 38 for four at one stage on Thursday. Two-time World Cup-winning captain Ponting, who is currently the assistant coach, believed the sight of his boys scurrying for cover might tempt the Indian team management to go with three quicks instead of playing two wrist-spinners. “(Jasprit) Bumrah we know is a very good new ball bowler and I’m sure he’ll mix it up and bowl some short stuff and some full stuff,” Ponting was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. “Bhuvneshwar will probably not worry you too much with his pace or his bouncers. Hardik can maybe rush you a little bit, so maybe they have a decision to make on the overall make-up of their side. “Do they maybe go with only the one spinner and use (off-spinning allrounder) Kedar Jadav as a second spinner and play another fast bowler? We’ll worry about that in the next couple of days and make sure all the boys are prepared.” Here’s all you need to know about when and where to watch India vs Australia match: When will India vs Australia match take place?

Zampa c (sub)Jadeja b Bhuvneshwar 1(3)
After 49 overs,Australia 312/8 ( Alex Carey (W) 52 , Mitchell Starc 3)
Bumrah finishes off and does well. The match is in India’s kitty now. Dhoni has had a tough time behind the stumps against the slower balls, coming down late to collect them. But no worries. India has done it here. Australia need 41 runs in 6 balls.
After 48 overs,Australia 309/8 ( Alex Carey (W) 51 , Mitchell Starc 3)
Bhuvneshwar hit for four on just the first ball and then made a good comeback. Just five off the next five and he keeps India ahead in the game. Fifty for Carey. A good knock but maybe no good enough. Australia need 44 runs in 12 balls.
Alex Carey’s fifty in 25 balls today:
– The second fastest fifty for Australia ever in ODI World Cup
– The fastest fifty of this World Cup
After 47 overs,Australia 300/8 ( Alex Carey (W) 45 , )
Bumrah continues and has removed Cummins off the last ball. Australia are collecting a boundary every over. 300 has come up for them. Bumrah has an off day but he still has got thre wickets. Australia need 53 runs in 18 balls.
After 46 overs,Australia 291/7 ( Alex Carey (W) 43 , Pat Cummins 1)
Bhuvneshwar continues. Carey is still fighting it out. Better for Australia he faces more of the 24 balls remaining and better for India if they see his back and end this remaining excitement in the chase. Australia need 62 runs in 24 balls.
After 45 overs,Australia 284/7 ( Alex Carey (W) 37 , Pat Cummins 0)
Carey is the key here now after the fall of Coulter-Nile. Bumrah has come back on and produced a wicket in this situation. Good catch by Kohli as well. Australia need 69 runs in 30 balls. Cummins joins Carey in the middle.
After 44 overs,Australia 278/6 ( Alex Carey (W) 31 , Nathan Coulter-Nile 4)
There is a strange feeling in the match right now as if this match is meant to go closer. Pandya comes in to complete his spell. He has done well. Got hit for a four though on the second last ball. 0/68 reads his figure. Australia need 75 runs in 36 balls
After 43 overs,Australia 269/6 ( Alex Carey (W) 23 , Nathan Coulter-Nile 3)
Chahal completes his spell. Carey has smashed him to four and six to dent his figures. He finishes with figures of 2 for 62. Gave away 13 in his last. Australia need 84 runs in 42 balls.
The current contest is done and dusted as far as Aakash Chopra is concerned
After 42 overs,Australia 256/6 ( Alex Carey (W) 10 , Nathan Coulter-Nile 3)
Australia have got a new plan in place it seems. Run impossible singles and create chances of overthrows. They got five off the first ball courtesy of the same and then double two balls later. India need to not loose the grip. Bumrah has started bowling his perfect yorkers. Australia need 97 runs in 48 balls
Dismissing Maxwell most times in ODIs:
4 – Moeen Ali
4 – Dale Steyn
4 – Morne Morkel
4 – Yuzvendra Chahal*
After 41 overs,Australia 247/6 ( Alex Carey (W) 4 , Nathan Coulter-Nile 0)
Chahal has been brilliant with the ball. He usually shows a lot of heart with the ball and he was no different today. Got hit for a four on third ball off the edge, came back and removed Maxwell on the next ball. And a special mention of that catch by Jadeja. Only he could have taken that running in from deep. What a catch. Australia need 106 runs in 54 balls.
After 40 overs,Australia 238/5 ( Glenn Maxwell 23 , Alex Carey (W) 0)
Bhuvneshwar continues and he has changed the game on its head in this over. Two wickets in the same over. Smith gone and two balls later Stoinis cleaned up. The game tilts more in India’s favour. Australia need 115 runs in 60 balls.
