Barsapara Cricket Stadium's first taste of international cricket didn't go according to plan for India. After being put into bat by Australia at Guwahati, India's top-order went missing and it was only thanks to some crucial lower-order contributions that they even managed to cross 100.

And that all came courtesy of a breathtaking spell of new-ball bowling by Jason Behrendorff, who ran through the Indian top-order to leave the hosts reeling at 27/4 before the end of the powerplay. 118 was never going to be enough for India to defend and despite picking up two quick wickets with the new ball, India were chasing leather for the rest of the game.

The target of 119 was chased down with consummate ease by the Australian all-round duo of Moises Henriques and Travis Head, who got their side over the line with eight wickets and 27 balls to spare.

Brief scores: India 118 all out in 20 overs (Kedar Jadhav 27, Jason Behrendorff 4/21) lost to Australia 122/2 in 15.3 overs (Moises Henriques 62*, Travis Head 48*)
