After restricting the Aussies to 199 while bowling first, the Blues met with early blows as they had lost three batters — Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer — for just two runs in the first two overs.
However, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli built a match-winning 165-run partnership, making sure that the Blues don’t start their World Cup journey with an embarrassing loss in front of their home crowd.
Kohli contributed 85 runs while the wicketkeeper batter Rahul amassed 97 runs, leading their side to an important win.
