 Australians were struggling when rain decided to pay a visit, managing only 118 runs losing eight wickets. The officials waited for few minutes and later confirmed that Australian innings was complete, meaning they are done and have posted a below par score.

Earlier, Virat won the toss and opted to bowl first, Australia was without their skipper and in his absence, David Warner led the side but the same thing continued Australia's batting seems like an old tape recorder playing in a loop. Finch gives them a blazing start with someone playing second fiddle and once he's out, the all too familiar collapse starts. 

 Whatever the target might be for India, it is not going to be a challenging one.
