India vs Australia T20 World Cup Warm-up Match Live Score and Updates: Australia won the toss and opted to bat first - Follow Live

  • Australia 94/4 after 15 overs: The last overs have yielded 37 runs with the loss of one wicket but India won't mind that as Australia are in desperate need of some wickets. 

  • Australia 86/4 after 14 overs: Ashwin is back into the attack and he doesn't take a hat-trick. He was on a hat-trick after picking two consecutive wickets in his previous over. Smith and Stoinis deal in singles.

  • Australia 81/4 after 13 overs: Kohli is back with the ball and this time Stoinis puts away a long hop to the deep mid-wicket boundary. Eight runs from the Kohli over and Australia in need of some big hits. 

  • Australia 73/4 after 12 overs: Rahul Chahar gets his first wicket as he removes the dangerous Glenn Maxwell. The Big Show falls just when Australia required him to step up the ante. Marcus Stoinis is the new man in.

  • Australia 68/3 after 11 overs: The fifty-run partnership between Maxwell and Smith is up and it has come in good time, in 46 deliveries. Maxwell is gradually freeing his arms and is looking good to go for his shots. Jadeja gets a touch expensive as he gives 11 in his penultimate over. 

  • Australia 57/3 after 10 overs: Steve Smith is batting on 22 off 24 and Glenn Maxwell is 23 off 18 balls. Rahul Chahar bowls yet another good over and Australia have crossed the 50-run mark. 

  • Australia 49/3 after 9 overs: Ravindra Jadeja is back and has changed ends. Smith is looking good and he fetches a boundary and with an in-form Maxwell, Australia is slowly rebuilding. 

  • Australia 42/3 after 8 overs: Rahul Chahar into the attack and the leg-spinner does well as he concedes just four from his opening over. 

  • Australia 38/3 after 7 overs: Right then we have Virat Kohli with the ball and the India captain starts with a sem-up delivery. He gives four singles to end his over and this has been a good start by the Indians. 

  • Australia 34/3 after 6 overs: Jadeja runs through another over but this time Maxwell gets into his act by smashing two back to back boundaries to provide Australia with some momentum. 

  • Australia 20/3 after 5 overs: Shardul Thakur is introduced into the attack as Glenn Maxwell has walked in with his side in deep trouble. Steve Smith and Maxwell have a job in their hands while Thakur would aim to maintain the pressure on the Australians. Meanwhile, MS Dhoni, Team India's mentor is busy with some wicket-keeping drills with Rishabh Pant. 

  • Australia 14/3 after 4 overs: Ravindra Jadeja strikes in his very first ball as he traps the Australian skipper. Finch departs for just 8 and Australia start in a poor fashion in Powerplay. 

  • Australia 11/2 after 3 overs: Bhuvneshwar Kumar almost pulled off a stunning one-handed catch but the ball didn't stick to his hand as Aaron Finch got a life. Steve Smith has joined Finch.

  • Australia 6/2 after 2 overs: R Ashwin strikes in his very first over as he removed David Warner and Mitchell Marsh to earn himself a hat-trick. Australia in trouble after opting to bat first as the Indian off-spinner has given India an early advantage. He first trapped Warner, who fell while playing a reverse sweep and then forced an outside edge to pack off Marsh.

  • Australia 3/0 after 1 over: Excellent start from Bhuvneshwar Kumar as he hasn't let the Australian openers attack and bowled a couple of lovely outswingers that beat the outside edge of both Warner and Finch. Ishan Kishan is keeping wickets instead of Rishabh Pant

  • Right then we are all set for the match to start and it will be David Warner and Aaron Finch who will open the batting for Australia. For India, it will be Bhuvneshwar Kumar who will start proceedings with the new ball. Here we go!

  • Toss - Australia won the toss and opted to bat first against India. Rohit Sharma will be captaining the side as Virat Kohli is rested. Along with Kohli, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah are also rested. 
  • Captain's Speak: Rohit Sharma - Kohli, Bumrah and Shami are resting today. We wanted to bat first as well, just wanted to try and get runs on the board. We want to make sure that we get the 6th bowling option, some options in the batting order as well, we'll try all those things today. Hardik is coming along pretty well, but it'll be a while before he will start to bowl. He hasn't started bowling, but he should be ready by the start of the tournament. We have quality in the main bowlers, but you need an option for a 6th bowler.

    Aaron Finch - We will bat first. Batted second in the last game, so looking to change things up a bit. It's going very well at the moment. Josh Hazlewood is the only one who'll not take the field today. Mitchell Swepson and Josh Inglis aren't playing as well.
