Despite it being a working day, Mumbaikars took time out of from their busy schedules and thronged to the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday in the hope of a good contest between the two top teams in world cricket. They hoped for an India ODI win here finally after two consecutive defeats (in 2015 and 2017). None of their wishes came true.

India had their trump pacer Jasprit Bumrah back and an in-form Mohammed Shami as well but it still wasn't enough to manage any breakthroughs as Australia comprehensively beat Virat Kohli & Co by 10 wickets and 74 balls to spare, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. It was only the second time, after the drubbing by South Africa at Eden Gardens in 2005 that India have lost an ODI by 10 wickets on home soil. Overall, it was India's fifth 10-wicket loss in one-dayers.
