Australia got off to a poor start in the 2023 World Cup as they slipped to a 6-wicket defeat to hosts India in Chennai.
Batting first, Australia were undone by India's spin trio of Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav on a slow wicket, only posting 199 all out before India chased the target down with some ease in the end, although the result was not without its share of drama as India were reduced to 2/3 inside 2 overs.
Their next opponents will be South Africa, on 12 October. The Proteas opened their account in the World Cup with a crushing victory over Sri Lanka in Delhi, posting 428/5 before bowling their opponents out for 326 in a high-scoring, if one-sided, game.
