India Provide a Timely Reminder
Australia got their 2019 World Cup campaign off and running with a simple win over Afghanistan on the opening day of the month. As close to a perfect opponent as the Aussies could’ve hoped for, they got the desired result and looked good doing so, but the beaten side handled themselves with credit and proved there will be no easy games this summer. The days of whipping boys at major international competitions are over and every nation involved in the World Cup are here on merit.
The Aussies followed that seven wickets win over lowly Afghanistan with a 15-run cheer vs West Indies on matchday two. A better effort was required to get themselves over the line that day, but they were deserving winners of the match and put in a performance that gave a timely boost to their confidence. Australia smashed their way to a score of 288 all out and that was a target the West Indies couldn’t chase down, ending 273-9. An entertaining match and one that showed us just what this Oz team is all about.
Their perfect start was to come to a shuddering halt in game three, however, when falling to a 36 runs defeat to India in what was a gripping contest from the first ball. Australia put up 316 all out but, on this occasion, that wasn’t enough to stop an opponent firing on all cylinders with India responding with a score of 352-5. A lesson learned that day, Australia reminded they still have much work to do if they are to compete against top level opposition.
