Match highlights video
Virat Kohli was caught off guard by the beautiful bounce and ended up giving up an easy catch for a 4-ball duck.
The Australian team has recalled their star pacer Mitchell Starc, who replaces Ashton Agar in the playing XI. Starc missed the previous game against Afghanistan but returns for this must-win match against India. On the other side, India remains unchanged in their playing XI.
Pitch report
St. Lucia, known for its high humidity, remains the favored island for batting during this World Cup.
The Daren Sammy Cricket Ground has been a thriving venue for most teams, making it an ideal setting for this intense battle, especially with the stakes so high.
There was a heavy shower overnight on the island, but it is expected to clear out even if it is set to be a rather windy morning.
