Facing a quality pace bowling attack, India were rocked early after losing the openers and Deepak Hooda early in Perth. In the absence of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav once again took the responsibility to take his team to a respectable total.
The Mumbai-born stalwart stitched small partnerships with Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik to steer his side clear of danger. He eventually reached his half-century, top scoring for India. The Men in Blue eventually managed 158 on the board, which proved to be enough in the end.
