Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were understandably rusty, and the entire team appeared undercooked as Shubman Gill got off to a losing start as India's one-day international captain. In a rain-affected series opener in Perth, India were hammered by seven wickets, with Australia chasing a revised target of 131 in just 21.1 overs. India were comfortably outclassed in the format as their eight-match winning run in ODIs came to a grinding halt.
Mitchell Marsh played a captain's knock, hitting an unbeaten 46 as Australia crossed the finish line without breaking a sweat in the game, which was reduced to 26 overs per side. It was Australia's first ODI victory at Optus Stadium after defeats to England, South Africa and Pakistan at the venue in recent years.
