India:269 / 10 (49)| Live Cricket Score, Today Match BetweenIndia vs Australia:- Zee News

The duo of Mitchell MarshÂ and Travis HeadÂ scored 68 for the first wicket but the middle order failed to capitalize on a brilliant platform laid by the openers. The introduction of Hardik PandyaÂ into the attack helped the hosts as he changed the game by scalping 3 wickets in quick succession. The lower middle order along with the
