Australia Snaps India's ODI Streak, Leads 1-0

A rain‑marred Perth opener was reduced to 26 overs, with the Duckworth‑Lewis‑Stern method setting a revised Australia target of 131. India were limited to 136/9 after an early top‑order collapse that saw Rohit Sharma (8), Virat Kohli (0) and Shubman Gill (10) fall cheaply; KL Rahul (38) and Axar Patel (31) provided resistance while debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy finished unbeaten on 19. Australia chased the revised target in 21.1 overs for a seven‑wicket win as captain Mitchell Marsh made an unbeaten 46, supported by Josh Philippe (37) and Matt Renshaw (21*). Josh Hazlewood (2/20) and Matthew Kuhnemann (2/26) were the main wicket‑takers for Australia. The victory gives Australia a 1–0 lead in the three‑match series, with the second ODI scheduled in Adelaide on October 23.
