ICC Cricket World Cup: India vs Australia, Match 14 Highlights: Shikhar Dhawan’s classy hundred and a quality bowling effort powered India to a 36-run victory over Australia, denying two fallen heroes a fairytale script while sounding a warning bell for their opponents in the World Cup on Sunday. The legend of Dhawan in ICC tournaments continued to grow as his stylish 117 formed the cornerstone of a fantastic batting display that propelled India to a commanding 352 for five. In reply, Australia never looked like getting there as they managed only 316 in 50 overs with Steve Smith (69 off 70 balls) and David Warner’s (56 off 84 balls) half-centuries being of little consequence. (SCORECARD)
Australia (Playing XI): David Warner, Aaron Finch(c), Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey(w), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa
India (Playing XI): Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli(c), Lokesh Rahul, MS Dhoni(w), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah

SHIKHAR DHAWAN HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH!
Comprehensive win by India to get their second successive victory in this World Cup. Won an important toss, put up a high total and then bowled exceedingly well to defend.
IND vs AUS Live Cricket Score And Updates: OUT! In the air… taken! Three-fer for Bhuvneshwar Kumar. It is the slower one on off, Zampa looks to loft it over mid off but does not get the timing right. An easy catch for Jadeja, the substitute. AUSTRALIA HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 316! INDIA WIN THE MATCH BY 36 RUNS! Smith 69, Carey 55*, Bhuvneshwar 3/50, Bumrah 3/61
Carey flicks this away to the leg side for a single and that is the FASTEST HALF CENTURY IN THIS WORLD CUP. Just 25 balls faced by Carey. Something to smile about for Australia. Australia 312/8 in 49 overs vs India (352/5)
FOUR! Finally he connects. Cummins has been trying for the last couple of balls to try and guide the ball behind point. After failing in the last over, he finally connects this time, getting it behind point. Australia 295/7 in 46.4 overs, need 58 runs to win vs India (352/5)
IND vs AUS Live Cricket Score And Updates: OUT! NCN departs for 4, it was not his day as he failed to repeat his heroics of Nottingham. Not his day at all. Kept swinging, slashing but not connecting. Finally got a slower ball that he could connect. But sadly for him, he found Virat Kohli to perfection at deep mid-wicket. Kohli is pumped up after that catch. India edging closer to a massive win. Australia 285/7 in 46 overs vs India (352/5)
Chahal gets another and Team India are closing in on their second victory!
Substitute Ravindra Jadeja takes a fine catch running in off the boundary.
FOUR! Very nicely played! Good adjustment. Carey backs away to the leg side and Bumrah angles in a short ball from around the wicket. Now, Alex initially looks to pull but at the last moment, guides it over the keeper to the third man fence!
Excellent use of the feet! He gets to the pitch of the ball and tonks it over the bowler’s head for a biggie. 15 runs from the over. Australia 270/6 in 43 overs, need 83 runs to win vs India (352/5)
FOUR! In the gap! Brings the sweep out, hits it in the air but in the gap at the mid-wicket region. Carey not going down without a fight.
