Virat Kohli was engaged in a contentious DRS decision off the bowling of Matthew Kuhnemann. This occurred on the third delivery of the 50th over when Kohli was out LBW. The ball struck both the bat and the pad at the same time, but there was no solid evidence that the ball struck the pad first. Australia won the toss and chose to bat first. The Australians were knocked out for 263 runs, with Mohammad Shami getting four wickets and spin twins Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja both taking three. Usman Khawaja led the way for the visitors with an 81-run half-century, while Peter Handscomb batted admirably in the middle order and finished unbeaten on 72.
