The score at the end of that match was 3-2 as the likes of Abhishek, Mandeep Singh and Jugraj Singh getting on the scoresheet for the men in blue.
The Aussies, on the other hand, had to face home favourites England and had to face an uphill battle to beat the three lions in their backyard. The goals for Australia came from Jacob Anderson, Blake Govers and Daniel Beale as they notched a 3-2 result in their favour.
