IND vs AUS Live Score: Here’s what Pat Cummins said at the toss

“I am feeling really good. I have been out for a while but now I have been playing for the last two months, feels good to be back and traveling with the team. It feels great to play in a home WC, you don’t get to play home WCs but we are the lucky ones. Australia are a very good side, we played them recently, and it is going to be a cracking contest. The feeling is quite relaxed, we have played a lot of cricket recently, when the warm up games were washed out, the players tried to relax and refresh. Basically the preparation stays the same, try and give your best, try to keep things simple and back your strengths, enjoy the occasion as you don’t get to play a lot of WCs. It is starting at 2 o clock, it is going to be a little hot but we are looking forward to it and hopefully things go our way.”

IND vs AUS Live Score: Mohammed Siraj’s brilliance

Called “Big Show” for his explosive batting, Maxwell has been a white-ball star for the Australian team and has hit the right note on his return from an injury.

He also struck an impressive 77 in the team’s second warm-up against Pakistan and skipper Pat Cummins said the all-rounders are “gold” in ODI cricket.

The 36-year-old swashbuckling opener remains key to providing a good start to his team in the big match and be a driving force for the five-time winners in what could be his last World Cup. The left-handed batsman, who has more than 6,300 ODI runs and 20 centuries, was in good form with three half-centuries in the recent ODI series which the tourists lost 2-1 in India.
