Australia’s seven-wicket win in a rain-truncated opening ODI here on Sunday was indeed set up by taking wickets upfront, but spinner Matthew Kuhnemann backed India to bounce back strongly after a heavy loss in the first game of the tour.

When asked if it felt like an away game and that Australia were able to silence the crowd, Kuhnemann told the media after the game, “Yeah, especially when you come up against a team like this when all their batters are world-class and legends of the game and so, especially to get wickets upfront, [it] makes a massive difference.”
