Bad weather will favour Indian bowlers: Kapil Dev

In the 18^th over, Dhawan brought up his maiden fifty in the ongoing World Cup off 53 delivers. A couple of overs later, Indian vice-captain Rohit Sharma slammed the second consecutive 50-plus score of the tournament. He notched up his half-century off 61 balls.

 The Indian openers continued troubling the Aussie attack until the 23^rd over when Nathan Coulter-Nile struck to draw the first blood and sent back Rohit to the dressing room. The HITMAN edged a delivery which was rising off the deck and ended up getting caught by stumper Alex Carrey.
