India laid down an impressive marker at the 2019 Cricket World Cup on Sunday as they beat Australia by 36 runs at The Oval in London.

Batting first, all of India's top order made key contributions as they finished 352 for five from their 50 overs. Shikhar Dhawan's was the key knock as he scored 117 from 109 balls.

In response, defending champions Australia simply could not find the rhythm needed to complete what would have been a record chase in a World Cup.

They eventually finished 316 all out—Adam Zampa was caught off the last ball of the innings—to suffer their first defeat of the tournament.

India, meanwhile, have two wins from two and are now third in the standings.

Sunday Recap

India won the toss and opted to bat first. They did not make a fast start, hitting just 41 runs off the first 10 overs, but crucially they lost no wickets either.

Dhawan and Rohit Sharma built a brilliant base, keeping the scoreboard ticking over and frustrating the Australian bowlers:

The CricViz Analyst @cricvizanalyst
Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are providing India with a superb start here but they are going about things in different ways. Against the quicks Rohit has played 70% on the front foot while Dhawan has preferred to play back to 53% of his deliveries. #CWC19

Sharma eventually fell for a 70-ball 57 in the 24th over as he was caught by Alex Carey off the bowling of Nathan Coulter-Nile.

That did little to interrupt India's momentum, as Virat Kohli came to the crease and simply picked up where Sharma had left off.

Dhawan's fantastic knock was ended by Mitchell Starc in the 37th over, but he had done more than enough to lay the foundations of a huge score:

Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha
Don't underestimate the importance of the Dhawan innings. Allowed Rohit and Kohli to ease themselves in and set the scene for Pandya.

Hardik Pandya came to the crease and hit 48 from 27 balls, including three sixes, before he was caught by Aaron Finch.

That brought MS Dhoni together with Kohli in the middle, and the pair duly produced an explosive finish before both being dismissed in the final over:

ICC @ICC
Rohit 57 (70) Dhawan 117 (109) Kohli 82 (77) Pandya 48 (27) Dhoni 27 (14) 🔥 from #TeamIndia to post 352/5. Australia will need a record World Cup chase to win this! #INDvAUS SCORECARD 👇 https://t.co/tdWyb7lIw6 https://t.co/TCV7b02PBc

Australia started their chase well. It was largely measured, but then Finch opened his shoulders to finish the 10-over powerplay with a six and two fours to propel his side to 48 for no wicket.

The Australia captain looked in good nick, but he was then run out for 36 by Kedar Jadhav after David Warner called a speculative second run in the 14th over.

Warner looked completely out of sorts. He managed to pass 50, but it was off a pedestrian 77 balls. It was no surprise when he was caught at deep mid-wicket in the 25th over as he tried to up his scoring rate:

Will Macpherson @willis_macp
56 from 84 chasing 353, and a hand in running out Aaron Finch. That looks a pretty miserable innings from David Warner #INDvAUS

The CricViz Analyst @cricvizanalyst
David Warner really struggled today - he battled through a tough opening spell from the quicks but couldn't accelerate against the spin despite increased attacking intent from 32% to 37%. Across his innings he only played one well timed shot against the spinners. #CWC19

Some fantastic Indian bowling strangled Steve Smith (69 from 70 balls) and Usman Khawaja (42 from 39) in the middle overs, with the latter eventually being bowled by Jasprit Bumrah in the 37th while attempting an unconvincing ramp shot.

That left Australia 202 for three and struggling, but Glenn Maxwell provided some brief hope as he opened his account with three fours in four balls.

He and Smith combined to score 28 runs from the 38th and 39th overs.

But then Bhuvneshwar Kumar got the ball in hand and trapped Smith lbw in the 40th over before bowling Marcus Stoinis for a duck:

Wisden @WisdenCricket
WICKET: Two in the over for Bhuvi Kumar! First Steve Smith LBW on review, and then he bowls Stoinis for a duck! Australia 238-5. India's game to lose now? #CWC19 #INDvAUS

While Maxwell was at the crease, there was still a glimmer of hope. But he was then well caught by Ravindra Jadeja playing the slog-sweep in the 41st over, and that was effectively that.

Carey went down fighting with a sparkling 35-ball 55 not out, but he was simply left with too much to do.
