The left-right-handed combination worked for Australia, as the duo scored runs calculatively. In the initial phase of their partnership, the two batters played watchfully. Later on, they got settled in the middle and launched an attack on India. While Labuschagne anchored the innings of Australia, Head took the attack on India and took the game away from India.

Following the loss, Rohit Sharma was seen crying. The Indian captain shed tears, as he could not digest the loss.
