For the Australian team, josh Hazlewood took 4 wickets and was amazing. Due to this, the Australian team's hands were seen to be heavy. After this, the Usman Khawaja - McSweeney partnership gave the Australian team the start. Many were expecting what the debutant McSweeney's game would be like.
But McSweeney stumbled from the beginning when facing the indian team's bumrah ball. McSweeney was out for 10 runs in the 2nd over bowled by Bumrah. When the on-field umpire did not give out, bumrah and virat kohli decided to take the DRS together and went to appeal. At that time, all 3 red lights were thrown and he was given out immediately. The Labuschagne - Khawaja partnership continued. Since Labuschagne has an excellent record at the Perth stadium, it was imperative to get him out quickly. But he too was unable to deal with bumrah and was left with no other option, so Usman Khawaja came forward and prepared to data-face Bumrah. Knowing this, bumrah decided to bowl from round the wicket at the last minute.
This left Khawaja in a dilemma to defend the balls bowled by Bumrah. As he edged the first ball, it did not get carried into the fielder's hands. But on the 4th ball bowled by bumrah, Khawaja's bat hit him and fell straight into Virat Kohli's hands. As a result, he was dismissed for 8 runs, and star player steve smith entered the field next. Thus, the fans got ready to watch the match as bumrah vs Steve Smith. But bumrah dismissed steve smith LBW on the first ball and sent him to the pavilion. steve smith did not even try to review it.
