'We were more motivated to win today because of the fact that we lost the series in India, being 2-0 up, and there was no Mitchell Starc, either. So him coming in makes their bowling lineup even stronger,' Virat Kohli said after defeating Austraila in the ICC World Cup 2019 match

London: Chetan Narula previews India versus Australia for MyNation. On Sunday (June 9), it is a clash of two pre-tournament favourites, the first in this World Cup 2019. Australia come on the back of a superb come-from-the-brink win against West Indies. Their batting has its weaknesses but their bowling is strong. India have a strong bowling attack too, including two wrist-spinners. This could be a straight clash between the two attacks, with batting taking a side show at The Oval. Middle order will be key for both sides.

Nottingham: Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey heaped praise on teammate Mitchell Starc as he took five wickets against West Indies on June 6. Thanks to his superb bowling and Nathan Coulter-Nile’s surprise 92-run knock, the five-time world champions won by 15 runs in the ICC World Cup 2019. With next match against India, Carey said they were focusing on Virat Kohli’s team and described Starc as “dangerous” with the new ball.

Nottingham: Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc was lucky against West Indies as the umpire failed to spot his no-ball and the very next ball he dismissed Chris Gayle. The ICC World Cup 2019 match between the two sides on June 6, was marred by umpiring errors. After the team’s 15-run victory, Starc interacted with journalists. Starc starred with the ball by taking five wickets. With India and Australia set to face off on Sunday (June 9), Starc spoke about the contest and bowling to Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and other batsmen.

Sachin Tendulkar heaped praise on Virat Kohli's proactive captaincy in India-South Africa ICC World Cup 2019 match in Southampton. Thanks to India's fine bowling, South Africa were kept to 227/9. Tendulkar said Jasprit Bumrahh was "special" at the start of the match

Cardiff: Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib reflected on the team’s 34-run loss to Sri Lanka on Tuesday (June 4). The match was curtailed due to rain and the Afghans failed to chase the revised target of 187 after bowling out Sri Lanka for 201. The contest was reduced to 41 overs per side. Naib said they did not bowl well in the opening 10 overs where Sri Lanka scored 79/0. But despite this good start, the Afghans restricted the opposition.

'They are the most watchable team in the tournament (World Cup 2019) with a batting line-up that can kidnap any bowling attack with brute force. No ground is big enough when this behemoth of a batting order clicks into overdrive but they also have a vulnerability against high-quality bowling as they tend to play one dimensional at times,' wrote Steve Waugh

With one of the most fearsome bowling attacks around, Gulbadin Naib is convinced Afghanistan can cause Australia problems if the conditions at the Bristol County Ground are in their favour in their opening match at the ICC World Cup 2019

At the ICC World Cup 2019, India will face South Africa in their first match on June 5. All eyes will be on Yuzvendra Chahal, who will play his first World Cup in the 50-over format. Recently, captain Virat Kohli had called Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav as "two pillars" of Indian bowling attack. Now, a former Pakistan skipper has picked Chahal to be the best in the tournament

KL Rahul is a confidence player and he can destroy any bowling attack on his day. This solid hundred against Bangladesh in Cardiff will give him a lot of confidence going into the World Cup 2019

Under overcast conditions, Trent Boult's (4/33 in 6.2 overs) incisive swing bowling was a test of technique for the Indian top-order batsmen and the ‘Men In Blue’ never recovered from an early collapse, being bowled out for 179 in 39.2 overs. This was India's first warm-up match ahead of the ICC World Cup 2019

Glenn McGrath's bowling record is likely to be not bettered at the ICC World Cup 2019 in England and Wales. The Australian legend tops the bowling charts with 71 wickets. Here are the top-10 bowlers in World Cup history

India captain Virat Kohli spoke about the team's chances at the ICC World Cup 2019 in England and Wales. Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri addressed the media in Mumbai on Tuesday. The team will leave for England tomorrow (May 22). India's first match is against South Africa on June 5

Delhi added 56 runs in the last four overs of the innings and more than good batting, it was very poor bowling by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. It would be fair to say that RCB lost the match in the last three overs of Delhi's innings.
 

Rajasthan made a change in their opening combination, and RA Tripathi came out to open the innings with Jos Buttler. They provided a steady start until Buttler played a loose stroke off debutant Arshdeep Singh’s bowling and threw away his wicket.
