In their debut match, Australia attempted something against India and got off to one of their worst World Cup beginnings.

With the ball, Josh Hazlewood had a superb day, taking three wickets for 38 runs in nine overs. Mitchell Starc completed eight over while also taking one wicket. India defeated the opposition by a margin of six wickets in 41.2 overs while chasing down the 200-run total.
One of the most memorable beginnings to a World Cup was made by South Africa. With the support of hundreds from Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, and Aiden Markram against Sri Lanka, they scored 428 runs for the cost of five wickets. In the ODI World Cup, it was the highest team total. Sri Lanka gave it their all and played well with the bat. They were bowled out for 326 runs in 44.5 overs, which resulted in a 102-run defeat.
There have now been six ODI World Cup matches between Australia and South Africa. Australia has three victories, South Africa has two, and one match has a tie result. South Africa defeated Australia in the 2019 World Cup’s final match by 10 runs, scoring 325 runs total.
