The hosts did a get exceptional start to their innings, but experienced a minor stutter later on in the run chase, when Renuka Thakur struck twice in the same over, before coasting to victory in 16.2 overs.
Debutant opener Georgia Voll played a decent knock of unbeaten 46 runs off 42 balls and make sure that the hosts record a comfortable win. Notably, India have lost all five previous ODIs to Australia and will have to fire on all cylinders if they are to avert defeat in the second game which would hand Australia an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Australia have won all five of their last five ODIs, while India have lost two of their previous five 50-over games.
