Watson also getting into it, 70 off 33 the partnership already.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: India will be concerned now. Ben Dunk looking in great form, and Shane Watson whacking one a long way too.

Onto 94/1 after 9. Where's the breakthrough? Strategic timeout to think it through.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Ben Dunk with some intent early in his innings. A couple of boundaries and a couple of big sixes off the spinners, he's Australia's key to keep it moving against them in the middle overs.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Naman Ojha will be feeling much better now! March was looking good, but just walks past one from Negi, and Ojha is sharp behind the stumps.

38/1 after 5, that breakthrough was coming with the pressure.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Spin introduced very early and it's quietened things down early on here. Pawan Negi and Rahul Sharma not letting anything slip, 1 run over from Rahul to boot.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Not the start Naman Ojha wanted with the gloves in this game! Thick edge off Mithun, and Ojha can't react in time. He should have taken that one, and Watson has a reprieve. Finishes the over with a fine straight drive and a flick off the legs.

23/0 after 2.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Rapid start for Shaun Marsh, clips a couple wayward ones and drives another through the offside. Kumar off-radar.

14/0 off the first.

Ready to go in Vadodara, Vinay Kumar with the new ball.

IND: Sachin Tendulkar (c), Naman Ojha (wk), Irfan Pathan, Pawan Negi, Saurabh Tiwary, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Yusuf Pathan, Stuart Binny, Abhimanyu Mithun, Rahul Sharma, Vinay Kumar

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: India set to chase for a third game in a row, as Tendulkar wins the toss and opts to bowl first. A couple of changes for India in this match, team updates up next.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Out of the Australian lineup, the bowlers won't be particularly concerning to the batting, having seen what the Windies and Sri Lanka have managed.

In the batting, the likes of Watson, Shaun Marsh, and Christian are capable of winning matches. India's one shaky moment came in the middle order against Sri Lanka - will Christian be the one to recreate that threat?

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: India has the sort of batting where everyone has chipped in, but Gurkeerat Singh Mann is the surprising leader of their scoring with 107 runs. He is 60 behind leader Hashim Amla, and could have an eye on that title. Shane Watson, captain for Australia, is even closer, 44 runs behind Amla. Can either of them take that title?

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: 30 mins to the toss, and an hour for the start of play. Both teams might continue to prefer chasing, it's been a tournament that has favoured that throughout.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025:

Shane Watson (c), Shaun Marsh, Ben Dunk (wk), Daniel Christian, Nathan Reardon, Ben Cutting, Peter Nevill, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Xavier Doherty, Ben Hilfenhaus, Ben Laughlin, Callum Ferguson, Bryce McGain, Jason Krejza, James Pattinson

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025:

Ambati Rayudu (wk), Sachin Tendulkar (c), Irfan Pathan, Pawan Negi, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Stuart Binny, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Dhawal Kulkarni, Abhimanyu Mithun, Rahul Sharma, Saurabh Tiwary, Naman Ojha, Suresh Raina, Vinay Kumar, Shahbaz Nadeem

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: For both these teams, one area that neither will be concerned about is the middle-order hitting. Yusuf Pathan leads the strike-rate charts after just one innings, while he has able support from Yuvraj Singh and Stuart Binny, both of whom have looked great. Similarly, Australia's charge is led by Dan Christian, and have Ben Dunk and Ben Cutting to support him as six-hitters.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: While Navi Mumbai was more or less a guarantee of runs, the matches in the BCA Stadium have seen plenty of variation. High scoring chases, low scoring first innings, and a balanced, closely-fought 150-odd game. It's hard to predict what to expect, but these are two teams that have enjoyed their batting, and have shown themselves to be capable of big scores. Might be more of the same.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: All departments have delivered so far for India - including fielding, which you would cut these older legends some slack for, but catching has been safe and ground fielding alert. The ability to have a stable top order, a destructive middle order, extended batting, and plenty of options with both pace and spin due to all-rounders, has made India a very good-looking T20 squad.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: A loss will most likely spell the end of the campaign for Australia, whose poor start means they already need plenty of results to go their way. 4 points won't be enough to qualify, and at the moment, every match is a must-win for Shane Watson's men. This team would be right to be disappointed: they are far too good to be out of the running this early in the proceedings.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: The India Masters entered this tournament looking like the on-paper favourites with the strongest team in home conditions, and they have lived up to that. They sit alone on 6 points, and could open up a gulf between themselves and Sri Lanka and West Indies, behind on 4. India will seal their qualification if they haven't done so already, and the pressure will be eased against a hard-hitting and powerful West Indies in the last match of the league stage.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Dhawal Kulkarni has been at the forefront of the Indian bowling, impeccably accurate, good at restricting runs, and also a capable wicket-taker. He has 5 wickets in this tournament, outright leading that category, and will look to add on with plenty of support from the likes of Irfan Pathan and India's spinners.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: A couple of batting failures sandwiching a fluent cameo for Sachin so far in this tournament. The Little Master has batted well, but briefly, throughout this tournament, not really leaving an impact so far. That is something he will be hungry to change, and who better to do it against than Australia, the team that dominated his era on the international stage? Fans in Vadodara will be expecting plenty.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: The Australia Masters have had two terrific batting performances to put on well over 200 in both their matches, but found that total hunted down first by the Windies, then by Sri Lanka. There won't be a lot of confidence amongst the bowlers, but they are the ones who will need to step up and support their batters if Australia want to get on the board.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: After a Rahul Sharma hat-trick decimated South Africa in the first appearance of his tournament, India comfortably chased down 86 to make it three wins out of three matches in this tournament.

They are sitting on top of the table, and could send themselves clear with a fourth win against the Aussies.

India Masters vs Australia Masters Live Score, IML 2025: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of IND vs AUS IML 2025 match in Vadodara! Sachin Tendulkar's men are yet to concede a defeat in the tournament, and they would aim at keeping the record intact on Wednesday, as they face a struggling Australian side.
