During his innings, Smith also completed five thousand runs in ODIs. He departed for a well-made 74 off 61 balls, including eight fours and a six.

Earlier in the Rajkot ODI, Australia chose to bat first and got off to a strong start with openers David Warner and Mitchell Marsh putting up a solid partnership of 78 runs before Warner was dismissed by Prasidh Krishna in the ninth over.

Steve Smith then joined Marsh, and together they formed an impressive partnership, adding 137 runs for the second wicket. Australia finished their innings at 352/7, with Warner scoring 56, Marsh 96, and Smith and Labuschagne contributing 74 and 72, respectively. India's Jasprit Bumrah stood out as the top bowler, taking three wickets after a poor start with the ball.

In response, India had a promising start with Rohit Sharma showcasing his vintage form. However, after losing their first wicket at 74, both Rohit and Virat Kohli were dismissed by Glenn Maxwell after a good partnership, pushing India to the back foot. Rohit was dismissed for 81, while Kohli got out soon after reaching his half-century. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul tried to accelerate the scoring in the middle, but they were also dismissed, leading to India's eventual loss in the match.
