Dawid Malan's magnificent 134 off only 128 deliveries went in vain as all-round Australia produced a stellar performance to clinch the opening game against England by six wickets in the first match of the three-match ODI series here at Adelaide Oval on Thursday.
Australia chased down the target in 46.5 overs, courtesy of brilliant fifties from David Warner, Travis Head and Steve Smith to go 1-0 up in the three-match ODI series.

Following defending champions' early exit from the T20 World Cup, a full-strength squad has been announced for the three-match series against England in Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne which will be Pat Cummins' first series as ODI captain.
