India vs Australia, 2nd ODI – IND vs AUS Cricket Match Preview, Prediction, Where To Watch, Probable 11 And Fantasy 11 Tips

Team India would look to clinch the 3-match ODI series against Australia after comfortably winning the 1st game. 

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: Match Preview:

Team India started off the 3-match series in style as they won the first game by 5 wickets at Wankhede, building a 1-0 lead. Chasing 189 runs, the top order collapsed as Ishan Kishan (3), Shubman Gill (20), Virat Kohli (4) and Suryakumar Yadav (0) departed early. However, KL Rahul (75*) and Ravindra Jadeja (45*) stood up as India chased the target in 39.5 overs. Captain Hardik Pandya also contributed with 25 runs. 

It was the bowlers who set the game up for India. The pace duo of Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj grabbed 3 wickets each not to let any Australian batters apart from Mitchell Marsh settle on the crease. Ravindra Jadeja registered 2 wickets to his name while Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav managed 1 wicket each. 

Australian batters had a disappointing day as they were bowled out for their lowest ODI first innings total in India. Opener Mitchell Marsh was the only one who stood up, scoring 81 runs off just 65 balls. Josh Inglis and Steve Smith contributed with 26 and 22 runs respectively while Marnus Labuschagne (15) and Cameron Green (12) managed to get starts but couldn't convert.

Defending just 189 runs, ace pacer Mitchell Starc breathed fire as he dismissed three out of the top four opposition batters. Marcu Stoinis got rid of Ishan Kishan in the 2nd over and later also managed to dismiss Hardik Pandya. However, Australia ultimately fell short with fewer runs to defend and well-settled KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja on the crease.
