IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report
IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report | IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction Today | Vizag Pitch Report
Australia named a very long batting lineup for the first ODI, but it counted for little as they were bundled out for just 188. Mitchell Marsh (81) aside, the Australians struggled for any rhythm, with a number of their players clearly lacking in match fitness and awareness.
That being said, the Australians fought back with the ball thanks to Mitchell Starc, who further confirmed his status as one of the great ODI bowlers. But, as has been the case in recent times, KL Rahul stepped up as India’s number five once again, with great support from man of the match Ravindra Jadeja.
So, what does the second ODI have in store? Both sides have room for improvement but also cause for optimism. Australia’s tendency to collapse in India is something they must sort out in a World Cup year, while India can take great confidence that their middle order can adjust to whatever the top order delivers.
While this series is not the be all and end all, it is never nice for Australia to lose a duel against one of their great rivals. A solid and improved performance will be the order of the day.
