IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: In the Adelaide ODI, Australia defeated India by 2 wickets and captured the three-match series. In the first match played in Perth, the host team had defeated India. After this, in the second match, India batted first and gave a target of 265 runs, which Australia achieved with 2 wickets in hand.

The Indian team, who came to bat first, once again had a bad start. Captain Shubhman Gill was out after scoring 9 runs on the ball of Xavier Bartlett. After this, star batsman Virat Kohli returned to the pavilion without opening his account. This was the first time in Kohli’s ODI career, when he was out without opening the account in two consecutive matches. However, after this, Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer took over the team and also started scoring runs at a rapid pace.

Rohit-Iyer’s half-century innings was in vain

After Rohit (73) was out, Akshar Patel showed his hands and played an inning of 44 runs. Iyer also played an important inning of 61 runs. But, after this, wickets kept falling continuously and India fell behind the score of 300 runs. In the end, a partnership of 37 runs between Harshit Patel and Arshdeep took India’s score beyond 250. In this way, India scored 264 runs in its innings after losing 9 wickets.

Australia captured the series

In reply, Australia also had a bad start. Captain Marsh was out after scoring 11 runs. After this, Short (74) along with Travis Head (28) continued scoring runs. Cooper Conley played an unbeaten inning of 61 runs in the middle order. But the biggest difference was made by Owen’s quick-fire party of 36 runs.

Owen snatched the match from the hands of Team India by scoring 36 runs in 23 balls. In the end, the Indian bowlers tried to make a comeback in the match by taking 3 wickets, but if there had been a few more runs, perhaps better results could have been achieved. In the 47th over, Australia achieved the target of 265 runs with two wickets in hand and captured the series.

India has now lost the three-match ODI series. In such a situation, India would like to win the match to be played in Sydney on October 25 and avoid a clean sweep.
