India Vs Australia 2nd ODI Stats
3 min readIn a second ODI against Australia that was postponed due to rain, India defeated Australia by 99 runs thanks to a 200-run partnership between Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav’s masterclass, and Ashwin’s three-wicket haul. They had a 2-0 series win.
The visitors won the toss and decided to bowl first in this game. Ruturaj Gaikwad was gone early on for India as Josh Hazlewood gave Australia their first wicket. With a 200-run partnership for the second wicket, Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill set the tone for the home team. Both players went on to score their individual century, with Gill hitting 104 and Iyer scoring 105 runs, respectively.
KL Rahul, the team’s captain, and Suryakumar Yadav, who scored 52 and 72 runs, respectively, startled the crowd with their brutal power-hitting. India scored 399/5 thanks to Ishan Kishan’s 18-ball 31, who also contributed. Sean Abbott went for 91 runs in his 10 overs and took one wicket, while Cameron Green finished his costly spell at 2/103 after his pricey 10 overs. Good spells were bowled by Hazlewood and Zampa.
Australia, which was attempting to chase a mammoth 400, got off to a disastrous start when Prasidh Struck dismissed Steven Smith for a golden duck and Matthew Short for 4 in the span of two balls. Before the rain started, Australia was in the fight at 56/2. As a result, the game’s total overs were decreased to 33, and the target was set at 317.
Before Ravichandran Ashwin bowled out Marnus Labuschagne, David Warner and Labuschagne scored 80 runs together for the third wicket. After hitting 53 runs, Warner quickly perished after being caught LBW by Ashwin. Josh Inglis also perished in the following over, becoming Ashwin’s third victim. Sean Abbott (54) and Josh Hazlewood scored 77 runs together for the ninth wicket, but their partnership did little more than narrow Australia’s final score of 217, which was enough to lose the second ODI of the series by 99 runs.
