India vs Australia, 2nd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

India registered a clinical win over the Aussies in the first match of the three-match series at Mohali, breaking the Mohali-jinx against the Aussies. This is India’s first win against Aussies at Mohali in seven ODIs since 1996. The action now moves to Indore for the second ODI.

Both teams had some of their key players missing out. India rested the likes of Kohli, Rohit, Siraj, and Kuldeep and Australia benched Starc, Hazlewood, and Maxwell due to fitness concerns.

However, a number of fringe players who would not have been a part of the first-choice XI doing exceedingly well creates a problem of plenty for both sides going into the World Cup.

Though Australia lost, they have a lot of positives to take from the game. The form of David Warner augurs well for the side and Josh Inglish fitting in as a finisher makes the batting unit even more formidable. They will look to improve on their new ball bowling for the next game.

India will want some valuable time on the crease for the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja, with the former not having much match practice off late and the latter not in great form.

Suraykumar finally seemed to find his mojo in ODI cricket in the last game and will look to continue the same to cement a place in the XI in the World Cup.

India vs Australia Match Prediction

Australia will continue without the services of Maxwell, Hazlewood, and Starc, as mentioned by Cummins in the last game, which makes the Aussie bowling attack a bit on the weaker side. Despite missing their experienced players, India will start as favorites.

Prediction: The team batting first to win the match
