India are all set to take on Australia in the 2nd ODI of this three-match series at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. India will be looking to seal the series, after winning the first match on Friday.
In the previous match, Australia were put in to bat but failed to put in a convincing performance. After Mitchell Marsh was dismissed early, several batters got starts, and David Warner went on to make 52 but the visitors were eventually bowled out for 276. Mohammed Shami was the star turn with the ball, picking up 5/51.
In reply, India rode on a fantastic opening partnership of 142 off just 130 balls between Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad before half-centuries from captain KL Rahul (58*) and Suryakumar Yadav (50) helped India get over the line with 8 balls to spare.
