After a rain-interrupted game in Perth, fierce rivals India and Australia move to the long-lasting Adelaide Oval for the second ODI of the series on Thursday, October 23. Intermittent rains in the primary half dealt India an unfair blow as Shubman Gill’s men found no momentum to their innings and finished with an underpar rating, which the hosts chased down.
Because the weather spiced up the pitch in Perth, premier seamers Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc found extra lift and seam movement off their deliveries. The duo ruined the comebacks of giants Rohit Sharma (8) and Virat Kohli (0), sending them back in the primary eight overs of play.
While an in-form Gill appeared to have the measure of the conditions, he was unlucky to edge one down the leg of third seamer Nathan Ellis on 10.
From there, India never found any rhythm to their innings amidst frustrating weather conditions. The visitors were forced to up the ante immediately after each resumption attributable to the reduction in overs and lost wickets in the method.
Of the remainder of the batters, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul (38) and all-rounder Axar Patel (31) were the one ones who appeared to have some control.
Once India finished 136/9 off their 26 overs with the bat, the result was a foregone conclusion. Luckier of the 2 sides, Australia enjoyed the perfect of the weather conditions and will bat with a transparent tempo.
Australia did lose Travis Head (8) and Matthew Short (8) early within the chase, but skipper Mitchell Marsh’s unbeaten 46 and free-flowing innings from Josh Philippe (37) and Matt Renshaw (21*) steered them through with the perfect a part of five overs remaining.
The end in Perth has given Australia the prospect to seal the ODI series with one other victory in Adelaide, where India can be hoping to bounce back strongly.
Adelaide Weather Forecast

Temperatures are expected to hover between 11 degrees Celsius and 15 degrees Celsius in what are still very early days of the Australian summer, with humidity nudging near 80 per cent and the wind exceeding speeds of 10 km/hour.
Fans can expect a full game, which supplies the 2 sides a good opportunity to showcase their mettle.
