Australia takes on India in the second assignment of the ODI series top eye the Ind vs Aus series win at home. In the first ODI, Australia defeated Men In Blue by 66 runs after an impressive batting show.
Team Preview
Team India will stay in Sydney to face the Aussies in the second match of the ODI series. It will be a do-die clash for India after suffering a big defeat in the opening ODI. After playing an international game after the gap of 8 months, India conceded 374 runs as Finch and Smith scored centuries for Australia. In the chase, India’s top order got a fiery start by adding 50 runs in less than 5 overs but visitors couldn’t take advantage. Dhawan and Pandya took the charge in the massive chase but their heroics couldn’t steal the chase and India lost the match.
Men In Blue need a big comeback to outclass the Aussies and they had previously done in the same year when they won the series after losing the opening game in Mumbai. India is also lacking in the 5th bowling option and picking Pandya as a proper batsman is giving a tough time to Kohli. India needs to play out of their skin to level the series on Sunday.
Meanwhile, confident Australia is ready to wrap up another series and it will be a second straight series win for the hosts in ICC’s CWC Super League. In September, they outperformed England down under. Australia’s top three is in fabulous form and the middle-order is charging by Maxwell who fired in the last game, following his ton on the England tour. The pace trio was not in good touch, excluding Hazlewood.
Zampa is also picking wickets in middle-overs which gave Finch high confidence to try him in flag-overs too. The leg-break bowler has scalped 14 wickets in just 4 matches since the pandemic break. Australia are a more balanced side and India can give them a surprise if the toss comes in favour of the hosts.

Sydney Cricket Ground is a paradise for the batsmen. Spinners can get some help from the surface and pacers can also draw attention with the extra bounce. We expect another 300 plus score on Sunday.
