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

India and Australia are set to face each other in the second game of the three-match ODI series on Sunda (March 19). Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam will host the contest.

India started their campaign in the ODI series on a healthy note after beating the Aussies by five wickets in their opening game on Friday (March 17) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Ishan Kishan opened the batting in Rohit Sharma’s absence and scored three runs before Marcus Stoinis dismissed him.

Rohit, who missed the first game due to personal reasons, is expected to replace Kishan. Shubman Gill showed promise in his 20-run knock, but failed to carry on. Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav faltered and will want to make amends. But it was KL Rahul who gave it his all in the match.

After India were struggling at 83-5 while chasing 189, Rahul scored 75 runs off 91 balls with seven fours and a six. Ravindra Jadeja also impressed on his ODI return, scoring 45 runs and putting on 108 runs for the sixth wicket along with Rahul.

Mitchell Marsh and Mitchell Starc were big positives for the Aussies. Marsh opened the batting for the first time and scored 81 off 65, Starc picked up three crucial wickets of Gill, Kohli, and Suryakumar.
