Australia dominated the first match in Sydney. Aussie batting line-up was ruthless against Indian bowlers. Bumrah, Saini and Chahal were the victims of Australian onslaught. However, India will be looking to mend the mistakes made in the first match. India's fielding will be a crucial point in the second match to keep the series alive.
India's batting effort was decent and was off to a great start. But the players could not cope up with the pressure and kept losing wickets. Australia, on the other hand, will aim to seal the series against India. The hosts seem confident with both bat and bowl. In the previous ODI series between the two, India won the series 2-1.
Weather, during the match, will be decent. However, there are chances of rain interruptions in the evening.
