IND vs AUS, 2nd ODI Preview

The second ODI in the India vs Australia series takes place on Sunday afternoon and evening in Vizag, Andhra Pradesh. The hosts are 1-0 up after securing a five wicket win in a low-scoring encounter at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday. India were not at their best, particularly in the early part of their innings with the bat in the first ODI. However, they still found a way to win and we expect them to be too strong again in this fixture. Australia will have been very disappointed that they managed to lose Friday’s game after finding themselves in strong positions in both innings. Once again, we expect them to be competitive in this match.

The pitch in Vizag may well offer a bit more for the spinners that we saw at the Wankhede Stadium. However, expect the top pace bowlers to still be dangerous on this surface.

Topmost Picks for IND vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, 2nd ODI:

Top Picks – India

• Virat Kohli – The right-handed top order batter comes into this game after hitting 186 in last week’s Test Match. He also hit 113 and 166 not out against Sri Lanka in the 50 over format earlier this year.
• Shubman Gill – The young opener has been in fantastic form in ODIs this year with scores of 70, 116, 208 and 112 already in this format in 2023.

Top Picks – Australia

• Steve Smith – The captain did not make a half-century across the Test series but often made a good start in his innings. He will not take unnecessary risks but will score at a good rate.
• Mitchell Starc – The left-arm pace bowler came back into the Test side for the last two games but will be particularly dangerous with his inswinging yorkers in the final overs of India’s innings.

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Probable Winners:

Friday’s opening ODI was very entertaining and we could well be in for another exciting game on Sunday. It was India’s greater experience of the conditions with the bat and the ball which meant they got home comfortably in Mumbai. However, there were signs that Australia could certainly cause problems across the rest of the series if Mitchell Marsh gets going with the bat and Mitchell Starc with the ball again. Rohit Sharma will make India a stronger team and we are predicting another win for India in Sunday’s match. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
