IND vs AUS Halaplay Prediction | India vs Australia 2nd ODI Match Preview | Team News & Fantasy Team

India were shell-shocked in the T20 series where Australia won both the games. Despite being heavily fancied, the performance from the men in blue was disappointing, to say the least. However, a win in the first ODI has put the home team on the track and they are expected to get back to their best.

Match Details:

Venue – Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Jamtha, Nagpur

Date & Time – 5th March | 01:30 PM IST

The IND vs AUS Halaplay Match Preview

The home team had the onus on them to step up and deliver – and they did. After losing two consecutive T20s in an uninspiring fashion, a strong reaction was anticipated from the Indians. Bowling first, the Indian bowlers did their job as they restricted the Aussies from mounting a big score. Bumrah, Shami and Kuldeep Yadav shone with the ball.

India dealt an early blow in their chase when Dhawan got out on the first ball he faced. Nonetheless, the hosts steadied the ship quickly and the likes of Kohli, Dhoni and Jadhav took India over the finishing line. Jadhav was impressive in his unbeaten 81 run inning and the 33-year-old had previously taken a wicket as well.

As both the nations get ready for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup, the 5-match ODI series will be fiercely contested. The Aussies would be eager to bounce back and avenge their defeat in the second match. India, on the other hand, will be seeking to assert the dominance that was expected of them.
