After two quick wickets Australians again in command Marsh and Handscomb both doing their job slowly and steadily look like this match is going to be very interesting but in my view your bet for India is not good because I have bet on Australia as odds was @2.20  

eh!
Seems like time favouring you. India could add more 20 - 30 runs easily and that could help them to fight harder. Come on India. Get some quick wickets. Please please please ;-)

Just kidding. I don't mind if I lose. I am enjoying the match. Good luck to you Indymoney.

Edit:
Another wicket down! YES!!

Australia can still do this if they maintain wickets . If Maxwell stays in the crease then it will get easier and easier for the Aussies , they just need to rotate the strike without loosing the wicket at the moment.

India taking wickets in crucial moments. Maxwell gone

Currently we have two very interesting ODI's and both are doing very good for visitors Ireland is chasing 256 once they was 126/4 now they are in commanding position with 205/4 and 54 runs needing 48 balls remaining look like my 3$ bet is going to give me 40$ 
Second match is balanced as Australia lost very quickly few wickets but still can chase the target as Handscomb and Stonis both capable of doing good batting in under-pressure situations.

Right , almost run per ball required right now and now Aussies just can't afford to lose any more wickets . Handscomb must play like he plays and Stoinis should just stick around till the end as he can finish well.

India needs Handscomb's wicket and restrict them to take easy singles. Required run rate is just over 6 runs which is not much. Only taking wickets and restricting taking singles can create pressure for Australia.

I am looking forward to an exciting finish no matter who smiles at the end.

Watch out for Rashid khan, just a heads up. this guy is very dangerous.

Best of luck with your bet.

This must be Indymoney's lucky day. I see Irish are going to win.

Ireland require another 6 runs with 4 wickets and 10 balls remaining

50 more runs required in 44 balls and 5 wickets ares still left. this game is going crazy as once it was like OZ all the way and India took quick wickets to come back in this game. And now if India still takes couple of quick wickets game will swing to their side. OZ require the existing partnership to stay for another 3-4 overs.

It was a great win for India. Kohli was out of option except calling Vijay Shankar to bowl the last over. 11 needed from last 6 balls. First ball wicket, Stoinis gone. With that the match was also out from Australians hand. The next wicket was just matter of time to take since no recognize batsman.

Vijay Shankar has very bad first spell but his last over saved India.

Congrats India.

I didn't think that India will win today's match. The chance was almost no to a little. I thought I have lost. But I won at last. I can see a good place in the team for Shankar. He is doing pretty good with the batting too since the last series.

[Thanasis]

Another wonderful match to watch and it went to last over and much excited over from the new man vijay and got the wicket on first ball turned the match completely.Jasprit Bumrah took the crucial wicket and helped the team to victory.

India have bounced back strongly after losing the T20 series by winning their second ODI match against Australia which was looking like an Australia win but thanks to an all round bowling performance India were able to get the win. They should now go on and win the series as it will be tough to see Australia win the remaining 3 games.

[Pffrt]

Missed the match. Seems like it was an exciting match since it went to last over and India win. I am wondering how a new player Shankar bowled the last over and lead to win. Didn't Virat have any other option to call in? Or Shankar was a bet by Kohli?

Virat had the option to choose Vijay or Jadhav where Jadhav was the better baller in the match. He chose Vijay primarily due to the suggestions offered by Dhoni and Rohit Sharma which was clearly a great decision at the end of the day. Kudos to Vijay for delivering like that since I expected him to not peform.

There were some good captaincy by Kohli. He used his bowlers when the time needed them. Ultimately he was out of option but to use Vijay Shankar. He could not give the last over to a spinner coz spin was easy to play at that time.

Anyway, Vijay Shankar did the job very well despite he had bad start at his first spell.


My pick for the third match will be India again. They are playing good cricket right now.

Actually, that pitch was great for spinners since the ball kept low for a major portion of the match and this led to many batsmen getting out like Maxwell.

The decision to choose Vijay was done thanks to the suggestions by Dhoni and Rohit Sharma which Kohli himself admitted.

Except Vijay they did not have anyone else as option. Jadhav had two overs left but giving him the over could be too risky however if this was Kuldeep Yadav then the risk was less.

I disagree. Giving Vijay the ball was the riskier option due to his horrible first over where he was getting clobbered all over the ground.

On the other hand, Jadhav kept the ball low smartly and even took a wicket or two which is why Kohli's decision to go with Vijay was a great call.

Regarding this, Kohli is also following more or less Dhoni. Dhoni was also a risk taker at the end. He used to do this. Anyway, I think Vijay was the best option yesterday since spin over at last could easily bring a win for Australia.
