I hope this is going to be an high scoring game,probably 350+ for sure since India hold their wickets and scoring at good run rate even in 30th overs.Final 10 will be more destructive if Kohli stays on the crease.

Good comeback from team india from their first ODI loss,its time for to get some revenge.

India is playing really well and as long as Kohli is in the middle they will pose a huge total even though India lost a couple of quick wickets but KL Rahul is in the crease and with the form he is in i am expecting him to build a good partnership with Kohli and if they last till the 45th over then they have the batting power to score some quick runs and if India should win they should score above 340 runs to put any pressure on the Australian batsman.

Following the first match Australia have now chosen to bowl first. From the beginning everyone have played good. Dhawan played well and he missed the century. If he have hit the century further he could've scored some fast runs. Anyhow now kohli and Rahul stands to make the team strong. With the current run rate possible the score will reach between 320-340

[Haunebu]

Australia was looking for a wicket and now they got the wicket of Shikhar Dhawan and they denied him scoring a century as he was caught in the deep and if Australia is able to pick some quick wickets then they can deny India building a huge total and i hope they can pick the wicket of Kohli and put pressure back to India .

Do you really think India are not set for a big total at this point? 320+ seems easy at this point. India is actually piling on the pressure at present.

The batsmen are doing their job at the moment and it seems like India will reach something close to 340 at his point which seems optimal. However, the bowlers need to bowl really well since the batsmen are clearly doing their job.

Meanwhile 40 overs gone and its 249/3.Kohli looks dangerous at the moment and he can take away the innings to next level from now on.

Once score reaches 300 it gives psychological confidence to their team in the second innings which will get reflected on bowling as well as fielding.

Brilliant catch of Virat changed the calculation of runs slightly in favor of Australia. Still India can fancy 50 more runs.

And one more wicket down for India, Pandey ji gone

Last 6 important overs of inning.

I hate to say but i am loving KL Rahul's batting  

[pakhitheboss]

Brilliant batting by team India although shreyas Iyer was a disappointment overall everyone performed. Exceptional batting by Rahul coming down the order. This guy has proved again that he can bat at any order and perform.

Overall 340 is a good score by team India. Now the pressure is on Australian openers.

[tsaroz]

Excellent comeback by India team after than defeat. And now it's time for Australia to show that their batsmen are worth not only for easy targets but also for a challenging one.
Seeing the unimpressive bowling by Indian bowlers in the last match, the game is going to be a competitive one.

[JSRAW]

^^ Aussie openers are key in this run chase for Australia as few OZ batsmen have good striking rate over all. this pitch is flat and Dew factor surely come in the play during second inning so real test for Indian bowlers.

We still have 50 overs cricket left so sit tight and enjoy the game.

Fun fact :

29 times India scored 340 + runs

Won 28 , Lost 1

Against Australia

Edit : Its against all the teams. Australia is the only team to successfully beat the Indian team while chasing

Now, I have a gut feeling after reading the fun fact, this will be a one sided match again. Chances are very high India winning the second ODI 😀😀😀😀

[Haunebu]

Would love to see the looks on the faces of those haters who wanted the Indian batting lineup to collapse early. Underestimating the current Indian lineup is silly just because they lost 1 game badly people.

This is interesting. Warner is already gone and if India continues to bowl well, Australia will end up in a sticky position since the target is pretty damn big. If India get Smith, Marnus and Finch early, the game is basically sealed.

[erikalui]

Have a little hope today with 340 runs to chase and already one wicket down for Aus. A great comeback by Dhawan, Virat and Rahul. Two missed chances of reaching a 100, 4 for Dhawan and that run out for Rahul. Ind should get Smith out as his wicket down, a lot more hope to win the match.

Steve Smith and Aron Finch are the main stay for Australia and with a huge total like this the bowlers are able to put pressure on the batsman as they are not giving away runs that easily and the fast bowlers are peppering Smith with short balls which is strange., Bumrah is bowling well but the rest of the bowlers are going for runs and if Australia can continue and build a good partnership then there is a chance for them to win the match.

Finch is gone, thanks to Jadeja who took his wicket before they managed a 100+ partnership. Smith is still dangerous as he can easily hit those important 4s and 6s which can be crucial.

Never underestimate the bowling of Sir Jadeja and brilliant keeping by Rahul. This guy did his job with the bat and now as a keeper performing the most important duty. Well done KL Rahul!

[mersal]

OZ lost both their openers too early now the real task begins,AUS is capable of taking this match from now with their middle order batting line up!

India looks more confident at the moment which gets reflected at their ground performance.

[JSRAW]

Things are getting interesting in this run chase, run rate is going up to 8 but Australia got wickets in the bank and 2 best Test player in the world building a good partnership for Australia.

They still need 170 runs in 20 overs and both batsmen not taking any risk, Indians need a wicket.


Labuschagne out, Jadeja got the man.

Missed 1st half of the game   Aussies are currently building a nice partnership, if this partnership continues, there is still a chance for AUS to win this match thereby winning this series.

Edit: While I'm typing Jadeja gives the required breakthrough, Labuschagne gone for 46. AUS still need 163 runs in 19 overs
2 more quick wickets, Carey and Smith gone. Aus 222/5

Australia denied the century for Dhawan and now they picked the wicket of Smith denying his century as well and now it is a big task for Australia to win the match as they need over 10 runs per over and it is impossible with the batting power they have but this is T20 era and anything is possible but i am not expecting any upset from this situation as i am hoping India will level the series with this match. For me KL Rahul is the player of the match as he contributed the runs for India to post this huge total.

For me KL Rahul is the player of the match as he contributed the runs for India to post this huge total.

KL Rahul is playing the floater role in the team as he does not have a fixed position and if he is able to keep the wickets then they should go with him rather than experimenting in that position with many players who are not delivering. Australia still have Ashton Turner who can hit the ball really well and won matches for Australia and Western Australia in the past with his batting power and if he can deliver then it is still a possibility for Australia to win the match.
