With a thumping 7-wicket victory in the first ODI match in Perth, Australia will be eyeing to seal the series when they take on India in the second match at Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Thursday.

 

Australia

 

Australia started the ODI series with a dominant performance, sealing a comfortable 7-wicket victory in a rain-affected match. This also marked Aussie's first victory at the Optus Stadium. They chased down the revised target of 131 runs in just 21.1 overs with the help of Mitchell Marsh (46*) and Josh Philippe's (37) performances. The lethal pace attack duo of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood blew away the Indian batting lineup, restricting the top four batters to go past 12 runs. A few notable names who were absent in the first match will return for the Adelaide ODI, including Adam Zampa and Alex Carey.

 

India

 

India, meanwhile, suffered a heartbreaking 7-wicket defeat in the first match, and their 8-match winning streak in the 50-over format was broken. Shubman Gill's ODI captaincy tenure started with a loss. Indian batters were clueless on the spicy surface of Perth; the top order was bundled out under the score of just 45. Only Axar Patel and KL Rahul added some fighting runs to the team's total, but those were not enough to defeat the current World Champions. With just two matches to go, India will be desperate to bounce back and level the series before they head to Sydney for the final match.
