India are all set to battle it out against Australia in the second game of the three-match ODI series on Sunday, September 24 at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. KL Rahul & Co. were quite phenomenal in the first ODI and secured a rather comprehensive five-wicket win over the visitors. Mohammed Shami was the chief architect of the triumph as he took a stellar five-wicket haul. The Indian batters also showed their class and hunted down the target of 277 with much trouble. India would look to bring their A-game into play in the upcoming clash and win the series. IND vs AUS: Mohammed Shami’s Five-Wicket Haul Helps India Secure Victory Over Australia in 1st ODI.

Given the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav will be available for the final ODI, the balance of the side is expected to be almost the same for the upcoming encounter. However, either Jasprit Bumrah or Mohammed Shami could be rested and Mohammed Siraj could feature in the playing XI. Given Shami was phenomenal in the first ODI, Bumrah might be rested for the clash on Sunday.

Though Shardul Thakur proved to be expensive in the previous game, the team management is likely to back him for the upcoming contest. Similarly, Shreyas Iyer is also expected to feature in the playing XI after being dismissed cheaply in the first game of the ongoing series.Moroever, Ravichandran Ashwin, who did a decent job with the ball on his ODI comeback is also certain to feature in the upcoming game. Shreyas Iyer Dismissed Run Out After Being Involved in a Mix-Up With Shubman Gill During IND vs AUS 1st ODI 2023 (Watch Video).
