India vs Australia 2nd ODI 2023 Preview: Likely Playing XIs, Key Players, H2H and Other Things You Need To Know About IND vs AUS Cricket Match in Indore

After a dominant performance in the 1st ODI, Team India will be aiming to win the series when they go up against Australia in the second game of the series. Mohammed Shami led the way with a five-wicket haul, his best figures in ODI cricket as India managed to keep Australia to just 276 runs on a track that was good for batting. In response, India chased down the target, despite a few hiccups, with eight balls and five wickets to spare. The victory was not only significant as it came against a side like Australia but also memorable as it took India to the top of the ICC ODI rankings, making them hold the numero uno spot in all formats. On the batting front, India had a lot of positives with Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad among the runs. Stand-in captain KL Rahul was also among the runs and so was Suryakumar Yadav, who ground his way to a half-century, one that can signal the start of something special for him in ODI cricket. India do need to work on their ground fielding though, with some dropped catches and missed run out opportunities coming their way in the Mohali game. Despite India winning the series opener, the team management might rest Jasprit Bumrah for this match. India vs Australia 2nd ODI 2023, Indore Weather Report: Check Out Rain Forecast and Pitch Report at Holkar Cricket Stadium.

For Australia, a lot would depend on how their top-order performs in this match. Although their batters did try hard, the team management would rue the fact that none out of Steve Smith (41), Cameron Green (31), Marnus Labuschagne (39) and also Josh Inglis (45), all of whom got starts, could convert it into something substantial. David Warner was the only one to cross the half-century mark and his form will be something Australia would bank on going into this second ODI. On the bowling front, Adam Zampa would have a lot of responsibility as leader of the spin attack and skipper Pat Cummins too needs to lead the way with a good performance.
