Having lost the second ODI, India have to do a little bit of analysis of their batting, especially after having seen their batters get out to Australia pacer, Mitchell Starc’s bowling. The last ODI match saw Mitchell Starc claiming a fifer as India’s batting order got destroyed in a matter of minutes. None of the Indian batters were able to get a fifty, proving that India need to improve if they are serious about winning the series and maintaining their dominance in bilateral series on their home turf. Their batters really need to step up, especially with the ODI world cup lurking round the corner. When it comes to their bowlers, despite being impressive in the first ODI, in the second match they were thrashed all over the park as the Aussies easily reached the target (118) without losing any wickets. So, a little bit of fine-tuning is also required for the Indian bowlers.

The result of this series, may somehow be inconsequential, but if we look at it in terms of the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup, there is a lot of work left for the hosts to do. For Australia, both their batters and bowlers are in red-hot form with Mitchell Marsh notching up 66* and Travis Head registering 51*. If these two get off to a flying start, the Aussies will no doubt reach an improbable total. On other occasions, if somehow, these two don’t provide quick starts, then they have anchors in the form of Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne who can help the side to a decent position.
As far as their bowlers are concerned, their bowlers are also doing well with Mitchell Starc scalping eight wickets, including a fifer. Hence, overall, the team is all set ahead of the world cup. They also have the luxury to experiment and find the perfect balance ahead of the World Cup.
