The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia is being played in Indore today. Team India has taken a 1-0 lead in the series by winning the first ODI by 5 wickets. India has a chance to take an unassailable lead in the series by winning the second ODI. However, rain can become a hindrance in India’s path to series victory. The sky will be cloudy in Indore on Sunday and it is expected to rain throughout the day.
India may make changes in the playing 11 despite winning the first ODI. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be rested. Siraj may return in place of Bumrah. Washington Sundar is also likely to get a chance in the second ODI. However, there is no possibility of any change in batting.
In the second ODI also, Rituraj Gaikwad will get a chance to open with Shubman Gill. This match is going to prove to be very important for Shreyas Iyer. Iyer’s performance in the last match was disappointing. After fielding, Iyer disappointed in batting also. If Iyer is not able to perform today, then it will not be possible for him to make a place in the playing 11 of the World Cup. Ishan Kishan can be given priority over Iyer in the playing 11.
