Both these matches were one-sided affairs, which pose a threat to all other teams before the World Cup. In the second match of the series, Team India defeated Australia by 99 runs. Many players from the Indian team delivered excellent performances in this match. One-Sided Victory for Team India After the spectacular centuries by Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, India convincingly defeated Australia by 99 runs in the rain-affected second ODI match, taking an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. India posted a record score of 399 runs after being invited to bat first. In response, Australia was at 56 for 2 when rain interrupted the game. After the rain delay, Australia had a target of 317 runs in 33 overs according to the Duckworth-Lewis method, but they were bowled out for 217 runs in 28.2 overs. The third and final match will be played in Rajkot on Wednesday. Gill-Iyer's Explosive Partnership Gill scored 104 runs with the help of four sixes and six boundaries in 97 balls, while Iyer played a brilliant innings of 105 runs off 90 balls, including 11 boundaries and three sixes. These two formed a partnership of 200 runs for the second wicket, which is the fourth-highest partnership for any wicket for India in ODIs. In addition to this, captain KL Rahul scored 52 runs off 38 balls, and Suryakumar Yadav remained unbeaten with 72 runs off 37 balls. From Australia's side, Cameron Green took two wickets but conceded 103 runs. India's total of 399 is their highest against Australia. Previously, they had scored 383 runs for six wickets in Bangalore in 2013. Australian Top Order Fails Among the Australian batsmen, David Warner scored 53 runs to maintain his form, but it was Sean Abbott (54 runs off 36 balls with four fours and five sixes) and Josh Hazlewood (23 runs off 16 balls) who entertained the spectators with their late-order batting. For India, Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets for 41 runs, and Axar Patel strengthened his claim for a spot in the World Cup team by notching three wickets in the absence of Hardik Pandya. Ravindra Jadeja contributed with three wickets for 42 runs, while Krishna took two wickets. Australia's start was not good in pursuit of a big target. Krishna shattered their top order with wickets on the second and third balls of his second over, dismissing Matthew Short (09) and captain Steve Smith (00). After the rain delay, Australia had 24 overs left to chase a revised target of 261 runs, but Ashwin's magic worked, and Australia had to face defeat. Read the full article
