Team India eye victory in second ODI in Nagpur of Australia’s 2019 India tour
Date and Time : 5th March 2019, 1:30 PM IST
Venue : VCA Stadium, Nagpur
Team India will be full of confidence after their victory in the first ODI and should take that confidence ahead in the second game as well.
They bowled pretty well in Hyderabad and the batsman also produced a fantastic display as they helped the team to get over the line.
Same will be expected of them in the second one-day as they expect to go more ahead.
On the other hand, Australia will be disappointed with their efforts in the first one-day but should take confidence from the clean sweep of India in the T20I series.
Australia know they will have to play in the second ODI if they expect to get back in the five match ODI series.
Batting and Bowling will both need to be good.
India are behind in terms of the ODI head to head against Australia and they will look to improve upon that record.
Team news and possible line-ups
Shaun Marsh is available for Australia and might play in the second game.
As for India, KL Rahul is available and might play.
Australia XI : Khawaja, Finch (C), S. Marsh, Stoinis, Handscomb (WK), Maxwell, Coulter-Nile, J. Richardson, Cummins, Behrendorff, Zampa.
India XI : R. Sharma, Dhawan, Kohli (C), Rayudu, Dhoni (WK), K. Jadhav, V. Shankar, Jadeja, Shami, K. Yadav, Bumrah.
Prediction
It should be a good game as both teams will give their all but in the end I expect India to get the job done and go 2-0 ahead in the series.
