Australia and India are set to meet in the second ODI of the series at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday. The hosts lead the three-match series 1-0 after a seven-wicket win in a rain-affected opening game. That defeat ended India’s eight-match winning streak in ODIs and marked a tough start for Shubman Gill in his first match as captain.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli made their return to the format but couldn’t make an impact before rain intervened. Australia, powered by Mitchell Marsh’s unbeaten 46 and tight spells from Josh Hazlewood and Matthew Kuhnemann, proved too strong. India will now look to bounce back and keep the series alive in Adelaide.

Matthew Kuhnemann heads home but will return for the T20 series. Ben Dwarshuis is out with a left calf injury, adding to Australia’s pacer injury concerns.
