Rohit Sharma Escapes Early Run-Out as Australia Opts to Bowl First in 2nd ODI
Mitchell Marsh, the captain of Australia, won the coin and decided to bowl and invite India to put a target. India had a total of 264/9 in their 50 overs with Rohit Sharma leading with the highest score of 73 runs with 97 balls. Shreyas Iyer also added 61 and Axar Patel added 44. But Virat Kohli was sacked again, getting a second straight duck, off four balls by Xavier Bartlett on an LBW.
Australia started off on the wrong foot. Mitch Marsh was later sacked by Arshdeep Singh after struggling at the very beginning, putting Australia at 30/1. Travis Head was able to convey some motive as he hit a six against Siraj but was not very fluent against disciplined Indian bowling. By the 8th over, the score was 32/1.
Playing XI of both sides:
Australia: Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Matthew Short, Matt Renshaw, Alex Carey (wk), Cooper Connolly, Mitchell Owen, Xavier Bartlett, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, and Josh Hazlewood.
India: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (c), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, and Mohammed Siraj.
