Australia (AUS) and India (IND) are set to face off in the second ODI of the three-match series on Thursday, October 23, at the iconic Adelaide Oval - a picturesque venue on South Australia's coastline.
The hosts head into this clash with momentum, having convincingly won the opening game in Perth.
Under Mitchell Marsh's leadership, Australia looked dominant while chasing a revised target of 132 runs (DLS method), sealing victory by seven wickets. However, with clear skies expected this time, they can anticipate a stiffer challenge from India's batting lineup.
For India, led by Shubman Gill in his maiden ODI captaincy outing, the series opener was a tough initiation. Yet, the visitors will be eager to bounce back and keep the series alive heading into the Sydney finale.
The Adelaide Oval traditionally provides a balanced wicket, offering something for both batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers enjoy the consistent bounce and carry, while the quick outfield rewards well-timed strokes. Expect an entertaining contest - and a total in excess of 300 could well prove decisive.
IND vs AUS Team News
Australia welcome back a few key names, with hometown favourite Alex Carey confirmed in the XI. Marnus Labuschagne, who spent time inspecting the pitch and hitting early in the nets, is expected to replace Cooper Connolly, while Mitch Owen may drop to No. 7. Adam Zampa is also set to return, likely taking Matt Kuhnemann's spot. On the Indian side, Yashasvi Jaiswal drew attention by bowling leg-spin in training, but major changes to their lineup from the Perth match appear unlikely.
