India vs Australia 2nd ODI match preview.
After a big loss in the first match, India is looking forward to take a revenge against Australia at Jaipur. Gaining momentum is the key thing in this 7 match series as Australia have the advantage to take their momentum in this game.
For Australia this game is of immense opportunity to lose underdog title by clutching a victory in this game. For a team that is No. 1 in ICC ODI rankings after a string of impressive performances in Champions Trophy, Zimbabwe series and West Indies Tri series a single defeat can be considered as a fallback. And that fallback is driven by Australia!
India need to lift their performances in the 50 over format. Even though it seems they are struggling to face short pitch spells by Australian bowlers it is pretty sure that India have faced this type of spells over West Indies, England and Zimbabwe. So no doubt India would come with a hardcore mindset in this game.
Key players for Australia:
- Brad Haddin
- George Bailey(c)
- Shane Watson
- Nathan Coulter-Nile
- MS Dhoni(w/c)
- Yuvraj Singh
- Shikhar Dhawan
- Ravindra Jadeja
The Australian Captain Brad Haddin reckons it would be a high scoring game and the conditions will suit his bowlers. Shane Watson and James Falkner have played a lot of games recently in this pitch and they were telling that this pitch is a heaven for batsman like himself and other batsman in his team.
