Hello and welcome to live coverage of the second one-day international between Australia and India at Adelaide Oval. With this a short and sharp three-match ODI series, the hosts are just one win away from securing victory after easing through the first meeting on Sunday.
The summer of cricket got off to a damp start in Perth with the ODI interrupted multiple times by rain but the forecast is much more promising today in Adelaide and both sides should be allocated the full 50 overs. India were unlikely to see out their overs in Perth even before the game was reduced to 26 overs, with their top order unable to handle the pace and bounce of Josh Hazlewood (2/20), Mitchell Starc (1/22) and Nathan Ellis (1/29).
KL Rahul (38) and Axar Patel (31) lifted the tourists to a competitive total but India – and perhaps even Australia – fans will be hoping that Virat Kohli can have more impact on his farewell tour after being caught for a rare ODI duck in Perth. Australia captain Mitchell Marsh (46no) and the impressive Josh Philippe (37) made light work of the chase as the hosts won by seven wickets.
First ball will be at 2pm local time in Adelaide / 2.30pm AEDT / 9am IDT. The toss and team news will be coming up shortly. Meanwhile, let us know your thoughts and predictions – shoot me an email or find me @martinpegan on Bluesky or X. Let’s get into it!
