Can India turn around things in 2nd ODI?

The Indian team suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Australia by 66 runs at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday. Now for India to remain in the three-match ODI series, it is very important to win the second match on Sunday.

Host Australia performed brilliantly in the first match. Captain Aaron Finch (114) and David Warner (69) gave a solid start to the hosts by sharing 156 runs for the first wicket. After this, Steve Smith played the innings of 105 runs in 66 balls to lead the team towards a big score. Glenn Maxwell also made tremendous batting at the last minute. Although Dhawan and Hardik tried their best, but they could not win the team.

In the first ODI match, Virat Kohli was out after scoring 21 runs. If Team India has to stay in the series and win the second ODI, then it is very important to get runs from Kohli's bat.

Injury for Marcus Stoinis

The injury of Marcus Stoinis is relief news for Indian cricket fans. Stoinis is also known for putting big shorts along with the ball. In place of Stoinis, Cameron Green and Moises Henriques could be in the running for the second ODI at the SCG on Sunday.
