India vs Australia Highlights: Australia seal a 2-0 lead after India fall to the hosts in Adelaide. Not the best start to life under Shubman Gill's captaincy, as they ended up maybe 15 runs short after a batting performance that saw a Virat Kohli duck and a lower-middle order collapse. In return, Matt Short was dropped twice enroute to his 74, costing the Indian team, before a late explosion by Mitchell Owen and a fine performance by Cooper Connolly (61*) took the hosts home....Read More
Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer's 118-run partnership key to help India post a competitive total in Adelaide after Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli fell cheaply after being put in to bat. The two Mumbai batters rebuilt, with Rohit scoring a fighting 73 and Shreyas batting well for his 61. Axar Patel would then provide crucial runs as wickets meant India lost their way a touch, but a late blitz by Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh helped post a strong total on a tricky wicket. 265 to chase for Australia.
Virat Kohli walks back with back to back ducks in the series! India in deep trouble again as Xavier Bartlett picks up a pair of wickets in one over, first dismissing Shubman Gill, then trapping Kohli LBW. Back to the wall again for the Indian batting.
India continue to have truly rotten luck at the toss in ODI cricket, as they lose yet another flip in Adelaide. An important toss to win, and Mitchell Marsh unsurprisingly chooses to bowl first and put India's top order to the test again. India remain unchanged for this match, but Australia ring in the changes with three players coming in.
The action in the India tour of Australia now shifts to Adelaide for the second ODI of the three-match series. The visitors walk into this game chasing oxygen and answers. A seven-wicket loss in a rain-slashed opener at Perth left Shubman Gill’s side 1-0 down. While India would look to improve their game in all aspects, Australia would be eager to continue their dominance.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in focus
The eyes will once more be on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The buildup to the Perth ODI centered around the return of the two star players. However, things turned out to be anticlimactic for the Indian fans. While Rohit Sharma managed only 8 runs off 14 deliveries, Virat Kohli failed to trouble the scorers, playing eight deliveries in the match. Besides these two batters, the rest of the batting also failed to show the resilience that was expected of the second-best team in the ODIs (runners-up in World Cup 2023). The result was a below-par score that the Aussies chased down without much trouble.
On the other hand, the hosts will be quietly confident of their performance. In the first ODI, their prime pacers in Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, gave brilliant performances. While the conditions are expected to be slightly different in Adelaide, the management will hope that the form of these two pacers continues. Mitchell Marsh would hope that his unit gives another strong show and seals the deal before the decider in SCG.

India vs Australia Live Updates: Nerves of steel from Connolly and AUSTRALIA HAVE WON IT!
India vs Australia Live Updates: India show fight, show courage, but in the end their own mistakes cost them and allow a composed Connolly to score an excellent 61* and take his team home! India drop the series, almost literally, and Australia can breathe easy after it looked nervy at the end.
A small phase of play after Short's wicket seals it for the Aussies, when Connolly and Owen began to unleash. India never had that sort of explosion, and in a tight chase, poor catching might have made a difference. Ifs and what-abouts all India can think about as they travel over to Sydney.
India vs Australia Live Updates: 8 down! Siraj does get Starc
India vs Australia Live Updates: Getting nervy here! Starc guides it straight to point as the ball climbs on him. Just two wickets left, and Siraj has a ball at Zampa. Can he make something happen a la the Oval?
India vs Australia Live Updates: Starc settles nerves with 4 off Siraj, just 5 needed
India vs Australia Live Updates: India trying to target one end and make something happen, but that is so classy from Starc. Good stride forward and just leans on it to drive it for four down the ground. Good shot.
India vs Australia Live Updates: 7 down! 10 still needed
India vs Australia Live Updates: India just about keeping it interesting. Bartlett tries to clear mid-off, but slices it. Shubman Gill running back takes a nice catch. AUS 7 down now.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Just 13 needed now
India vs Australia Live Updates: Only a handful of boundaries away from sealing the win. Australia will want to make quick work of it.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Late twist? Washington gets Owen
India vs Australia Live Updates: Sundar comes on, and an arm ball is spliced by Owen. Simple catch for Arshdeep at long-on.
36(23) from Owen, and innings which will likely seal this series for Australia – but a brief opening for India potentially?
India vs Australia Live Updates: Fifty for Connolly! Maiden ODI half-century
India vs Australia Live Updates: If this innings is anything to go by, this will be a player long for Australia's future. His off-side play has been absolutely sensational today, and he has brought up 50 in 42 deliveries.
Match-winning knock. And now the hosts need just 22 runs with all the time in the world.
India vs Australia Live Updates: 49 needed off last 10 overs
India vs Australia Live Updates: India need something Bumrah-esque to rescue this situation. Mostly entering bowlers who can bat territory if they spark another wicket, but likely a couple of scalps needed to fight back into this – and quickly.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Bang! Owen goes big again
India vs Australia Live Updates: He's a little at sea against Axar, but he is hitting Harshit with some kind of power. Gets a half-track which he just mashes over midwicket for six. Both these batters are hitting it so well, and are racing towards the total.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Massive over as Owen tees off! 14 off it to rock India back
India vs Australia Live Updates: New man is Mitch Owen, who really flexes those muscles to pick up 14 off Harshit's over.
61 needed off 72. Another wicket needed, and quickly.
India vs Australia Live Updates: NO MISTAKE THIS TIME FROM SIRAJ! Short is dismissed
India vs Australia Live Updates: Third time's the charm as Mohammed Siraj hangs on at square leg to send Short packing! The Aussies were in control with a 12 run over, but the last ball is a quick and sharp bouncer from Harshit Rana. Short can only fend it off, and caught at square leg.
78 needed off 84, but it is 5 wickets down. Getting tight!
India vs Australia Live Updates: Short launches Sundar for six!
India vs Australia Live Updates: Good hit, he was under pressure and Matt Short releases some of it! Big slog sweep that just keeps carrying. The spinners receiving a touch of punishment, so Gill might need to turn to his seamers again to buy him a wicket.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Gill goes back to pace after Connolly looks good against spin
India vs Australia Live Updates: Connolly showing some real class against the spinners, finding success off the back foot.
Harshit Rana back into the attack and ekes out a miserly 3-run over. Important at this stage, but another wicket needed.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Connolly gets away a couple of boundaries off Axar
India vs Australia Live Updates: Cooper Connolly getting going now. Gets a couple of looser deliveries from Axar Patel and pounces on them. India still trying to prompt an error.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Short put down again, this time Siraj the culprit
India vs Australia Live Updates: Do you believe it, he was dropped at point on 23, and he is dropped at point again, this time on 55. This one was a sitter, it has to be said. Siraj settles, gets his hands to it, but just shells it. Not good enough at this level, dropping those ones off a set batter.
India vs Australia Live Updates: TIMBER! Washington sneaks one underneath Carey's sweep
India vs Australia Live Updates: India have been nice and patient in the last 5 overs, tempting one of the batters to make an error, and it is Carey who does so! Far too full to sweep Washington, and Carey misses it altogether. Bursts through him and knocks him over.
132/4, and the wickets are coming for India.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Matt Short looks in strong touch at halfway stage of innings
India vs Australia Live Updates: This is some innings from Short, really good cricketing shots and a alot of composure through his innings. Approaching his fifty after he hits a beautiful cover drive off Arshdeep Singh.
139 needed off the last 25 overs and Australia are just about the favourites at this point.
India vs Australia Live Updates: BULLSEYE! Axar redeems himself, snaps up Renshaw
India vs Australia Live Updates: Bowled him! Excellent bowling. Sees Renshaw advancing at him while making room, so just shortens it up. Renshaw can't reach the pitch and is beaten in the drift. Carries on with the arm and knocks him over.
109/3 now, and that was a really important wicket for India.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Just 162 needed off 30 overs, AUS establish control
India vs Australia Live Updates: Really good partnership now. India struggling to keep tabs on the scoring, both batters going at more than run a ball at the moment and looking completely at ease.
Wicket needed desperately, so Gill turns to Siraj.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Axar drops Matt Short! Bonus life, and does himself damage
India vs Australia Live Updates: Put down! Axar Patel is usually such a safe fielder but he has a dropped a few since the Asia Cup. It was coming quick to him at backward point but you expect him to take that.
To make matters worse, he has to leave the pitch with an injury to his hand. Might be split webbing.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Short and Renshaw keep solid scoring rate
India vs Australia Live Updates: Good batting from Short and Renshaw despite the wicket, ensure they don't let the Indian bowlers apply too much pressure. Quick start to this partnership.
71/2 after 15.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Harshit Rana picks up the big wicket of Travis Head! Kohli with the catch
India vs Australia Live Updates: Harshit Rana gets a wicket that will do him a world of good! Very many question marks around his inclusion, but such an important wicket will help his case. Angled into Head, who gets tucked up and spoons a big leading edge right into the air. Virat Kohli settles underneath it and sends him packing.
India expose Australia's inexperienced middle order with a lot of batting left to do.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Short picks up 6, 42/1 after 10 overs
India vs Australia Live Updates: Australia might be just about okay with that powerplay. Lost one wicket but kept India at bay largely. A lovely pick up for six by Short to wrap it up.
India vs Australia Live Updates: Edged and gone! Arshdeep responds with the huge wicket of Mitch Marsh
India vs Australia Live Updates: Got his man! Important moment. Australia were beginning to look to go big, but that is their undoing. Marsh marches down but can't quite get to the ball. Thick edge as he takes a big swing, and KL Rahul with the gloves does the rest.
30/1 now, and India have what they needed.
India vs Australia Live Updates: First six! Excellent from head
India vs Australia Live Updates: Took until the 42nd ball of the innings but there's the first boundary. Head just times it off his legs and over square leg.
The 43rd delivery is the first four as Marsh clips it very nicely through the gap.
