Australia dominated the second ODI against India, with Georgia Voll shining in her debut by scoring her first century in just her second international match. Ellyse Perry also notched up her 50th half-century. The partnership between Voll and Phoebe Litchfield helped Australia reach 232-2 at the end of the 34th over.
India struggled with their bowling as Australia’s batters were in fine form. Megan Schutt’s 5-19 in the first match set the tone for the series, and the Indian batters will have to find a way to counter her in the upcoming matches.
The weather conditions at Allan Border Field were challenging, with high temperatures and humidity, making it a tough day for the players. Australia won the toss and elected to bat, putting the pressure on India to chase a competitive total.
Despite the one-sided result in the first match, India showed signs of promise, especially in their bowling attack. With key players like Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur in their lineup, India will be looking to bounce back in the remaining matches.
The series between Australia and India has always been competitive, with thrilling contests in recent years. While Australia has a strong record against India, the visitors have the potential to turn things around with a strong batting performance.
Overall, the second ODI between Australia and India was a showcase of exceptional batting from the Australians, with Voll’s debut century stealing the show. India will need to regroup and come back stronger in the upcoming matches to challenge the dominant Australian team.
