India aim to bounce back after an eight-wicket loss in the first ODI
The 2nd match will take place in Mullanpur again, on Wednesday, September 17
Australia’s batting depth, led by Litchfield and Mooney, remains their biggest strength
After a tough start to the series, India Women will be eager to turn things around when they face Australia in the second ODI at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh. The hosts had their moments in the opening game, posting 281 runs on the back of fine knocks from Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, and Harleen Deol.
However, lapses in fielding and the inability to break key partnerships cost them dearly as Australia comfortably chased the target to go 1-0 up in the series. With the home crowd backing them, India will be determined to iron out those mistakes and level the series.
Australia, on the other hand, will look to carry forward the confidence from their clinical eight-wicket win. Phoebe Litchfield’s fluent 88, Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 77, and Annabel Sutherland’s steady 54 showed the depth in their batting, while Megan Schutt once again proved her value with the ball, helping the team beat India by eight wickets.
Alyssa Healy’s side will want to maintain their dominance and seal the series with another strong performance. With India fighting for survival and Australia pushing for a decisive lead, fans can expect a high-intensity clash where every run and wicket will matter.
