Australia and India will go head-to-head at the Melbourne Cricket Ground looking to claim the ODI series, as it is currently level at 1-1. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match, starting from 1:20pm (AEDT).
India were superb in Adelaide only a few days ago to level the series.
With Virat Kohli’s side set the task of chasing a total of 298, they had a fair bit to do, regardless of how flat the wicket was.
Aaron Finch would have backed his bowlers to defend that score, but when you come up against a player like Kohli, especially when he is at the top of his game, you could never feel at total ease.
The captain compiled a big hundred when it was really needed, and it ultimately allowed MS Dhoni to do what he does best – finish off the game with his combative batting style.
The wicketkeeper finished with 55 not out to compliment Kolhi’s 39th ODI hundred. With those two firing with the bat, Australia’s 298 was never going to be enough.
Australia no doubt will be disappointed due to the fact a victory in the second ODI would have ensured a series win, but it was not to be.
There have been positives to take from an Australian perspective, especially with the bat.
There were more consistent performances from the first ODI, but Shaun Marsh’s 131 in Adelaide was just a reminder that he is one of Australia’s best ODI batsman.
It is a very inexperienced squad, and with that being the case, Australia need Marsh firing with the World Cup around the corner.
Glenn Maxwell also showed his use down the order, putting together 48 runs from just the 37 balls.
There is plenty of upside to this Australian ODI side, but consistency is needed if they wish to progress as a side.
Prediction
India have the momentum after a thumping six-wicket victory at the Adelaide Oval, and with that being the case, I would fully expect Kohli’s side to continue in that fashion.
India to claim the series 2-1.
