Sports Desk, New Delhi. Australia won the second ODI match against India. The credit for this goes to their bowlers. After a slow start and losing two early wickets, India made a comeback on the strength of Rohit and Shreyas.
However, Zampa did not give the Indian batsmen a chance to settle down, taking four wickets in the middle overs. India was able to score at least 30 runs less. Matthew Short’s innings kept Australia in the match despite the initial setbacks and then Cooper Connelly finished the match brilliantly.
Gill looked disappointed
Captain Shubman Gill looked disappointed after the match. Shubman Gill told where India lost the match. Also talked about Rohit Sharma’s innings. Gill also expressed his views regarding the toss. Talking about the reason for losing the match, Gill said that the problems increased due to the missed catch.
Difficulties increased due to missed catch
After the match, Gill said, I think we had just enough runs. However, some catches were missed which increased the difficulty. It is never easy. In the first match, the toss was more important due to rain. But this time it was not so much. Both teams played around 50 overs. In the beginning the wicket was playing a little better. But I think the wicket settled well after 15-20 overs.
Said this about Rohit
On Rohit Sharma, it is never easy to come back after a long time and play competitive cricket. But the initial phase was quite challenging. I am very happy with the way he batted. He fought bravely in the initial phase. I would say that he missed playing a big innings.
Australia won the series
Let us tell you that India, batting first, scored 264 runs at the loss of 9 wickets. Rohit played an inning of 73 runs. Whereas, Shreyas Iyer scored 61 runs. Akshar Patel contributed 44 runs. In response, Australia won the match and the series by scoring 265 runs in 46.2 overs.
