IND vs AUS, 2nd ODI, Analysis: Multiple records broken along with IND’s loss

As Australia romped to a 10-wicket victory over India in the second one-dayer in Visakhapatnam to level the series, pacer Mitchell Starc proved to be the primary tormentor with the bat, and openers Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head hit stunning half-centuries.

Starc was at his very best as his ninth five-for assisted the guests with collapsing India for a humble 117 of every 26 overs. The chase was then quickly wrapped up by Marsh and Head, who returned the Australians to victory in just 11 overs.

Both teams set new records that afternoon. India’s hosts will be haunted for some time by the numerous unjustified records and the fact that they were on the wrong side of history. Australia, on the other hand, had a wonderful day and performed a clinical display to rewrite the books.

In the second one-day international between India and Australia, the following is a look at the records that were rewritten and broken

• The 117 is currently India’s third lowest score against Australia in ODIS. India’s totals in Sydney in 1981 (63) and 2000 (100) remain the lowest compared to Australia.

• It was also India’s fourth-lowest home ODI score, trailing only Sri Lanka’s scores of 78 in 1986, 100 in 1993, and 112 in Sri Lanka in 2017.

• Mitchell Starc moved up to third place on the list of ODI players with the most five-fors. It was Starc’s ninth fifer in the format, and the pacer is now only behind Pakistan’s Waqar Younis (13) and Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan (10).

• Australia breezed past the 118 target with 234 balls remaining, making the defeat India’s worst in ODI history.

• Australia completed an ODI run chase with a score of 121/0 in 11 overs, making it their third-fastest total (in terms of overs). The other two were 71/1 in 9.2 overs against the West Indies in 2013 and 66/1 in 7.5 overs against the USA in 2004.
