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.

When Team India plays Australia in the second One-Day International at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, they will want to win the series. After missing the team’s first game in Mumbai, regular captain Rohit Sharma will also take over. Hardik Pandya captained the team in Rohit’s absence in the first one-day international, leading them to a five-wicket victory at the Wankhede Stadium in a low-scoring contest.

KL Rahul, who was dropped for the third and fourth Tests after struggling to find form in the Border-Gavaskar series, scored a patient unbeaten 75 to help the hosts win.

After missing nearly eight months due to a knee injury and subsequent surgery, Jadeja returned to ODI cricket on Friday, scoring an unbeaten 45 in the chase for 188. He likewise bowled a tight spell and returned figures of 2/46 to be proclaimed ‘Player of the Match’..

With the ODI World Cup being facilitated by India in the near future, an in-structure Rahul and a completely fit Jadeja will be a resource, and the three-match series will assist the selectors with evaluating the team’s advancement.

After being in a bit of trouble at 4/39 and later 5/83, India would attempt to make amends with the bat and take an unassailable 2-0 series lead before Rahul and Jadeja came together at the crease to lead the hosts to victory with 61 balls remaining.

The top order, which was shattered by the speed and variations of Australian fast Mitchell Starc, will undoubtedly benefit from Rohit Sharma’s return to captaincy duties

After Marcus Stoinis had made an early dent by dismissing Ishan Kishan for three runs, the lanky left-arm pacer’s three-wicket burst at the start put India under a lot of pressure. Virat Kohli (4), Suryakumar Yadav (0), and Shubman Gill (20) all left the game quickly.

The Indian batsmen have occasionally appeared hesitant when confronted with high-quality left-arm pacers, and facing Starc in the remaining two matches should provide them with valuable experience playing at home as they focus on preparing for the World Cup in October and November.

With Sharma set to open, Kishan will likely make way for the regular captain. Suryakumar Yadav’s inability to find his mojo in the 50-over format is cause for concern, despite the fact that Kohli and Gill’s scores in the first ODI were below par.

Suryakumar, a maverick with the bat in T20Is, is evidently still figuring out how to play ODIs. This year, he has not scored a fifty in any of the five One-Day Internationals. Surya has not scored more than 50 in any of his 15 ODIS (13 innings) thus far.

Be that as it may, with no timetable set for Shreyas lyer’s return, India will continue to try out Suryakumar for the job at No. 4.

Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, India’s pacers, excelled on the Wankhede pitch, which favors fast bowling, in Mumbai. Kuldeep Yadav, a wrist spinner, was unable to leave a lasting impression.

Due to Pandya’s flawless performance as a third seamer in Mumbai, the team management is not expected to alter the bowling lineup.

The weather conditions gauge for the second ODI is of dispersed rainstorms to some extent in the primary half, which additionally implies that pacers from either side can swing the ball assuming the circumstances are breezy.

Throughout the series, Australia wants to experiment with various combinations. They brought in four all-rounders on Friday—Mitchell Marsh, Cameron Green, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell—but they were unable to significantly challenge India, which would be cause for concern for captain Steve Smith.

Marsh started the game quickly with a 65-ball 81 as a temporary opener in the absence of David Warner. However, Australia lost their way in the middle overs, falling from 129/2 to 188 all out against quality pace in Mumbai. Despite having a deep batting line up, the visitors lost six wickets for just 19 runs. This is something they will work on.

While the wickets for ODIs in India are typically batter-friendly, Smith and Marnus Labuschagne will be expected to perform more despite having encountered “difficult” pitches during the Test series.

Smith has not crossed the 50-run mark such a long ways on this India visit. The Australian stand-in skipper will try to end the drought for someone who has a lot of runs against India.

In Mumbai, Australia’s fast bowling looked great, with Green and Stoinis and Sean Abbott keeping the Indians in check with tight lines.

BAN vs IND 2nd ODI: Bangladesh 271 for 7 (Mehidy 100*, Mahmudullah 77, Washington 3-37) beat India 266 for 9 (Iyer 82, Axar 56, Rohit 51*, Ebadot 3-45, Shakib 2-39, Mehidy 2-46) by five runs

Mehidy Hasan Miraz was Bangladesh’s hero for the second game in a row when he made another remarkable effort with the bat. He scored his maiden ODI century in just 83 balls to pull his team out of trouble and post a challenging 271 for 7 that proved to be just beyond India’s reach in the end. This was Bangladesh’s second consecutive win. When injured Rohit Sharma walked out, India lost early wickets and were 207 for 8 when he made 65 off 44 balls to win the match. Even though he was running out of partners, he hit five sixes and brought the score to 20 off the final over and a six off the final ball, but Bangladesh won the series thanks to an accurate yorker from Mustafizur Rahman.

After beating India 2-1 in 2015, Bangladesh won the series 2-0 to secure their second victory

Bangladesh were initially saved by Mehidy and Mahmudullah with a record seventh-wicket stand of 148 to pull them out of the pits at 69 for 6 before their quicks struck early to halt India’s pursuit. Virat Kohli started the game in Rohit’s absence, but he and Shikhar Dhawan both fell in the first three overs of the chase. Later, Bangladesh spinners struck to further harm India. With a century stand, Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel attempted to save India from 65 for 4, but Bangladesh could only recover by breaking that stand. India’s lower order, with an injured Deepak Chahar, only delayed the inevitable as the asking rate crept up until Rohit gave the hosts a scare after they did, with Iyer’s wicket in the 35th over when India needed another 100 runs.

When Mehidy and Mahmudullah got together in the 19th over, it looked like another low-scoring match was going to happen. Mohammed Siraj’s early movement caused Anamul Haque to be trapped lbw and Litton Das’ middle stump to be knocked over by Mohammed Siraj. Rohit injured his thumb when he dropped the batter at second slip and immediately walked back, only to bat in the 43rd over of the chase after Haque was dismissed.

One of Umran Malik’s thunderbolts above 150 kilometers per hour brought an end to Najmul Hossain Shanto’s shaky run of 21 when the batsman was beaten by pace to lose his off stump. After that, Siraj and Malik pounded Shakib with short balls and bouncers, twice hitting his helmet. Shakib attempted to attack Washington as soon as Malik was removed, but the attempt was top-edged and Dhawan took it at short fine leg after a juggle. 66 for 4 before long became 69 for 6 when Washington Sundar eliminated Mushfiqur Rahim and Afif Hossain, having them gotten off the glove and bowled individually.

Mehidy and Mahmudullah, on the other hand, got Bangladesh out of trouble and set up a late push. Mehidy played the attacking role by smoking Washington for a six down the ground and then slog-sweeping Axar for his second six as Mahmudullah dropped anchor. As a result, they found the boundaries frequently in the middle overs. Soon after, Mehidy appeared to be having cramps, but he continued to hit ones and twos and scored his half-century off 55 balls. 74 balls got Mahmudullah to his; Between them, Bangladesh reached 169 for 6 with 10 overs remaining, completing the century stand.

Because Deepak Chahar had a strained hamstring, India had run out of bowlers by this point. Mahmudullah capitalized on that by going after Siraj in the 46th over, hitting the leg-side boundary for 14 runs. Even though Siraj fell in the next over, Mehidy’s best was still to come.

Nasum Ahmed also hit back-to-back fours off Malik and smashed Siraj for a six in the next over to push them closer to 250. After that, it was the Mehidy show. He went after Malik with two drives that raced to the boundary before reverse-scooping the final ball to the deep-third boundary to make it a 14-run over with two overs remaining. He was on 72 off 74. Mehidy hit two big sixes on Thakur’s leg side off slower balls in the final over, reached 99 with a double, and hit the hundred with a full toss to midfield. Mehidy assisted Bangladesh in scoring 68 runs off the final five overs and 102 runs off the final ten overs thanks to Nasum’s useful 11-ball 18.

India’s chase lost most of its momentum when Kohli hit Ebadot Hossain for 5 and Mustafizur Rahman ripped a short ball off Dhawan, who was caught at point for 8. Washington debuted as the No. 4 in front of Rahul, yet he fell on the last bundle of the powerplay when he chipped Shakib to midwicket for a simple catch. Also, Rahul’s stay without boundaries was brief; India were 65 for 4 when he attempted a lap sweep against a straight ball from Mehidy but was caught in front.

India’s hopes were still alive because the asking rate was still below seven an over. In his usual fashion, Iyer attacked the spinners. While Iyer scored a patient fifty off 69 balls, Axar was the quicker of the two because he consistently found gaps and went after Nasum and Shakib early on for sixes on the leg side. Their stand was eventually broken when, in the 35th over, Iyer tried to hit a second six but missed deep midwicket for 82.

Axar continued to attack and scored a run-a-ball fifty, but Ebadot returned and caught him at cover with the score still at 83 off 70 balls to eliminate him immediately. However, India had few other options. Before Shardul Thakur was stumped and Chahar, who was injured, fell for 11 off 18 balls, Thakur struggled to hit his 23-ball 7.

Rohit started his boundary barrage with two sixes and a four off Ebaot to bring it down to 41 off 24. He mostly had the weaker side of the tail for company. Mahmudullah and Mustafizur strengthened Bangladesh’s position once more by keeping Siraj mostly on strike and allowing only one run in two overs. Rohit smoked Mahmudullah for two sixes, got two lives in four balls, and lost Siraj with 40 to go off 12 before reducing it to 20 needed off six but failing to finish it on the final ball.

BAN vs IND 2nd ODI: The 151 km/h delivery from Umran Malik pitched long and just slightly straightened. The ball shattered Najmul Hossain Shanto’s off stump as he was rooted to the crease and brought his bat down very late.

In the second one-day international against Bangladesh, Umran Malik put on an exhibition of express fast-bowling that included accuracy, aggression, hostility, and pace. On Wednesday, the tearaway right-arm pacer, who is easily the fastest Indian pacer currently in use, sent Najmul Hossain Shanto’s off stump for a cartwheel with a 151 km/h thunderbolt in the first ball of his next over after giving Shakib Al Hasan, one of the best all-rounders in the world, a nightmare time in his first over.

Umran was named in place of Mohammed Shami, who was out with a shoulder injury and was not in India’s ODI squad for the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh. Because the speedster from Jammu and Kashmir had just arrived in Dhaka from Christchurch, India decided not to field Umran in the first ODI on Sunday. Kuldeep Sen, an exciting fast bowler from India, received his India cap. However, after he was ruled out with a stiff neck, Umran Malik was immediately drafted into the XI for the crucial match.

Right away, Malik had a significant impact on the match.

With his rapid pace, the 23-year-old mellowed Bangladesh’s senior pro Shakib Al Hasan. On the second ball of Umran Malik’s opening over, Shakib was hit in the back by a bouncer. Shakib was hit on the helmet by a couple more quick, low-pitched balls. Umran started his spell by bowling a maiden.

Shanto, the other left-hander, watched Umran pound Shakib with short balls from the opposite end. When it came time for him to strike Malik’s next over, he clearly expected the ball to go over his head, but Umran went with a length delivery instead. The delivery at 151 km/h just slightly straightened after pitching on a length. The ball shattered Shanto’s off stump because he was rooted to the crease and was very late in bringing his bat down.

This was Malik’s fourth ODI. After returning to the Indian team for the New Zealand tour, he had a huge impact.

WI vs NZ, 2nd ODI: New Zealand 212 (Allen 96, Mitchell 41, Sinclair 4-41) beat West Indies 161 (Cariah 51, Joseph 49, Southee 4-22) by 50 runs (DLS technique)

Finn Allen made 96 and Tim Southee took 4 for 22 as New Zealand beat West Indies by 50 runs in a rain affected encounter in the second ODI to even out the three-match series. New Zealand made 212 batting first and the West Indies were in quite a while at 27 for 6, possibly facing their lowest-ever total in an ODI, until a long rain break and striking late-order batting steered the match.

At the point when the rain halted late at night at Kensington Oval, West Indies, who were 63 for 7 at the break, were left to pursue 212 from just 51 overs. They found an unusual hero in Yannic Cariah who posted his first half-century in an ODI and imparted a 85-run partnership with Alzarri Joseph (49) which raised the expectations for the home team.

Joseph fell with the all out at 157 for 9 and Cariah was the last man out for 52 with the total at 161 to make Sunday’s third ODI the series decider. Trent Boult and Southee joined to crash through the West Indies top and middle order, leaving the host team six wickets down in the tenth over. Southee got done with 4 for 22 and Boult 3 for 18.

Prior, Allen fell four runs short of a maiden century as New Zealand overcame the loss of its captain and a faltering begin to post 212 in 48.2 overs. Captain Kane Williamson was ruled out with a quad muscle strain suffered in the first match of the three-match series which the West Indies won by five wickets.

Stand-in captain Tom Latham was among three players to fall early as New Zealand attempted to 31 for 3 in the tenth over. He was out for a three-ball duck while Martin Guptill fell for 3 and Devon Conway for 6.

Allen revived the innings with an 84-run partnership with Daryl Mitchell (41) for the fourth wicket. The pair remained together for 20 overs to guide New Zealand into a stronger position at 115-4 when Mitchell top-edged an attempted trudge over midwicket and was caught at square leg.

New Zealand failed to build from a promising position.

Allrounder Michael Bracewell (6) and the power hitters Phillips (9) and Neesham (1) came and went quickly. Allen at last was out for 96 on the first ball of the 41st over when New Zealand were 165 for 7. He had faced 117 balls and hit three sixes and seven fours.

“It was nice to get the team off to what we thought was a competitive total, I was disappointed to leave us about 10 overs short. I thought there were stills a few runs out there which we could have put on the seal the deal a bit more.”

Allen said after the match.

The New Zealand innings again lost direction in his absence, however Mitchell Santner really tried to rally the tail. He found a capable partner in Boult who remained with him for five overs during which the pair added an important 31 for the last wicket, directing New Zealand past their all out of 190 which proved inadequate in the first match.

Boult at last was out for 16, giving offspinner Sinclair his fourth wicket of the innings. Sinclair got done with 4 for 41 as spinners shared six wickets.

Reece Topley got 6 for 24, his best figures in ODI cricket, featured with the ball as England crushed India by 100 runs in the second ODI at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. With this success, England evened out the three-match series 1-1 in front of the last game in Manchester on Sunday.

Subsequent to being placed in, England were themselves all out for 246 of every 49 overs, with Yuzvendra Chahal getting 4 for 47. In any event, getting to the extent that that was just potential because of a 62-run seventh-wicket stand between Moeen Ali and David Willey.

It seemed to be a harmless all out at the innings break yet India were in for a shock. 

Topley and Willey tracked down the development and additional skip to decrease India to 31 for 4 in the twelfth over. The recuperation never truly came, and their long tail – Mohammed Shami emerged at No. 8 – didn’t help their cause either. Eventually, they were bundled out for 146 in 38.5 overs.

Pursuing a total of 247, India were bowled out for a pitiful of 146 in 38.5 overs. Topley got back with figures of six for 24, the best by an England bowler at Lord’s. Prior, Yuzvendra Chahal featured with the ball as India bowled out England for 246 in the on going ODI at the Lord’s Cricket Stadium in London. Subsequent to being placed into bat, England started off very strong with openers Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow.

Hardik Pandya gave India the main forward leap as he dismissed Roy. Bairstow was then excused by Chahal, who likewise got the better of Joe Root and Ben Stokes. Mohammed Shami fortified Jos Buttler to hold under the syphon, yet Moeen Ali and David Willey’s thump of 47 and 41 assisted England with setting a difficult all out on the board. Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah likewise finished their spells with two wickets each while Prasidh Krishna also figured out how to take a wicket.

Career best figures for Topley, who joined with Willey to set the vibe for a quiet beginning by India.

Prior to the day, Jasprit Bumrah and Shami bowled a testing spell with the new ball, utilising the early dampness in the surface to inconvenience Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow.

Jason Roy looked the more provisional of the two England openers, getting beaten reliably on both inside and outside edge. Be that as it may, assuming the karma was with the Indian bowlers in the first ODI, where free drives brought endlessly edges found defenders, England were the lucky side on Thursday.

Subsequent to beating the outside edge of the two openers on various occasions, Shami tracked down within edge of Roy’s bat in the fifth over. But, the ball missed the stumps and went for four. In Shami’s next over, Bairstow tossed his bat at a length ball, got an outside edge, and got four through the equally emptied second slip region.

In the initial ten overs, the England batters played 22 misleading shots, same as  they did in that period in the first ODI. At The Oval those brought about five wickets; here they brought India only one wicket.

That one wicket was of Roy, who figured out how to get by against Bumrah and Shami yet tumbled to a half-volley from Hardik Pandya. He endeavoured a flick yet the bat turned in his grasp, bringing about a basic opportunity at a deep-backward square leg.

Jonny Bairstow, however, had begun looking risky and had moved to 38 off 37 balls when he went for a trudge clear against Chahal, just to miss it totally with the ball clacking into the leg stump.

Before long, Chahal heaved one to Joe Root who excessively neglected to interface the scope and was caught lbw. In the following over, Shami fortified Jos Buttler with a full conveyance to make it 87 for 4.

Ben Stokes attempted to take on Chahal, hitting four opposite clears in succession, two of them getting him fours. Nonetheless, it was the very shot against the very bowler that brought about his excusal, lbw for 21.

Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik had recently begun the rebuilding process when Topley struck once more, with Suryakumar hacking one onto his stumps. Hardik and Ravindra Jadeja took the side beyond 100 preceding Hardik top-edged a draw against Moeen to deep midwicket.

Jadeja and Shami added 39 for the seventh wicket yet that only delayed the unavoidable. Towards the end, Topley bowled Chahal for his maiden five-wicket pull and wrapped up the game three balls later.
