In a thrilling encounter at the Adelaide Oval, Australia defeated India by 2 wickets in the 2nd ODI, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Chasing India’s total of 264/9, powered by Rohit Sharma’s 73 off 97 balls and Shreyas Iyer’s 61 off 77, Australia relied on half-centuries from Matthew Short and Cooper Connolly to edge past the target. Australian skipper Mitchell Marsh had opted to bowl first after winning the toss. India’s top order, including Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, put up resistance, but Australia’s balanced batting and disciplined bowling sealed the victory with ease.
