IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Highlights:
Australia have been utterly dominant today, and Mitchell Marsh finishes proceedings with a fine boundary, thrashing it behind point for a four. Australia win by 10 wickets, chasing down a target of 118 in just 11 overs.
Rohit Sharma - "Did not put enough runs on the board. It wasn't a 117 wicket. We didn't apply ourself."
Well, this is not the first instance where India lost by such high wickets margin. Cricket lovers witnessed the same in some previous matches as well:
VS New Zealand - 1981
VS West indies - 1997
VS South Africa - 2000
VS South Africa - 2005
VS Australia - 2020
VS Australia - 2023
Australia put India in to bat and struck early as Starc had Shubman Gill caught at point for a duck with a wider ball in the first over and the left-armer then dismissed Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav off successive balls a little later.
Skipper Rohit, back after missing India's five-wicket win in the series opener due to family commitments, was caught at slip for 13 while the explosive Suryakumar fell lbw in the next ball to leave India in trouble at 32-3 inside five overs.
KL Rahul enjoyed a return to form in the last match with an unbeaten 75, but he fell victim to a sharp inswinger from Starc and Hardik Pandya joined him in the pavilion shortly after thanks to a spectacular catch by Smith.
The Australia captain flew to his right to pull off a one-handed blinder at slip in Sean Abbott's second over as the hosts lost half their side for 49 on a track that offered the quick bowlers some early swing and bounce.
After a spell of low-risk cricket, India lost Virat Kohli when Nathan Ellis trapped him lbw for 31 in the 16th over and the paceman then had Ravindra Jadeja caught behind for 16 to snuff out the home side's hopes of a late comeback.
Abbott removed Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Shami before Axar Patel (29 not out) carted Starc for two big sixes but the bowler rattled Mohammed Siraj's stumps as India were restricted to their lowest ODI total against Australia at home.
