IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Update: The three-match IND vs AUS ODI series was opened beautifully with a compelling low-scoring fixture in Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on March 17. Although India managed to pull off the victory in the 1st ODI, at times it seemed to have gone Australia's way. The victory got India up and running in the ODI series with a 1-0 lead and now both IND and AUS are off to their second venue - Vishakhapatnam. Down below is everything you need to know about IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Update, Rain Chances and Pitch Report.



The IND vs AUS 2nd ODI is set to be held in Vishakhapatnam's Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on March 19 (Sunday). The contest between India and Australia will begin at 1:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).



With India taking up the lead in the first match itself, Australia will be under the pump to perform highly and win the second encounter to keep the series alive. Importantly, Australia has lost the test series recently and they would want to leave India empty-handed, which makes the ongoing IND vs AUS ODI series important for the visitors.



<h2>IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Update</h2>



Vishakhapatnam is expected to see some showers on March 19. The temperature will hover around 26 degrees during the day and is anticipated to drop to 23 degrees celsius during the night. Sky will be mostly covered throughout the day on March 19th. Humidity is predicted to be around 94 per cent. 



<h2>IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Rain Chances</h2>



The city of Vishakhapatnam is expected to witness good rain showers and thunderstorms on the match day. The chances of rain throughout the day will hover around 31-51 per cent. However, there is as high as an 80 per cent chance of rain during the day and 49 per cent at night.



<h2>IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Pitch Report</h2>



Over the years, trends show Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium to be a batting-friendly surface. However, there has been some help for the spinners too. The ground dimensions aren't too big which makes it easy for the batters to smack the bowlers out of the park. The average first innings score at this venue is clocked at 265 while it drops to 257 in the second innings. Clearly, opting to bat first would be the ideal choice for the captain who wins the toss.

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Update, Rain Chances, Pitch Report for India vs Australia 2nd ODI

ind-vs-aus-2nd-odi-weather-update-rain-chances-pitch-report-for-india-vs-australia-2nd-odi

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction: The Men in Blue grabbed a pleasing victory in the 1st ODI on 17 March in Wankhede Stadium and now both, India and Australia will head to Visakhapatnam for the 2nd ODI. IND vs AUS 2nd ODI will be held at the VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam from 1:30 PM IST onwards.&nbsp;



With regular captain Rohit Sharma back in the lineup, Team India will aim to seal the three-match ODI series against Australia on Sunday, March 19. The visitors will be without their regular captain and more importantly, world-class bowler Pat Cummins, during this series. Australian skipper Pat Cummins decided to spend time with his family rather than attend the ongoing ODI series. In his absence, Steve Smith has been given the reins.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/IND-AUS-24.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Team, Pitch Report, Playing 11, Where to Watch Australia tour of India 2023?" class="wp-image-104883" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs AUS 1st ODI: KL Rahul's 73 and Ravindra Jadeja's 45 upset Australia in the 1st ODI </figcaption></figure>



Australia need to win this game in order to keep the series alive. In the first ODI, they were outplayed and bowled out for just 188 while still having plenty of overs left. Even yet, the bowlers produced outstanding cricket, which put India in a difficult position during the short chase. KL Rahul's 75 runs and Ravindra Jadeja's 45 runs and outstanding bowling allowed India to win the match with 5 wickets remaining.



David Warner, who missed the 1st ODI is reportedly healthy enough to participate in the 2nd ODI. A change will be made to the batting order as Alex Carey, who was absent for the first game, is also expected to return. Mitchell Marsh or Travis Head will be dropped from the batting order. Josh Inglis would likely lose out to Carey. By 1 pm IST, when the toss lands, we will be informed of the playing 11.

<h2 id="ind-vs-aus-2nd-odi-pitch-report">IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Pitch Report</h2>



A recent T20I game between South Africa and India was played here; the pitch was quite slow, which suited the spinners. With an average run rate of 6.04 runs per over in the ODIs played here, the pitch at this venue is reputed to help the batsmen altogether. This indicates that in the forthcoming match, the batters will likely come hard, especially against the pacers.



In this stadium, the average score in the first inning is 241, and in the second inning, it is 211. Typically favorable for batting and assists spinners, but with rain in the forecast, this may not be the case as the ball may skid for pacers.

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma "disappointed" with India's 10 wicket loss against Australia: Following a low-scoring exciting win in Wankhede Stadium in the IND vs AUS 1st ODI, team India suffered a drubbing at the hands of Australia in the subsequent match to neutralise the lead in the 2nd ODI in Vishakhapatnam, earlier today. The Men in Blue had a bizarre off day at business where nothing went their way but disappointment as they lost the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI by 10 wickets.



Team India skipper, Rohit Sharma was visibly not pleased with how the team performed in the match and expressed his disappointment during the post-match presentation. He reckons that the surface had no such demons and the batters didn't apply themselves to put more than 117 runs on board.



"If you lose a game, it is just disappointing," said Rohit Sharma in the post-match presentation. "We didn't apply ourselves with the bat. Didn't put enough runs on the board. It wasn't a 117 wicket. Kept losing wickets and that didn't allow us to get the runs we wanted."



India lost wickets in a flurry and the innings couldn't even get a single partnership going. India's innings was wrapped at a meagre total of 117 runs by the Australian bowlers.



"Once we lost Shubman in the first over, myself and Virat got 30-35 runs quickly. But then I lost my wicket and we lost a couple of wickets back to back. That put us on the back foot. It's always tough to come back from that situation," he added.



Meanwhile, the bowlers also had a hard time troubling the Australian openers, who looked unharmed in their execution. Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head were too hot to handle for the Indian bowlers, be it pace or spin.



Australia chased down a total of 117 runs in just 11 overs with 10 wickets intact. They also created a record of chasing the target in the quickest time against India in ODIs - in 11 overs. Previously New Zealand held this record when they chased down 93 runs against India in just 14.4 overs.



<h2>IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma heaps praise on Mitchell Starc</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Mitchell-Starc.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma &quot;disappointed&quot; with India's 10 wicket loss against Australia" class="wp-image-104913" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mitchell Starc scalped a fifer against India in 2nd ODI | Image: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



One of the key architects of the Australian victory against India today was pacer Mitchell Starc, who looked daunting in his first spell. Starc once again threatened the Indian batters with his sharp in-swinging deliveries. He kept the batters guessing and under pressure during his first spell of six overs, where the ball was doing enough movement.



The seasoned pacer scalped the wickets of Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul and Mohammad Siraj to complete his ninth fifer in ODI cricket.



"Starc is a quality bowler. He has been doing it for Australia with the new ball. He kept bowling to his strength. Swung the new ball and took the odd-ball away. Kept the batters guessing," said Rohit Sharma.



India and Australia will now square off for one final time on March 22 in Chennai to play out of the series decider. With the series tied at 1-1, the 3rd ODI in Chennai will be crucial for both sides.

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction: After defeating Australia by 5 wickets, Team India is all set to once again lock horns against the visitors Australia in the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI. KL Rahul-led Indian side indeed looked overpowered against that Australian side. This article will walk you through the India vs Australia Dream11 Team, and Holkar Cricket Stadium (Indore) Pitch Report.

Rahul made his international cricket comeback during the Asia Cup, where he played a crucial role in India's success in Sri Lanka. Under the leadership of KL Rahul, India is leading the ongoing three-match ODI series against Australia 1-0. Through a second straight triumph over the Australians, India would love to clinch the series early.



India won the toss and chose to ball first in the 1st ODI at Mohali. They got regular breakthroughs and a sensational fifer of Shami restricted Australia to just 276 runs. In response, the 142 runs opening stand set the tone and despite losing a few quick wickets, India never seemed in the backfoot and won the match by 5 wickets.



Shubman Gill (74) scored his first ODI half-century yesterday, Ruturaj(71) was exceptional at the top with a half-century and KL Rahul (58*) also smacked a 50 to seal the first victory.



India and Australia will battle in the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore on 24 September. The match is scheduled to start at 1:30 PM IST. While Australia would be highly desperate to level the series, the host will be playing to keep the momentum running and seal the series.

Another batting paradise and going to be better as the game progresses. Some assistance for the bowlers upfront but spinners will have to work hard to grab any wicket. Batting first here is the best choice as the average 1st innings score is above 320.



Pacers have taken 48 wickets at an average of 46.10 in the six games played in this venue, while spin bowlers have taken 37 wickets at an average of 34.24. Out of the six matches, teams batting first have won four times, while the other two have been won by teams chasing.

ind-vs-aus-2nd-odi-dream11-prediction-india-vs-australia-dream11-team-holkar-cricket-stadium-indore-pitch-report

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: The number 1 ODI ranked Team India and the host are all set to lock horns against the visitors Australia in the 2nd match of the 3-match ODI series today on September 24, 2023, at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. In this article, we present the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Holkar Stadium.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-aus-2nd-odi-weather-forecast">IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-aus-1st-odi-pitch-report-of-holkar-stadium">IND vs AUS 1st ODI Pitch Report of Holkar Stadium</a></li></ul></nav></div>



India have already won the first match and winning this match will secure the series for them, while any loss to Australia in the upcoming 2 matches will cost them the series and might lower the injury-halted squad's confidence. 



The good news for Australia is that Glenn Maxwell is fit and you might see him running around with the team. His inclusion will definitely strengthen the line-up.



Australia, however, has had a little outlier. The five-time winners suffered their fourth straight ODI loss to India, which is uncharacteristic in a year with a World Cup. In fact, Australia rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat India 3-2 in the run-up to the 2019 World Cup. But this time around, South Africa overcame Australia 3-2 despite falling down 0-2 this time, giving Australia a taste of their own medicine.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/09/Team-India-15-1024x600.jpg" alt="LIVE IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Holkar Stadium | India vs Australia 2nd ODI" class="wp-image-120055" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs AUS 2nd ODI | Pic Credit: Twitter, BCCI</figcaption></figure>



India, on the other hand, is going through top-notch luck and performance. KL Rahul has a pressure hundred and an unbeaten captain's half-century under his belt. Suryakumar Yadav has some runs against his name. Siraj took a six-wicket haul in the final of the Asia Cup and Shami took a 5-wicket haul in the first ODI. Overall, Team India is in good health and looking promising for the World Cup this year.



Ravichandran Ashwin ought to play again considering his strong performance in the first game. India will be hoping that Iyer and Kishan resume scoring runs. The bowlers will probably be switched around again, though. It makes sense to rest Jasprit Bumrah and play Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami in Indore with just two days between ODIs.



Down below is the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Holkar Stadium:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-aus-2nd-odi-weather-forecast">IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast</h2>



IND vs AUS | The 2nd ODI of Australia Tour Of India will take place on September 24 (Sunday) at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. The play begins at 1:30 PM IST.

According to weather.com, it is an overcast, and humid day with a partially clear sky in Indore city of India. The weather forecast shows a slight possibility of rain during the game. The temperature of India?s Indore city will stay at 30?C for the most part of the day till the evening and drop further to 26?C at night.



There are moderate 33% chances of rain at around 5-6 PM. Around a 15% chance of rain at the start of the play and it goes slightly up to 25% at night. Humidity is in a moderate range, hovering around 70-80%. Winds will gust toward the Northwest at the speed of ~8kmph during the day.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-aus-1st-odi-pitch-report-of-holkar-stadium">IND vs AUS 1st ODI Pitch Report of Holkar Stadium</h2>



The Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore has a reputation for offering batting-friendly conditions, leading to high-scoring contests. This is mostly because of the venue's constant bounce and shorter boundaries (around 70m straight). Spinners could enter the fray as the game goes on, but it will be difficult for them to get wickets.



Some exceptional innings have been scored at Indore, notably Rohit Sharma's insane 36-ball century against Sri Lanka in 2018 and Virender Sehwag's once-highest ODI score of 219 in 2011, 250+ T20I scores and 400+ ODI scores. Expect a brutal test for the bowlers in their World Cup preparation, as well as the best opportunity for out-of-sorts hitters to accumulate some runs.

Rishabh Pant, who was struggling throughout the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, went on to slam a 29-ball fifty in the second innings of the fifth test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. His innings gave India a massive chance to stick into the game and have some hopes going into the third day. This is not new that Pant has slammed a quickfire knock.
Even in the past, he has played some blazing innings. India have a rich history of batsmanship. Over the years, there have been many Indian flamboyant batters who have made the world notice the game. This article will include some of those batters, where we will talk about the top five fastest half-centuries in test cricket for the Indian cricket team.
<h2>Top Five Fastest Half-Centuries for Team India in Test Cricket</h2>
5. Yashasvi Jaiswal (31 balls) vs Bangladesh, 2024
Yashasvi Jaiswal is among the new generation of batting stars for India. He has already shown that he is a special talent. He slammed the joint-fourth fastest test fifty for India. He slammed a 31-ball fifty against Bangladesh in Kanpur in September 2024. India declared 285/9 in just 34.4 overs. Jaiswal also scored 51 not out in the second innings and won the MOTM award.
4. Shardul Thakur (31 balls) vs England, 2021
Shardul Thakur is known for his bowling ability, but he knows how to use the long handle. He has shown that time to time that he is capable with the bat as well. Shardul has twin half-centuries at the Oval against England in 2021. He made 57 and 60 in the game, and India won that by 157 runs. The fifty in the first innings came off just 31 balls. He made 57 off 36 balls, with 7 fours and three sixes.
3. Kapil Dev (30 balls) vs Pakistan, 1982
Former Indian captain Kapil Dev was a swashbuckling cricketer who had the ability to win games with bat and ball both. He played many game-changing innings in his career. One of those came against Pakistan in 1982 in Karachi. Though India lost that game, Kapil was at his best. He slammed a 30-ball fifty in the first innings and made 73 off 53, with 12 fours and one six.He also took 5/102 with the ball.
2. Rishabh Pant (29 balls) vs Australia, 2025
Pant is among the fearless cricketers in modern-day cricket. He has played some game-changing knocks, and one came in the New Year test against Australia at SCG. India were down and out after losing their top order. That's when he came out and slammed a 29-ball fifty and scored 61 off 33 balls, with six fours and four sixes. His innings helped India to get back into the game.
1. Rishabh Pant (28 balls) vs Sri Lanka, 2022
Pant also holds the record for the fastest Test fifty for India. It came against Sri Lanka in 2022 in Bengaluru. Pant scored 39 off 26 in the first innings. He carried on in the second innings and slammed a 28-ball fifty. He made 50 off 31 balls, with seven fours and two sixes to register the fastest fifty for India. The hosts won the game by 238 runs.

List of Fastest Half-Centuries for India in Test Cricket

India suffered a massive blow when ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah left the field on Day 2 of the ongoing fifth and final test between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground. On the second day, Bumrah only bowled 8 more overs and was seen in discomfort.
He left the field just after lunch on day 1 after bowling one over. He had a word with Virat Kohli, who led the team in his absence. Later he was seen going to the hospital for precautionary scans and left SCG with security liaison officer Anshuman Upadhyay and the team doctor.
It left India with no choice, and the other pacers had to share the workload. However, the Indian bowlers bowled pretty well and dismissed Australia for 181 runs in 51 overs, giving a four-run lead to India, but Bumrah's injury became the talking point of the town.
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah's injury update: Pacer returns to SCG after undergoing scans</h2>
It came as a body blow to the touring team, who were already struggling to survive in the series, when Jasprit Bumrah had to leave the ground. After a wait of a couple of hours, the pacer returned at the venue around 11:15 AM IST on Saturday. However, he was in discomfort when he left the field, but when he came back, he looked pretty relaxed.
It can be a confidence booster for Team India and fans, as Bumrah's body language indicated that there is no sign of worry. Notably, India will be bowling in the fourth innings, and they need their best bowler at his full throttle. Bumrah is the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing series. He has taken 32 wickets at an exceptional average of 13.05.
Even on Day 2, he took an important wicket of Marnus Labuschagne. In his absence, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj stepped up and bowled pretty well. Both pacers took three wickets each, and Nitish Kumar Reddy also supported them with two vital wickets.
At the stumps on Day 2, India finished at 141/6, and they have a lead of 145 with four wickets in hand. Ravindra Jadeja (8 off 39) and Washington Sundar (6 off 17) are at the crease. The Indian top order failed once again, but it was Rishabh Pant who slammed India's second-fastest fifty off 29 balls.
He scored 61 off 33 balls, with six fours and four sixes to bring back India into the game. However, India lost a couple of wickets at the very end, which has made the game pretty even. But India would hope to have a sizable lead of around 200 runs, and with Bumrah completely fit, they will fancy their chances on this tough pitch.

The crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground has always been under the scanner, especially when the Indian team plays. During the last Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the fans in Sydney didn't go easy on the Indian players as they made life tough for them. 
During the last Test between India and Australia, Indian players in Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were at the receiving end of racial slurs. The players of the team were abused by the fans, and it turned out to be a big controversy, with Sydney Cricket management banning the particular section of the ground. 
A similar kind of thing unfolded on Day 1 of the ongoing match between India and Australia. Again, a particular section of the crowd came under the radar. The fans were abusing Indian fans in the stadium as they were seen chanting, "Where is your visa?". The video went viral on the internet with many lashing out at fans. 
The people at the Sydney Cricket Ground were also seen booing Indian players as well. They had a go at Virat Kohli and then later Jasprit Bumrah, who was involved in a massive fight with Sam Konstas during the last over of Day 1 of the ongoing Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. 
Coming to the match, Australia started the last day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on a dominating note. The visitors carried their good form and put India under massive pressure at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. The start with the bat didn't go the way India would've wanted as both the openers, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal, were back early. Shubman Gill, who replaced Rohit Sharma, played a decent hand of 20 runs off 64 balls with two boundaries. 
He, along with Virat Kohli (17), added 40 runs for the third wicket. But both the batters couldn't bat for long as India was left tottering at 72 for four. Rishabh Pant (40) batted with great grit and looked solid before he yet again perished to a wild shot. Ravindra Jadeja (26), too, had a start, but he too couldn't get going for long as India was reduced to 148/8. Captain Jasprit Bumrah (22) hit some shots in the end and took the team to a total of 185. 
Australia, in response, lost Usman Khawaja as Jasprit Bumrah bagged his 31st wicket of the series. At stumps, Australia was 9 for one with 176 runs behind.
