After a 5-wicket win in the first match of the three-match ODI, India are going for a big win against Australia in the second match. The target for Australia in the second match was 400 runs, 400 runs in 50 overs is very difficult. It is natural that Australia's game will be a bit chaotic where the target is 400 runs. From the beginning they were under pressure to score 400 runs, that's why the Australian batsmen batted under a lot of pressure from the start, as a result of which they lost eight wickets, failing to score 150 runs. Australia need 161 more runs to win this match and India need just two more wickets. Very soon we may see India announced as the winning team of this match.

Whats going in India vs Australia ODI series? India completely dominating the series. Today they scored 399 runs by batting first and that's something not easy to chase. Today there is no Virat and Rohit but still they manage to give such a huge target. India are in great form just before the world cup and that makes them ideal candidate for the World cup. Now the question is whether India can whitewash Australia or Australians can save themselves from such humiliation.
In Asia Cup, India team performance was also remarkable and now in this ODI series too India team set a huge target. India's team is improve its performance day by day. In this ODI series, India is leading 2-0. Today match was affected by rain which created difficulties for  Australia team batting. But I do not think Australia could chased down this big target even if rain had not intervened. Both S. Gill and S. Iyer completed centuries in this match and in previous match S. Gill showed an excellent batting performance. If India continues to perform like this they can easily win next match as well.
Good to see Indian batsmen scoring good against the Australia team with much confidence and in a much comfortable manner. What needs to continue is the consistent performance. The problem arises when India tour other countries. Being on the home ground, India team players are good enough to score as well as defend. Away from home venue limited players used to perform well, rest used to return to the pavilion scoring mere runs. Anyhow this is a big win for India team before the start of ODI World Cup.
