India v Australia 2nd ODI Betting Tips & Predictions
India and Australia return to competitive action when taking part in the second One Day International match of the series at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Tuesday morning. UK followers are set for an early start with the coin expected to go up at around 8.00am. Here are our top India v Australia 2nd ODI betting tips.
The pair last faced-off on Saturday afternoon in a tight match that was eventually won by the hosts by a narrow six wickets margin. India have their noses in front in this five-game series; however, what we witnessed on Saturday suggests they won’t be allowed to sit back and admire their work. Australia rate as a dangerous opponent determined to keep things competitive.
A brief break to allow players and the coaching staff to rest up and reflect on the 1st ODI, before planning their attack on the second. However, will we see India rage into a commanding 2-0 advantage? Or will the tourists roll up their sleeves and blast their way back into contention?
Bookmakers are betting on both the series outright and the 2nd ODI with a number of exciting markets offered on each. The series betting has responded to India’s early lead. Backers looking to support the locals will find them marked up as strong favourites to build on their success and go all the way. That will appear in a fair share of selections, no doubt.
Tight Opener
The opening match of this One Day International series was as tight as you would expect. Two talented international sides face-off with the World Cup looming; the six wickets winning margin is a fair reflection of how the contest went. The final scores read India 240-4 (48.2) against the 236-7 (50.0) of their opponents.
It’ll go down as a strong team effort from the victors with match winners coming from every department. However, it wouldn’t be unfair to say two men stood head and shoulders above the rest. MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav glistened when putting in an eye-catching 141-run stand to catapult their teammates towards the finish line. With the match hanging in the balance, Dhoni and Jadhav broke Australian hearts with a performance way beyond anything the visitors had in their locker.
Oz couldn’t grumble; at the conclusion, they were forced to admit they were beaten by the better team on the day. The battle went to the Indian warriors; however, there’s still plenty of fight left in this war. How both teams respond to that result will be important. It will have a major say on which team goes on to claim the spoils when the series comes to a conclusion on 13 March. Attentions will then turn to the ICC World Cup where India open against Bangladesh in Cardiff and Australia get up-and-running vs England at Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
