Australia vs India Prediction: Virat Kohli has five international centuries at Adelaide Oval.
The return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli was spoiled totally by rain and Australian bowlers, as the two scored a combined 8 runs. India also had a top-order collapse, which resulted in the game ending in favor of Australia by seven wickets. With a 1-0 lead, Australia will now take on India in the second ODI. This game will be live from Adelaide Oval, starting at 9 AM IST on October 23 (Thursday).
Indian batters found it hard to get going, and the bounce was difficult to adjust to for them. Bowlers didn't have much to defend, and it was a comfortable chase for Australia. India might look to go with the same team and try to work on their batting. Shubman Gill lost his opening game as captain and will be looking to get a "W" in front of his name. India will be desperate to win the game and head into the final game with 1-1.

India: Among the current top order for India, captain Shubman Gill is in good form. He scored runs in Tests and T20Is and has five Test hundreds in the last 3-4 months.
Australia: Mitchell Marsh is in dream form. He is scoring runs in T20Is and took that form into the first ODI, winning the Man of the Match award.
AUS vs IND: Probable Best Bowler
India: Arshdeep Singh is brilliant for these pitches. He can swing the ball and also bowls well in death overs. Then, he can also contain batters who go hard against him.
Australia: Josh Hazlewood bowled well in the first ODI. He has been bowling in good rhythm, and it is showing in the way he is bowling.
Australia vs India Today’s Match Prediction: After the first defeat, India will come prepared for the second game. They have batters with experience, and the wicket in Adelaide will suit the Indian style. Hence, one can expect a better show from the visitors. But Australia will be looking to execute their plans, like they did in the first game.
Secondly, the toss will be crucial in this game. There might be rain, and that means whoever bowls first will have an edge on the conditions. Hazlewood and Starc with the new ball give Australia an edge. India need to find a way to score against them without losing wickets. As of now, Australia are favorites to beat India in the second ODI.
