Aussies Vs Ind: 2nd ODI Tri-Series: Momentum is with Aussies

The ODI giants battle ahead of the World Cup 2015 at Melbourne. Yet, Aussies are clear favorites to win this battle at Melbourne.


The batting looks clearly dominating and with the win against England, their confidence must be already sky-rocketing. I liked their intent of completing 240 within 40 overs to win over a bonus point and that shows their killer instinct.


For at least his first two overs of any ODI, Starc has claims to being the world's most dangerous paceman. The fast, late swing he can generate with the new ball proved all too much for England at the SCG on Friday, more or less deciding the contest in the face of its first three deliveries. 

With new ODI rules of having 5 fielders inside the circle for the entire 50 overs, India should play with 5 specialist bowlers and play to their strengths by including two spinners in Akshar Patel and Ashwin. With Ishant and Jadeja nursing niggles, India's XI is almost finalized

Aussies should be able to nudge against India tomorrow.
