Australia and India gear up to face each other for the second time in the series at the Adelaide Oval on Tuesday. Australia started the ODI series on the right note after losing the Test series 2-1 to India. The hosts were clinical in their performance in the last match. They outperformed India in all three departments and the match saw the rise of some young stara in Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson as well.
The previous match, however, left India with a few things to ponder. One of the main things was MS Dhoni's place in the side after he took 96 deliveries for his 51 runs. The middle order failed once again after the failure of the top order. It leaves them with some catching up to do on this match. Australia is expected to go with an unchanged XI whereas India might consider a couple of changes. Vijay Shankar and Yuzvendra Chahal may come into the XI at the expense of Ravindra Jadeja and Khaleel Ahmed.
Weather and Pitch Conditions: Weather is expected to remain absolutely clear and hence, an uninterrupted game can be expected. The pitch will be good for the batsmen with a little help for the pacers during the initial overs.
Player Recommendations:
Wicket-keeper: Alex Carey (8.5 Cr)
The Australian wicket-keeper has been in good form in Big Bash League 2018-19. He has got a couple of fifties to his name this season batting at the top of the order and scored a nice

Player Recommendations:
Wicket-keeper: Alex Carey (8.5 Cr)
The Australian wicket-keeper has been in good form in Big Bash League 2018-19. He has got a couple of fifties to his name this season batting at the top of the order and scored a nice looking 24 while opening the innings for Australia last time around as well. He may well go on to get a big score in this match.
Batsman: Virat Kohli (11 Cr)
The Indian skipper might have perished to a casual shot in the last game. But that failure will make him even hungrier to perform in this match. A big knock is on the cards for Kohli.
All-Rounder: Marcus Stoinis (9.5 Cr)
The Australian all-rounder scored an unbeaten 47 with the bat and picked up two wickets with the ball in the last match. He is expected to do well in this match as well.
Bowler: Jhye Richardson (8.5 Cr)
The Young Aussie quick carried his Big Bash League form into this series for Australia and returned with superb bowling figures of four for 22 in the previous match. He has got raw pace and his slower deliveries are difficult to pick. He is a complete package.
Captain: Virat Kohli
Vice-Captain: Marcus Stoinis
