2nd ODI: Rohit And Iyer's Fifties Take India To 264/9, Zampa & Bartlett Shine For Aus
Although Adam Zampa: Thanks to fifties from Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer, India recovered from early setbacks to post 264/9 in their 50 overs in the second ODI against Australia at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday. Apart from the duo, Axar Patel’s 44 and a late 37-run stand between Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh ensured India had a competitive total on board.
Asked to bat first, India struggled in the powerplay as Xavier Bartlett struck twice in one over, dismissing Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli to leave the visitors reeling at 17/2 in 6.5 overs. Rohit had a scratchy start, including surviving a relentless seven-over spell from Josh Hazlewood. However, he found his rhythm to anchor the innings with 73 off 97 balls – laced with nine fours and two sixes.
Iyer complemented him well with a steady 61 off 77 balls, including seven boundaries, as the pair shared a 118-run partnership to stabilise the innings. Although Adam Zampa threatened to trigger another mini-collapse, crucial runs from Axar, Rana, and Arshdeep ensured India finished with a competitive total.
