Adelaide Oval is set for a crucial encounter as Australia and India face off in the second of three One Day Internationals. After a dominant seven-wicket victory in Perth, Australia, led by Mitchell Marsh, look to seal the series. India, captained by Shubman Gill, are under pressure to bounce back after their disappointing performance in the first ODI.

Australia won the toss and elected to field first, a decision influenced by overcast conditions. The Australian pace attack, which proved lethal in Perth, will look to exploit the conditions once again. Australia have made changes to their lineup, with Alex Carey, Adam Zampa and Xavier Bartlett replacing Josh Philippe, Matthew Kuhnemann and Nathan Ellis respectively. India, however, have decided to stick with the same playing XI.

The spotlight is on the Indian top order, particularly Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who both failed to make an impact in the first ODI. Kohli, especially, will be aiming to rediscover his form at Adelaide Oval, a ground where he boasts an impressive record. However, in this match, Virat Kohli departed for his second consecutive duck. Rohit Sharma surpassed Sourav Ganguly's tally to become India's second-highest run-scorer as an ODI opener.

In the first ODI, India struggled against the pace and bounce of the Australian bowlers. KL Rahul (38) and Axar Patel (31) were the only batsmen who offered some resistance, helping India reach a total of 136. Australia chased down the target comfortably, with Mitchell Marsh remaining unbeaten on 46.

For Australia, a win in this match would secure the series. For India, victory is essential to keep the series alive and maintain momentum ahead of the T20Is. The match is scheduled to begin at 2:00 pm local time.

The Adelaide Oval has implemented several initiatives for fans attending the match. Road closures will be in effect around the stadium, and a sensory space is available near the East Gate entrance for those who require a calm environment.
