INDvsAUS 2nd ODI: Match Report

Australia dominated India with their bowling attack after deciding to ball first

Starc was the destructor in chief for Australia with the new ball in the first ODI, here he is again. Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shubman Gill all fell to him. Rohit Sharma has had his own problems to deal with against left-arm pace. Shubman Gill hit the ball toward the point fielder and Australia got their first wicket. Although India lost an early wicket, they still reached 32 runs in the first four overs. The fifth over completely changed the course of the match.

The left-arm curse strikes again for the Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Edged and caught at first slip by Steve Smith, a fine catch by the Australian captain. On the next ball, Starc sent Suryakumar Yadav to the pavilion by lbw and he was on a hattrick for the second game in a row. He missed his hattrick chance but a double wicket maiden from Starc was everything, that Australia needed. Starc just didn't stop there and went on to take his fourth wicket by sending Rahul for only 9 runs.

Hardik Pandya also failed to contribute to his team as Sean Abbott claimed the wicket. Steve Smith with a blinder at the first slip. Ravindra Jadeja came in & with Virat Kohli, he made a good partnership but Nathan Ellis dismissed Virat Kohli on his very second delivery of the match for 31 runs & India lost their sixth wicket for just 71 runs on the scoresheet. Ellis picked up Ravindra Jadeja quite brilliantly as Alex Carey took the catch.

Axar Patel fought till the end & remained not out with 29* important runs for India. Sean Abbott sent Kuldeep & Shami both back to the dugout in the same over as India lost their ninth wicket for 103 runs. Mitchell Starc with the last blow helped to bundle out the Indian batting lineup for only 117 runs as he took his fifth wicket of the match.

Travis Head & Mitchell Marsh led Australia to their victory in the 2nd ODI as they levelled the INDvsAUS series by 1-1

India has been bowled out cheaply in the 2nd ODI. It is hard to recall when India batted badly in home conditions. Australia has been sensational with the ball. Steve Smith has been terrific with his captaincy and making the bowling changes at the right time. Starc looked in top form and bowled one of the best spells of his career picking up his ninth five-wicket haul. Now, it was just time to put the cherry on top by completing the chase easily. Travis Head & Mitchell Marsh took the responsibility and without any hesitation or pressure, Australia completed their chase within only 11 overs. Mitchell Marsh with a destructive inning of 66* runs in 36 deliveries with six sixes & six fours.

Travis Head also didn't fall behind as he scored 51* runs in only 30 deliveries with ten fours. Australia dominated India very much in the 2nd ODI with both bat & bowl. India just didn't get the chance to come back in the match. Australia took every chance they got & now the INDvsAUS series winner will be decided in the final ODI at Chennai.

The excitement of IPL 2025 is set to begin once again on May 17. However, the availability of foreign players has been a major challenge for many teams after the one-week postponement.

Many foreign players have returned to India for the remaining matches of IPL, but some have completely refused to come this season. One of them is the name of Australian legend Mitchell Starc. Starc was part of the Delhi Capitals team in IPL 2025.

Starc returned due to India-Pakistan tension

However, Mitchell Starc returned to Australia due to tensions between India and Pakistan. Starc was also involved in the match when there was a sudden blackout in the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala.

Many foreign players who played in this match were in shock, but now the situation has become normal and the tournament is starting again. In such a situation, there are many foreign players who have returned.

There is talk of imposing a penalty on Starc

Mitchell Starc was an important player for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, but Starc may be in trouble due to his non-return in the remaining matches. Starc was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 11.75 crore in the mega auction.

In such a situation, it is believed that the Delhi Capitals team can deduct the auction fee if he does not return for the remaining matches of the season, for which the Australian bowler is also said to be ready.

According to the report, Mitchell Starc may face a penalty of 400000 Australian dollars i.e. Rs 3.92 crore if he does not return to IPL 2025. This amount will be deducted from his auction fee.

Starc's performance in IPL 2025

Talking about Starc's performance in IPL 2025, he has taken 14 wickets in 11 matches for Delhi Capitals at an economy rate of 10.16. Starc bowled very economically this season. So, his return could prove to be a big loss for Delhi Capitals as the team is in dire need of wins to make it to the top four of the tournament. 

Delhi Capitals are currently fifth on the IPL 2025 Points Table and are among the four contenders for the playoffs’ spot. They have three matches remaining, and a win in at least two of them will take them closer to the qualification. Winning all three, will guarantee a top four finish.
