Summary
- India's captain acknowledges batting failures in ODIs.
- Australia won the second ODI by five wickets.
- Young Australian batters show promise for the future.
India's hopes of a strong showing in the ODI series against Australia have been hampered by batting inconsistencies, according to captain Harmanpreet Kaur. Following their T20I series victory, the team has lost the first two One Day Internationals.
In the second ODI, India posted 251/9 after choosing to bat, with contributions from Harmanpreet Kaur and Pratika Rawal. However, Australia successfully chased the target, securing victory by five wickets with overs to spare. Kaur highlighted the recurring issue of losing wickets at crucial moments, which she believes has cost the team.
Australia's captain, Alyssa Healy, expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, particularly their successful chase. She lauded the emerging talent of Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield, who played significant roles in the victory and are seen as key players for Australia's future. Voll credited Litchfield for easing pressure during their partnership.
