2nd ODI in numbers: Several records broken as Australia sink India | cricket news
New Delhi: Pacer Mitchell Starc proved to be the main tormentor with the ball while half-centuries from opener Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head helped Australia seal a 10-wicket win over India in the second one-dayer in Visakhapatnam. To flatten the chain.
Starc was at his classy best as he took his 9th five-wicket haul as the visitors bundled out India for 117 in 26 overs. Marsh and Head then chased down the target in the blink of an eye and took the Aussies home in just 11 overs.
It was an afternoon of records for both the teams. For India, the hosts were on the wrong side of the history books and several unfair records will haunt them for some time. Australia, on the other hand, enjoyed a perfect day and rewrote the books with a clinical performance.
