IND v AUS 2nd ODI Playing 11 and toss updates for today's match - 29th November 2020
With a 0-1 deficit, India go into the second ODI match against Australia at Sydney facing a must-win situation to stay alive in the three-match series.
Australia hammered India by 66 runs in the first one-dayer at the SCG. Batting first after winning the toss, Australia posted a solid 374 on the board, built around hundreds from skipper Aaron Finch and Steve Smith. India could only manage 308 for 8 in response, despite fifties from Shikhar Dhawan and Hardik Pandya.
In the humungous chase, India got off to a rapid start with the new opening duo of Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agarwal lifting the side to 53 in the first five overs. However, a barrage of short balls from Australia medium-pacer Josh Hazlewood saw India lose their way, after which leg-spinner Adam Zampa chipped in with four wickets.
The Indian bowlers had a horrible day, with Yuzvendra Chahal going for 89 in his 10 and Navdeep Saini and Jasprit Bumrah also proving to be very expensive.
