World News – USA – Defeated India is increasing against time to find the right mix in ODI

Sydney: India has only one day to recover from the psychological blow Australia inflicted on them by winning the first day International after they hit the Sydney Cricket Ground at the 50- Over format against India had achieved the highest total ever.

The two teams will face each other on Sunday in the second ODI at the same location.

Australia had hammered 374 for six wickets in 50 overs built on centuries by Captain Aaron Finch and Steve Smith, half a century by David Warner, and a 19-ball 45 by Glenn Maxwell.

Josh Hazlewood then rubbed salt on India’s wounds as he removed three of the top four batsmen in the first 10 overs with short deliveries when Virat Kohli’s team fell 66 runs behind despite a setback from Hardik Pandya.

The ODI series is the first for India in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, from which the seven best teams will qualify for the 2023 World Cup in India.

India, who played in retro jerseys from the 1992 World Cup, struggled on several counts – bowling and fielding did not live up to expectations, and their over rate was slow enough to force ICC to dock 20 percent of the players’ Gaming fees.

None of the bowlers except Mohammed Shami could go under six runs and over, with the leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal cashing 89 in his 10 overs. Chahal’s is the most by an Indian bowler in ODI history.

India could replace Chahal with Chinese bowler Kuldeep Yadav on Sunday, although the bigger problem for India is that there aren’t enough bowling options to support the five bowlers. This meant that unlike Australia, the team lacked an all-rounder.

Kohli complained after Saturday’s game that the team didn’t have anyone like Glenn Maxwell or Marcus Stoinis. « Unfortunately Hardik is not fit enough to roll and we don’t have any other all-round options to choose from, someone like Stoinis or Maxwell, » he said after the game. Pandya, who only plays as a batsman as his bowling is not ready to play, also agreed, saying India needs to prepare more all-rounders for the future. The lack of an all-round option means India has no one to fall back on in case a bowler has a day off, as Chahal did on Friday.

Australia, on the other hand, offers numerous all-round options. Despite Stoinis’ injury and dodgy second one-day game on Sunday, the hosts have a number of all-rounders to choose from, and Cameron Green is likely to take a look. Smith had praised Green in the post-game press, saying he saw him for a couple of deliveries on the nets and the boy looked good.

Kohli also accused his team of failing to switch to ODI mode, despite having had enough time and practice during the two-week quarantine period. The team’s field was bad. They dropped a couple of catches in the outfield and took runs in the final part of Australia’s innings, showing that they haven’t gotten out of the T20 mold yet.

Kohli admitted that the players’ body language wasn’t good after 25 overs.

The second ODI will also be important for Kohli as he wants to improve his poor ODI average at SCG. While he did well in the tests and T20 international matches on site, his ODI average at SCG was below average at just 11. 4, over 50 in six innings. The 21 he made on Saturday is his highest ODI score on SCG. Australia, on the other hand, looked good as it scored heavily in the top order.
