IND vs AUS 2025 – 2nd ODI | Match Preview

The 2nd ODI of the India tour of Australia 2025 will be played at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, on Thursday, 23rd October 2025. The match begins at 02:00 PM Local Time. After an exciting first game, both teams will look to take the lead in the series.

Led by Mitchell Marsh, Australia enters the 2nd ODI with strong momentum and home advantage. The batting unit, featuring Travis Head, Matt Renshaw, and Josh Inglis, provides both aggression and depth. The team’s middle order looks solid with Mitchell Owen and Matthew Short capable of playing quick cameos.

On the bowling front, the pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Ellis brings experience and control, while Adam Zampa and Matthew Kuhnemann add variety in spin. Wicketkeepers Alex Carey and Josh Philippe strengthen the batting options further.

Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, India will look to bounce back strongly. With batting stars like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, India’s top order remains a major threat. The middle order, anchored by KL Rahul and Nitish Kumar Reddy, adds stability and flexibility.

In the bowling department, India’s attack features a strong mix of pace and spin, led by Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, and Prasidh Krishna. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel will be key in controlling the middle overs, especially on Australian surfaces that offer bounce and turn.

The Adelaide Oval traditionally offers a good balance between bat and ball. Early movement for fast bowlers and even bounce for batsmen make it an exciting venue for ODIs. Spinners may come into play later in the innings, especially under lights.

Expert Prediction: According to early match analysis, Australia are slight favorites with a 59% chance to win, and India has a 41% chance to win.
