Australia captain Steve Smith after the loss in the 2nd ODI match against India
After losing the second ODI match against India by 99 runs, the captain of the Australian cricket team, States, has lost five matches in a row before the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. His team needs to work on a few things. The Indian cricket team played well with both bat and ball and clinched the three-match series with a lead of 2-0 as they won the second match by the DLS method at the Holkar Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
In a post-match presentation, Smith said, “When we came here, it looked like a good wicket changed a little bit. Credit goes to Team India; they batted beautifully; 400 was always a big challenge on that. I have seen games here before, and they look good for chasing. We were a fair way off. We have lost quite a few in a row now. The World Cup is about peaking at the right time. We certainly have not done that at this stage. There are a few things to sort out. We know we are a good side; both teams are working toward the World Cup but still want to win games.”
