Australia riding high on success after handing over a trashing to England in the first ODI, face India in the second match of the Carlton Mid ODI series.
Fatigue: One word that'll describe both teams. But it's Australia who are affected the most. Except Warner every Australian batsman is rusty. Even Steven Smith not in great touch should worry them.
Austrlia are favorites with the bookmakers now. David Warner is having a small niggle in his hamstring. If Australian team management wants to rest him it gives Indians an advantage.
Everybody's discussing the previous bilateral ODI series between these two teams. But that series happened in India. After the first 3 matches, Australia were leading 2-1 then India won the remaining 2 matches to take the series. The comeback happened because of the crowd pressure. Now Indians will be at the receiving end.
Indian batting order looks solid. Except Axar Patel bowling unit is weak. Australia have the reverse of it. Batting looks weaker now and bowling although can't be termed great, still better than India's.
The venue is Melbourne. Australia have a 8-2 win-loss record in last 10 matches. That's a stat no one should miss reading.
Having a look at what bookmakers are offering on this match.

Tip
Even though Australians are short on price and batting form, I think they'll win this match as the venue is Melbourne. But I don't think Australia will win very easily. Tough and high scoring match on cards.
Pick India @ 2.75 - 10$ with Bet365 or BetFair and cover on Australia above 2.00 - 17$. Always be biased towards an Australia win.
