India, 22 November 2025 — India triumphed over Australia in the second ODI of their series, securing a six-wicket victory at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday. Chasing a target of 276 runs set by Australia, India reached the total with 10 balls to spare.
Outstanding performances by Indian batsmen, including a century by Shubman Gill and a solid half-century from Virat Kohli, were key to the successful chase. Australia, batting first, posted a competitive total thanks to a resilient innings by Steve Smith, who scored 87 runs.
The win gives India a 2-0 lead in the three-match series, following their victory in the first ODI. This series is crucial for both teams as they prepare for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup, providing an opportunity to assess their squads and strategies.
India's bowling attack, led by Mohammed Shami, was instrumental in restricting Australia to a manageable score. Shami's early breakthroughs put pressure on the Australian top order, enabling India to maintain control throughout the innings.
The final match of the series is scheduled to take place in Chennai on Friday, where India will aim for a clean sweep, while Australia seeks to regain momentum and salvage a win.
