Team Australia have successfully dominated the first innings as the dressing room appreciates Starc and Abbott\u2019s special performance.<\/p>\n
After opting to toss first, Australian captain opted to bowl first which seems to have been a good choice.<\/p>\n
Starc opened the bag of wickets after Shubman Gill was departed in a similar mode of the 1st ODI.<\/p>\n
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma returned for the remaining games after opting out of the 1st ODI. While Rohit and Kohli looked at a fine performance, Starc cleaned up back to back wickets after captain Sharma along with Suryakumar Yadav were departed.<\/p>\n
The consecutive wickets from one end put the pressure on Virat Kohli but Nathan Ellis turned out in surprise to bowl out the veteran.<\/p>\n
Abbott was the key factor for the stadium to go from cheering to silence as Hardik Pandya\u2019s wicket brought India\u2019s innings to 49 for 5.<\/p>\n
Starc once again returned for another spell and successfully clinched his 4th wicket after the Mumbai (1st ODI) performer KL Rahul was departed cheaply.<\/p>\n
Jadeja and Axar Patel hoped to take the innings further as a lost hope for the hosts, but Ellis once again broke the partnership to bring India to 91-7.<\/p>\n
Starc and Abbott completed the rest of formalities with Axar Patel standing \u201cnot-out\u201d.<\/p>\n
