Early Thunder from Bartlett and Hazlewood
Inserted to bat, India’s top order was rattled within the first few overs. The pitch offered plenty of movement, and the Australian pacers made full use of it. Xavier Bartlett, brimming with confidence after his exploits in the first ODI, delivered a sensational over that changed the complexion of the innings—removing both Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli in quick succession.
Josh Hazlewood was relentless from the other end, beating the bat repeatedly but finding no luck. For India, the powerplay was a test of survival rather than run-making.

Just when the innings threatened to unravel, skipper Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer steadied the ship with a century partnership. Their blend of patience and precision helped India recover from the early jolts. With the spinners coming into play, batting suddenly looked easier—drives began to flow, and the crowd found its voice again.
However, as has so often been the case, Mitchell Marsh turned back to pace at the right time. Mitchell Starc struck gold immediately, removing Rohit just as the skipper looked set to launch. The wicket triggered another collapse.
Zampa Spins a Web
Adam Zampa, brought in to capitalise on the pressure, turned tormentor. The wrist-spinner dismantled the middle order, claiming four crucial wickets—including those of Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, and Nitin Kumar Reddy in a single over. From a position of strength, India slumped to 226 for eight, the innings teetering on the edge of collapse.
Lower-Order Grit Saves the Day
Yet, India’s tale was far from over. Young Harshit Rana, in just his second ODI, showcased remarkable composure under pressure. Alongside Arshdeep Singh, he added 37 precious runs for the ninth wicket—runs that could well tilt the balance. Every boundary drew roars of relief from the Indian dressing room.
What Lies Ahead
As the innings closed at 264/9, the question lingered in the evening air—would the surface ease out under lights, or would India’s pacers find the same devilish movement that had aided the Australians?
The stage is set. The bowlers have a total to fight for, and the battle under the floodlights promises to be every bit as gripping as the drama that unfolded in the afternoon.
India’s bowlers, including Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel, didn’t have much to work with in Perth, defending just 136 runs. However, they will need to step up in Adelaide, where Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will once again pose a significant challenge with the new ball, relentlessly testing the batsmen in the tricky corridor of uncertainty.
