India vs Australia: DLS revised target for Australia after rain delay

In the second match of the ongoing ODI series, India and Australia are crossing swords in the second game, being played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Australian captain Steven Smith called it correctly at the toss and decided to chase. However, the decision seemed to have backfired, as the Indian batters put up an emphatic show with the bat to put up 399/5 on the board at the end of their 50 overs quota.

For India, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer notched up brilliant centuries, respectively, while KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav played important knocks to ensure a high-end finish to the innings. For Australia, Cameron Green picked up a couple of wickets but also went for 103 runs in his 10 overs.

The first innings had an interruption of about 39 minutes after it started drizzling in the ninth over. Similarly, during the second innings, rain started pouring heavily during the ninth over. With a brief pause due to rain, the statement from the officials stated that they started losing overs at 19.27 PM IST. Thus, it is certain that the Australian side will be given a DLS revised target.

Australia need 317 runs in 33 Overs to win the second ODI

As per the DLS method, earlier the target for Australia in 20 overs was close to 230 runs. Currently, Steve Smith's men have already lost two wickets for the score of 56, as the duo of David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne are trying to steady the ship. Now when the play resumes, Australia will have to unleash their beast mode, as they will have to chase at a relatively higher required run rate now. As of now, as per the latest update, Australia now need 317 runs to win in 33 overs when they come out to bat. Hence, it will be interesting to see how Australia approach ahead in the ongoing game of the ODI series.
