Sports News: The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and Australia will be played on Wednesday, October 23, 2025, at Adelaide Oval. The first match in Perth was affected by rain, where India faced a 7-wicket loss. Now, fans are expecting big innings from stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, as their comeback in the last match was subdued. This match is a do-or-die situation for India. If Team India wants to stay in the series, winning this match is crucial.
Why is this match important?
In the first match, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's bats remained silent. Rohit Sharma was dismissed after scoring just 8 runs, while Kohli returned to the pavilion without opening his account. Therefore, fans' eyes are set on these two veteran players for this match. Kohli has an excellent record at Adelaide Oval, and this is an opportunity for Rohit Sharma to improve his form.
Team India will be putting all its might into this match to stay alive in the series. The team, led by Shubman Gill, will hope for an outstanding batting performance and effective pressure from the bowlers.

Adelaide Pitch Report and Weather Forecast
The good news for India is that there is a low probability of rain in Adelaide. There might be light rain on Thursday, the match day, but the chances of it disrupting the match are only 20 percent. Last time in Perth, the match was repeatedly interrupted due to continuous rain, but the likelihood of that happening in Adelaide is very low. This means fans will be able to watch the full 50-over contest. The low chance of rain will give Team India an opportunity to focus on their plans.
The pitch at Adelaide Oval is considered very helpful for batsmen. It is a flat pitch with a slight bounce. This means batsmen can easily score runs here. The pitch also assists spinners. India has good options in spin bowling, which the team can use to build pressure.
In the initial overs, this pitch can also be challenging for fast bowlers, especially if the weather is slightly overcast. The strategy of both teams will be crucial on this pitch. If India leverages the experience of its seasoned batsmen, there is a possibility of a big score.
