Second Victory for Team India in World Cup: After a comfortable victory against South Africa, Team India fought with Australia in their second league match yesterday in The Oval, London. Team India won the toss and elected to bat first. With stupendous batting performance, Team India made 352/9 in their 50 overs. Shikar Dhawan has been unstoppable and he made 117 (109 balls). Virat Kohli turned out to be a huge support and he contributed 82 runs from 77 balls. Rohit Sharma's 57 and MS Dhoni's 27 have been well supportive. Marcus Stoinis (2/62), Pat Cummins (1/55) and Nathan Coulter-Mile (1/63) managed to take wickets.
Chasing a huge target of 353, Australia struggled hard to live up the expectations. Though they opened well, the middle order failed to stand strong in the chase. Steve Smith (69), David Warner (56) and Alex Carey (55 not out) have been decent with the bat. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/35), Jasprit Bumrah (3/61) and Yuzvendra Chahal (2/62) performed well and restricted Australia well. Shikar Dhawan has been named as the man of the match.
