IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Report
Vizag: In what would come as a piece of bad news for fans, it is likely to rain at Vizag on Sunday during the second ODI between India-Australia. With the chance of rain being 30-50 per cent, interruptions are likely – but play will take place. Rain is expected at 5 PM and that could get the match truncated, which would not be ideal considering this is the year of the ODI World Cup and all teams would like to do their final tuning with months to go.
As per the MET department, the temperature in the city of Vizag will be around 26° celcius during the day and fall to 23° celcius at night. The chance of rain is 80% during the day and 49% at night.

Mumbai, March 18: Sophie Devine put up a brilliant display of power-hitting as she missed scoring the fastest century in women’s T20 cricket, hitting 99 off 36 balls as Royal Challengers Bangalore thrashed Gujarat Giants by eight wickets with 27 balls to spare in Match 16 in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2023 here on Saturday.
Devine produced one of the best innings in T20 cricket in the maiden edition of WPL as Royal Challengers Bangalore blazed to 189/2 in 15.3 overs, after restricting Gujarat Giants to 188/4 in 20 overs.
The win maintained RCB’s chances of making it to the playoffs as they moved to the fourth spot, ahead of the Giants who too have four points but have an inferior Net Run Rate. With UP Warriorz ending Mumbai Indians’ unbeaten run, RCB’s win sealed Delhi Capital’s place in the playoffs, joining MI in the knockout stage.
Devine, who blasted some of the biggest sixes at Brabourne stadium, and became the top scorer in WPL with 266 runs to take the Orange Cap, muscled her way to her half-century off just 20 balls, hitting six boundaries and four maximums as she gave RCB a big start along with skipper Smriti Mandhana (37 off 31), who seems to get going for the first time in the tournament.
But Devine overshadowed her and overpowered Gujarat Giants, who had put up a big total of 188/4 in their 20 overs thanks to a superb fifty by Laura Wolvaardt (68 of 42) who shared two half-century partnerships with S Meghana (31 off 32) and Ashleigh Gardner (41 off 26).
However, in the end, the chase of 189 proved too little considering the way Devine went about dismantling the Gujarat Giants’ bowling.
Devine and Mandhana, who raised 125 runs for the first wicket, struck 13 runs off the did not indicate that was a good start, it gave no indication of what was to come in the next over. Devine struck her first boundary, a six off Gardner, blasting a slog sweep off one knee and followed it up with a four off the next two balls before bringing out the slog sweep again for another six. A four off the final ball of the second over meant, 24 runs came off that Gardner over, leaving the Gujarat Giants team shell-shocked.
Devine repeated the act in the ninth over, blasting 25 runs off Tanuja Kanwar as she raced to her half-century. She survived a couple of chances and got the benefit of the DRS too as she functioned in top gear. She was unlucky to miss her century but left RCB well on course to victory.
Ellyse Perry (19 not out) and Heather Knight (22 not out) propelled Royal Challengers Bangalore to an eight-wicket win and kept them in the race for a place in the playoffs.
Earlier, Gujarat Giants lost Sophia Dunkley (16) early with the score reading 27 when she shuffled away to attempt to hit a second successive boundary off Sophie Devine but completely missed the length ball to see her leg stump brought down. She struck 16 off 10 balls, hitting three fours.
Sabbhineni Meghana and Laura Wolvaardt then raised 63 runs for the second-wicket partnership for Gujarat, who made a modest 45/1 in the Power-play. Meghana struck four boundaries in her 32-ball 31 as Gujarat built themselves for a defendable total in this crucial match. Meghana started slowly but struck her first boundary off Preeti Bose in the 8th over, driving inside out through covers and then slogged Heather Knight flat along the ground through wide mid-wicket for another boundary in the 10th over, as they raced to 50 off 43 balls.
Meghana got a life when Devine spilt a sitter off Preeti Bose in the 11th over and Meghana rubbed salt into the wounds by hitting a four d ball later. However, Preeti Bose had the last laugh as she enticed her out with one that spun away and keeper Ghosh effected a simple stumping.
Wolvaardt, who had struck a four off the second ball she faced off Meghan Schutt, continued to reap the rewards for her patience as she struck Schutt for two more fours and meting out the same treatment to Devine. She raced to her half-century off 35 balls, reaching the milestone with a six over wide mid-wicket off Perry.
She survived a chance when bowler Asha reacted a bit slowly only to see it spill off her left fingertip and celebrated that by hitting Asha for a boundary off the next delivery. Her best was a six and a four off Schutt on successive deliveries in the 16th over as she and Ashleigh Gardner added 50 runs for the third wicket in 30 balls.
But just when it looked like they will take Gujarat Giants to a big score, Wolvaardt got out, caught by Preeti Bose off Shreyanka Patil, smashing a full toss straight to short midwicket.
Gardner too fell to Shreyanka Patil, who was brought in rather late but claimed two wickets for 17 runs off two overs — the 17th and 19th overs of the innings. Gardner struck a brilliant 26-ball 41, hitting six boundaries and a six.
Despite losing the two set batters, Dayalan Hemalatha (16 not out off 6) and Harleen Deol (12 off 5) blasted 22 runs off the final over, as Gujarat reached a big score.
Brief scores:
Gujarat Giants 188/4 in 20 overs (Laura Wolvaardt 68, Ashleigh Gardner 41, Sabbhineni Meghana 31; Shreyanka Patil2-17, Sophie Devine 1-23) lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore 189/2 in 15.3 overs (Sophie Devine 99, Smriti Mandhana 37; Sneh Rana 1-25) by 8 wickets.

In a game that ended 2-2 in regulation time, ATKMB’s Dimitri Petratos scored all three penalties he took on the night before Vishal Kaith’s save from Bruno Ramires’ penalty in the shootout brought them one step closer. Bengaluru FC’s Pablo Perez then sent his spot-kick over the bar as the Mariners sealed the result in a game where they had unsettled Bengaluru FC right from the start.
Bengaluru FC were forced into bringing Chhetri on early after Sivasakthi Narayanan was stretchered off in the opening seconds of the match. Things went further away from plan in the 13th minute when Krishna handled the ball from a Petratos corner as ATKMB were awarded a penalty. Petratos finished the job from the spot to put his team in front. ATKMB made use of this advantage to put pressure on Bengaluru FC, who picked up a glut of yellow cards on the pitch and one of them for head coach Simon Grayson.
But in the final minute of first-half stoppage time, they were given a way back earning a penalty when Subhasish Bose missed the ball and made contact with Roy Krishna while attempting a clearance. Chhetri stepped up to take it and sent Vishal Kaith the wrong way to restore parity.
In the final quarter of the game, Rohit Kumar’s shot from the edge of the box created a series of corners, before a deflection found Krishna at the far post – the striker nodded it home in the 78th minute.
But five minutes from time, the game was all square again. At the edge of the Bengaluru FC box, Kiyan Nassiri went down after a nudge from Pablo Perez as ATKMB won their second penalty of the evening. Petratos was on hand to score again.
In the third minute of stoppage time, Asish Rai’s goal-bound shot was cleared off the line by Prabir Das. Moments later, Colaco and Nassiri almost combined to score, but Bruno Ramires provided the crucial interception as the game went into extra time.
In extra time, Udanta Singh and Rohit failed to hit the target with their respective chances, while Manvir missed from a few yards out for ATKMB. Towards the end of extra time, Sandhu spilt Petratos’ long-range strike, but it bounced out for a corner that led to nothing before the game headed into penalties.
In the nervy penalty shoot-out, Golden Glove winner Kaith stepped up for his team for the second game in a row, while no one missed from the spot in a game dictated by penalties throughout. As the winners, ATKMB took home prize money of INR 6 crore, while runners-up Bengaluru FC were awarded INR 2.5 crore.

KL Rahul Or KS Bharat? Ravi Shastri Picks His Favourite For India’s WTC Final Against Australia
KL Rahul scored 75 not out and put together 108 runs with Ravindra Jadeja as India defeated Australia by five wickets in the first ODI at Wankhede Stadium.

New Delhi: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes KL Rahul should get the nod ahead of KS Bharat in India’s World Test Championship (WTC) line-up against Australia, that is scheduled to take place in England at The Oval from June 7 to 11.
Rahul scored a fine 75 under pressure to star in India’s five-wicket victory over Australia in the first ODI on Friday. Chasing a target of 189, India were 16/3 and subsequently 39/4 but Rahul held his nerves during a 91-ball knock that had seven fours and a six.
He added 108 for the unbroken sixth wicket stand alongside Ravindra Jadeja (45 not out). “He has really done well to keep the selectors interested ahead of the WTC final,” Shastri told while commentating during India vs AUstralia first ODI in Mumbai.
Bharat made his Test debut in place of injured Rishabh Pant in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy that concluded earlier this month. While he was good against the spinners behind the stumps, Bharat’s skills were also questions as he fumbled a few times during the series.
To add to that, Bharat didn’t do much with the bat in the entire series with 44 in the drawn fourth being his highest. Shastri believesm Rahul would bolster India’s batting in the WTC final. “Two things, one for the ODI series when Rohit Sharma returns and the other for the WTC final.
“India can bolster their batting if Rahul can keep wickets. Rahul can bat in the middle-order No. 5 or No. 6. In England, you have to generally keep wickets from far behind. You don’t have to keep up to the spinners a lot.
“He has 3 more ODIs to go before the IPL. He can cement his place in Indian team,” added the former India batter.
Meanwhile, chasing 189, India were 16/3 and subsequently 39/4 but Rahul held his nerves during a 91-ball knock that had seven fours and a six. He added 108 for the unbroken sixth wicket stand alongside Ravindra Jadeja (45 not out).
