A brilliant maiden ODI century for Peter Handscomb saw the Australians trudge their way to 249. Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar made light work of Australia's top and middle order, with only Handscomb making it past 20. He would finally find an ally in Matthew Wade who has returned to the ODI team after being dropped for the South African ODI's in preference for Alex Carey. However he took his chance helping Australia rebuild from 5/95 to 6/226 when Wade was finally dismissed for 58. A tricky pitch, made look easy by Handscomb, but India certainly favourites going into the 2nd innings.

It should go without saying, India are always favourites when this man is involved in a run chase. Hazlewood and Starc's return to international cricket meant nothing to this man, as he plundered the Aussies all around Sydney to easily chase down the target. 126 off 130 for King Kohli proving again he is the best in the world in a run chase. Australia's star bowlers were able to claim wickets on their return, but it simply wasn't enough as Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni provided more than enough support to Kohli to see this chase home comfortably. India claim the first match of the ODI series as we head to Adelaide.

Aaron Finch has returned for Australia, after missing the first ODI with illness. Australia are hoping the return of their captain will be enough to win this must win match in Adelaide to keep the series alive. India also made just the one change, with Mohammed Siraj making his ODI debut at the expense of Khaleel Ahmed.

Peter Handscomb's golden summer continues into the ODI scene, with his 2nd ODI century following just 1 match after his first. However this time it wasn't a lone hand, despite another top order collapse from Australia. Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell would also chip in with quickfire half centuries to push Australia to a big score of 342/7. Mohammed Shami would be the pick of the bowlers with his 3/48, while it was a nightmare debut for Mohammed Siraj, who despite getting his first ODI wicket, went for a mammoth 97 runs in his 10 overs.

India made Australia sweat, but the run chase was simply too big, as Jason Behrendorff lead the Australia attack to a series levelling performance. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan got the Indians off to a flier, and it looked like India were in the box seat to pull off another run chase. But India would lose wickets at regular intervals, making it difficult for them to up the run rate to where it needed to be. With Kohli and Dhoni back in the sheds and 120 runs needed, Australia were able to put the clamps on as Rayudu and Jadeja simply couldn't score fast enough against the disciplined Australian attack. The series is levelled at 1-1 as we head for the finale of the Indian tour in Melbourne.
