India vs Australia Live Score, Women\u2019s 2nd ODI (India Women\u2019s National Cricket Team vs Australia Women\u2019s National Cricket Team): <\/strong>India\u2019s significant defeat against Australia in the opening women\u2019s ODI may have dampened spirits ahead of the World Cup, but the team aims to level the series against Alyssa Healy\u2019s side with improved bowling and fielding in the second match on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur\u2019s team performed well with the bat, posting a challenging total thanks to half-centuries from key players Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, and Hareen Deol. However, poor fielding troubled them again in the first game of the three-match series. Four dropped catches allowed Australia, who are expected to be India\u2019s toughest opponents apart from England in the women\u2019s World Cup later this month, to chase down 281 runs quickly.<\/p>\n Australia appear to be preparing in a way that could make them unstoppable in their quest for a record-extending eighth ODI World Cup title, a fact the Indian team management is surely aware of. Despite home conditions and pitches favoring them, the Indians struggled, largely due to their fielding, middle and lower-order batting, and spinners, who are crucial to India\u2019s search for the elusive trophy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
