India National Cricket Team vs Australia National Cricket Team Match Full Scorecard: won the toss and opted to bowl first against India in their second ODI of the three-match series at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Thursday.
Shubman Gill-led India are looking to bounce back from a 1-0 deficit after losing the series opener by 7 wickets via the DLS method.
Australia have brought in Xavier Bartlett, who is well-known for his ability to provide variety through the middle overs, in place of Nathan Ellis.
India remain unchanged from the last game, thus, the team will head into the match without spinner Kuldeep Yadav.
Speaking at the time of toss, Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said, "We are gonna bowl first. It was really pleasing (win in the 1st ODI). A lot of positives from last year. One of the better pitchers in the country this year. Everyone loves coming to play here. We always get amazing crowds, and hopefully both teams put on a great show for the big crowd today. Any time you get a chance to win a series in game two, it's an awesome opportunity. We've got a lot of young guys, so I look forward to it. Alex Carey comes in for Philippe. Xavier Bartlett comes in for Ellis."

India skipper Shubman Gill said, "We would have bowled first as well. Happy to bat first. Never easy when it rains, starting and stopping. The weather looks good today, hopefully no stoppages today. Batting first, hopefully we'll get plenty of runs on the board. And then get some movement under lights when we have the ball in our hand. We are going with the same team."
