Team India had won the first match of this series, whereas now the second match of the series will be played today at Holkar Stadium in Indore. Team India would like to win this match and the Australian team will be looking for a comeback. Both the teams are considered to be among the strong contenders for the ODI World Cup. Let's take a look at the pitch at Holkar Stadium before the start of this match.Holkar Stadium, Indore Pitch ReportIf we take a look at the pitch of Holkar Stadium in Indore before the India vs Australia match, the batsmen get a lot of help here. The boundary of this stadium of Indore is very small, due to which batsmen are seen hitting fours and sixes very easily. Batsmen have made many big records on this ground. On one hand, Virender Sehwag had scored his double century on this ground, while Rohit Sharma had scored a century on 35 balls here. The last time Team India played on this ground, Gill and Rohit Sharma scored centuries, helping India score 385 runs. In such a situation, there is hope of scoring a lot of runs in this match also.The role of weather is also very importantIf we look at the report of Accuweather before the match between India and Australia, then there may be 40 percent to 50 percent chance of rain in Indore from 1 pm to 6 pm. This match is to start with the toss at 1 pm. Whereas the first ball will be bowled at 1.30 pm. It remains to be seen whether the match will start on time or will be delayed due to rain. There may be up to 51 percent rainfall at 6 pm but after that the probability of rain is less than 20 percent. In such a situation, rain is expected to disrupt this match.Squad of India and Australia for ODI seriesIndia: KL Rahul (captain, wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja (vice-captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.Australia: Pat Cummins (captain), Sean Abbott, Alex Carey, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Josh English, Spencer Johnson, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Tanvir Sangha, Matthew Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner and Adam Zampa.
