IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Predictions & Betting Tips

India and Australia will take on each other in the 2nd of the three match long ODI series of the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The game will be hosted at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on March 19. I have assorted three of the best money making betting tips for you from the IND vs AUS match prediction.

After a 5 wicket win over Australia at Mumbai, the Men in Blue now look to seal the series at Visakhapatnam itself. KL Rahul, who was doubted by many, once again proved his worth as an ace No.5 batter in this format. He scored an unbeaten 75 runs off 91 deliveries and guided Team India to a comfortable win. Unexpectedly, the pitch turned out to be a swinging one and batting wasn't easy for both sides. The Aussies will be a tad disappointed in the end but it was their batting that led them down. Mitchell Starc was a man on a mission as he swung the ball in the air and removed three top-order batters real quick. But that wasn't enough to seal the victory. With plenty of options available, we can make the best out of it by placing correct bets.

IND vs AUS Team Bets:

Let us have a look at our top two team betting tips from the IND vs AUS match prediction.

India to score over 30.5 runs before 1st dismissal

India has been leaping great lengths in the ODIs and their position in the ICC Men’s ODI Team Rankings is the biggest proof of it. The side recently whitewashed Sri Lanka and New Zealand in back-to-back series and now defeated record World champions Australia at home. The Indian squad has struggled to post big totals on the board before their first loss in recent times. However, that has not been the case ever since the youngster Shubman Gill started opening the innings alongside skipper Rohit Sharma. In the last two ODI series at home, they stitched opening partnerships of 143, 33, 95, 60, 72 & 212 runs. In each of these six games, the Men in Blue managed to amass our target of 30.5 runs before 1st dismissal. Sharma and Gill are averaging close to 97.83 & 54.66 respectively in the ODIs this year. At the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam which is the venue for the forthcoming contest, Rohit Sharma averages close to 68.40. Shubman Gill, on the other hand, has never played at this venue. Sharma missed the first game of the series against Australia due to personal reasons and hence the side only managed to muster 5 runs before their first loss. But the Indian skipper will be back in action for the 2nd game. Team India have scored 42.20 runs on an average before their first loss in their last five meetings against Australia in the format. The fact that the series will be hosted by India should help this betting tip as the batters are comfortable batting at home conditions. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.832 for IND to score over 30.5 runs before 1st dismissal and it is a safe betting tip to go for.

Total match fours to be under 52.5

Team India have taken a 1-0 lead in the ODI series as they clinched a 5 wicket victory over the Aussies at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Wankhede Stadium is usually known for high-scoring fixtures but that wasn't the case in the 1st ODI. The total number of fours scored in that game happens to be just 39, which falls way below our target. The venue for the next game shifts to Visakhapatnam. A total of 9 ODIs have been played here and the average 1st innings score stands at 295, which clearly depicts that this is a high scoring venue. In the last five ODIs, the total number of match fours scored read 58, 25, 48, 55 & 59. This totals to 245 boundaries scored across five matches, averaging 49.00 per game which falls under our target. In the past five meetings between the two sides, the number of match fours scored read 52, 57, 64, 45 & 39. Once again the average number of fours falls under our target and in three out of these five games, under 52.5 fours have been scored. If we take a look at Team India’s recent numbers, the side averages 26.40 fours per game. Speaking of 6 time World Champions Australia, they average close to 23.80 fours per game. Upon combining, the number stands at just 50.20 fours per match, which falls under our target of 52.50, thus making it a safe and a reliable betting tip for this game. KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya were the ones to hit the most number of fours for Team India in the first game. They scored 7 & 5 fours respectively. Mitchell Marsh was the one to hit the maximum number of fours for Australia(10). Therefore, we suggest you to not miss out on this glorious betting opportunity. 1XBET has offered odds of 1.87 for the total match fours to be under 52.5 and you should definitely take it for a hefty payday.

IND vs AUS Player Bet:

We have chosen Travis Head as our top player betting tip from the IND vs AUS match prediction. Have a glance!

Travis Head to score over 27.5 runs

This aggressive 29-year-old South Australian batsman was earmarked for big things right from a very young age. Travis made his ODI debut against West Indies back in 2016. Since then, the southpaw has accumulated 1828 runs in his 49 innings ODI career at an phenomenal average of about 36.73, which falls above our target of 27.5 runs. Head has 3 centuries and 13 half-ones to his name. Australia last played an ODI series back in November last year against England at home. Head emerged as the top run-getter from his side, scoring 240 runs in three games at an average of about 80.00. Head is arriving here after playing three Tests against India in this tour. The 29-year-old scored 235 runs in six innings at an average of about 47.00. Although he was dismissed for just 5 runs in the 1st ODI, we expect him to score above 27 runs in this game. 2022 turned out to be a fantastic year for the Adelaide born cricketer. From averaging 28.25 in 2018, Head’s average jumped to 68.75 last year. He scored 550 runs in just 9 innings. In his ODI career, Head has played mostly away from home. He averages close to 35.41 away from here and has scored 1027 runs in about 31 innings. Head averages a mere 20.66 against India in ODIs but we feel that is going to change in the ongoing series. His last five scores in ODIs read 27, 69, 19, 152 & 5 runs. Therefore, we expect Travis Head to score over 27 runs in this game. To capitalise on this, head over to 1XBET and grab the odds of 1.832 in T Head’s favour from the IND vs AUS match prediction.
