Australian opener Phoebe Litchfield could be the best batter in the second ODI against the Indian women. The 22-year-old in the first ODI played a sensational knock of 88 runs, which guided her team to a win. In her 80 deliveries, she smashed the opposition bowlers to all parts of the ground and laced her innings with 14 boundaries. In the upcoming game, Litchfield will look to play similarly and guide the Aussies to yet another win.

Probable Best Bowler: Sneh Rana

India's Sneh Rana could be the best bowler in the next game against the visiting Australian team. The right-arm spinner in the last game picked one wicket and leaked 51 runs. However, Harmanpreet Kaur will trust the spinner to exploit the conditions better in the second clash of the series.
