India’s rejigged batting order fired on Friday as the hosts beat Australia by 36 runs in the second one-day international (ODI) at Rajkot to level the three-match series. Steve Smith kept Australia on course with a typically busy 98 before dragging the ball onto his stumps and the tourists were all out for 304 in the final over. The Indian top order had powered the hosts to 340-6 with opener Shikhar Dhawan (96) laying the foundation and KL Rahul providing the late assault with a whirlwind 80 at number five. David Warner and Aaron Finch smashed unbeaten centuries to flatten India in the series opener in Mumbai but the hosts ensured there was no encore. Manish Pandey plucked a one-handed stunner at cover-point to dismiss David Warner (15) and Ravindra Jadeja had Finch stumped for 33. Smith revived Australia’s chase with https://cricketdoman.blogspot.com/2020/01/indias-rejigged-batting-order-fired-on.html  his 96-run stand with Marnus Labuschagne.
