"Novice batsmen Cooper Connolly, Matt Short and Mitch Owen have produced career-best ODI knocks to steer Australia to a tense two-wicket win against India. Australia claimed a series victory after the win at Adelaide Oval on Thursday gave them a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Australia bring back bad memories for England at Women's World Cup India posted 9-264, with Rohit Sharma (73 from 97 balls) top-scoring and Australia's Adam Zampa (4-60 from 10 overs) and Xavier Bartlett (3-39 from 10) the chief wicket-takers."
"The inexperienced duo of Connolly and Owen featured in a match-defining 59-run partnership that led Australia from danger. Coming together at 5-187 in the 36th over, Connolly who had made just 10 ODI runs before his Adelaide outing struck five fours and one six, while Owen cracked three sixes and two fours. Connolly reached his half-century from 42 balls after Australia lost openers Mitch Marsh (11 from 24 balls) and Travis Head (28 from 40) inside 13 overs."
