Australia wins the toss and chooses to bowl against England in 2nd ODI

ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — Australia captain Mitch Marsh decided to bowl England first at Adelaide Oval in the second one-day international match on Sunday. The toss had been won by Australia, who led the series 1-0 after a dominant seven-wicket win in the opening game in Perth on Friday. Marsh expressed his preference for chasing, stating their confidence in the Adelaide Oval wicket.

Though bowler Mahli Beardman, who set the record for the best figures by an Australian bowler in his ODI debut with six wickets, was rested for this match, seamer Riley Meredith replaced him. England also made a substitution, replacing Jamie Overton with seamer Sonny Baker. Captain Harry Brook and allrounder Sam Curran were both aiming for their 50th ODI appearance.

For Australia, the lineup included Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Josh Inglis, Matt Renshaw, Cameron Green, Jack Edwards, Xavier Bartlett, Adam Zampa, and Spencer Johnson, with Riley Meredith taking the place of Mahli Beardman. England's squad featured Ben Duckett, Tom Banton, Joe Root, captain Harry Brook, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Liam Dawson, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, and Jofra Archer.
