Overview

• Harmanpreet Kaur confirmed Rodrigues’ withdrawal at the toss for the second ODI in Mullanpur, with the BCCI saying its medical team is monitoring her progress.
• Reserve batter Tejal Hasabnis was added to the squad as replacement; she has six ODIs with 140 runs at an average of 46.66.
• India changed two players for the second ODI, bringing in Renuka Singh and Arundhati Reddy for Rodrigues and Sree Charani as Australia chose to bowl first.
• India trails 0-1 after posting 281 in the opener, a result that the captain described as well below the standard required against Australia.
• The board has not indicated whether Rodrigues will recover in time for India’s World Cup opener later this month, increasing pressure on the middle order to step up.
