India showed off their excellent skill with the bat in the opening ODI to take a 1-0 lead. Let's find out what's in store for the second meeting.
Australia were given a timely reminder in the series opener that India's batting quality in ODI cricket stretches beyond their superb top three.
The tourists failed to build on a number of starts and yet again appeared to be missing the kind of impetus that the best sides in the format have.

India
The hosts handled a tricky chase well, despite both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli uncharacteristically giving away their wickets after good starts in Hyderabad. India will be particularly pleased with the way Kedar Jadhav and Mahendra Singh Dhoni took charge of a game that hung in the balance after the hosts slipped from 80 for one to 99 for four.
Vijay Shankar has earned a prolonged run in the limited-overs squads but despite taking a blinder of a catch to get rid of Usman Khawaja in the opening ODI, questions remain about what he brings to the team.
Shankar's run is likely to be terminated as soon as Hardik Pandya returns to full fitness, but the selectors are facing serious heat for selecting a number seven whose bowling appears to be a liability at international level.
Fortunately for India, the remaining five bowlers more than picked up the slack Shankar's dibbly-dobblers generated and showed why the hosts' bowling attack is considered among the best in the world across all three formats.
Australia
The T20I series triumph may have ignited hopes of an ODI revival, but on the evidence of the first ODI, Australia may have to wait for the return of naughty boys David Warner and Steve Smith before they mount a realistic challenge in the format.
Stand-in ODI captain Aaron Finch's multi-format batting slump hasn't helped a team that have struggled for continuity and form in the last two years.
Australia did not get off to an ideal start in Hyderabad, losing Finch early, before seeing Usman Khawaja and Marcus Stoinis grind away 19 overs to add 87 runs.
A big positive for Australia is their lower order's striking power and ability to accelerate the innings, but the battle of the top order was decisively won by India.
Nathan Coulter-Nile was comfortably Australia's best player, bowling brilliantly and contributing with the bat - and should remain in their plans even when all the big guns are fit and available again.
The last time these sides met in Nagpur, India cantered to a seven-wicket victory over an Australia team that contained Warner and Smith.
Verdict: India (47/100)
The way Australia are playing ODI cricket at the moment isn't going to deliver a lot of positive results.
