Australia emerged victorious in the one-day international series against India, securing the win with a comprehensive all-round performance. India's captain, Shubman Gill, conceded that crucial dropped catches and an 'adequate total' cost his side dearly.

India's fielding lapses were evident in the second ODI, which they lost by two wickets, following a seven-wicket defeat in the opening match at Perth. Despite a formidable effort by Rohit Sharma, who scored 73, India could not defend their total due to missed opportunities, including letting catch Matthew Short who scored 74.

Australia, under captain Mitchell Marsh, executed their strategy flawlessly. Adam Zampa was named Player of the Match for his four-wicket contribution, influencing the game significantly. The series win underlined Australia's emerging strength, with both young talents and experienced bowlers playing pivotal roles in their success.
