Seven dropped chances and a couple of indecisions with the Decision Review System (DRS) did not go well with India on Saturday. Australia cashed in on these lapses to post a series-clinching three-run victory in the second ODI, extending their dominance over India to nine bilateral series triumphs out of nine.

India’s head coach Amol Muzumdar had spoken about a DRS committee being formed within the team. It turned out to be the game-changer at the Wankhede Stadium as the ‘committee’ went for a DRS they should not have, and did not go for one they should have. This uncertainty and the dropped catches overshadowed Deepti Sharma’s second five-wicket haul in ODIs (5-38).
