08:41 Stoinis still in doubt
Welcome to the commentary for the 2nd ODI between Australia and India at Sydney Cricket Ground.
Australia have a 1-0 lead in the series after a comprehensive 66-run win in the tour opener on Friday.
Australia's batsmen put on a super show with the bat as India struggled without a genuine all-rounder. They scored a massive 374 for 6 but India didn't go down without a fight as Hardik Pandya made a 90 and Dhawan scored a 74 before they crumbled.
India may just bring in Kuldeep Yadav to add another option in the bowling after Chahal got battered in the first match.
Stoinis is still doubtful for Australia, so the team compositions will be interesting for today's match.
It will also be interesting to see how the teams go today as the weather is a scorching 40 degrees centigrade and it will only be obvious that the team that wins the toss would opt to bat first.
