You'd say the Aussies are favourites but there is potential for a close game!

Match Over

 

[PL2 3DQ]

I've been following cricket for years but I found out today for the first time that two balls are used per innings in ODI games, one ball at each end.

It stems from a few years ago that balls deteriorated after 35 overs due to being whacked to the boundary so the game went to two balls per innings, 25 overs at each end.
