Pandey’s catch stunned bowler Mohammed Shami, who had pitched the ball wide, as well. Warner tried to loft it but Pandey produced an absolute stunner at cover point.
The Aussie, who was equally surprised by the catch, walked back after scoring 15 off 12 balls. The wicket laid down the foundation for India’s win as Warner’s departure meant Australia failed to get off to a flying start.
India’s batting line-up, which had faltered in the first ODI, came back much stronger in the second one. Shikhar Dhawan scored 96, KL Rahul 80, and captain Virat Kohli 78, as India reached 340 in their 50 overs.
In reply, Steve Smith’s 98 and Marnus Labuschagne’s 46 were not enough to take the visiting team home as all other batsmen failed. Shami picked up three wickets while Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Navdeep Saini each picked up two.
The final ODI of the three-match series will be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Sunday.
