Captain Mitchell Marsh scored 60 runs in 59 balls with the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes, followed by Alex Carey scoring 74 runs in 67 balls with the help of 8 fours and 3 sixes, taking Australia to 270 runs, but lost all wickets in 44.4 overs. Braden Carse lost 3 wickets but Sema Sathu Wangi scored 75 runs. Potts, Rashid and Bethell took 2-2 wickets each.
Without Alex Carey's innings, there was a possibility that Australia would have lost, that's why they recognized the importance of Alex Carey's innings and gave him the Man of the Match award. The third ODI will be played as a day-night match in Durham on 24 September.
