India vs Australia 2nd T20I Match: India will be up against Australia in the second T20I match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday, October 31. Both teams will be looking to come up with their best effort to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
The first match of the series was abandoned at the Manuka Oval due to persistent rain in Canberra. India scored 97/1 in 9.4 overs in the series opener before the game was called off. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who has been out of form with the bat for a while, looked in great touch and played a fiery knock of 39 runs in just 24 balls on the back of three boundaries and two sixes. On the other hand, vice-captain Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 37 balls.
India came up with a surprising playing XI in the first game as Arshdeep Singh wasn't included, whereas Harshit Rana made the cut. The Men in Blue are expected to go with the same lineup at the MCG as well.
