India vs Australia 2nd T20I: After losing another toss across formats, Team India has been invited to bat first by Australia on Friday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side stated that he had no qualms about batting first on this ground. Team India is fielding the same XI as in the previous encounter.

Notably, Australian captain Mitchell announced one change to the XI: Matthew Short comes in for Josh Philippe.

An interesting stat that suggests Mitchell Marsh has now won 19 coin tosses and opted to field in every one of them.

Mitchell Marsh at the toss: "We are going to bowl first. Looks a good one, hopefully it won't change for 40 overs. We have one change - Short comes in for Philippe."

Suryakumar Yadav at the toss: "We are happy to bat first. That is the brand of cricket (aggressive) we want to play. Shubman knows how to score runs. With him you have to run hard between the wickets as well. We are playing the same team."

MCG Pitch Report: As per the official broadcaster, it is going to be cold and overcast for the entire match. The pitch will start well, but it might get slower as the game progresses.
