Match Preview
India got off to a promising start in the first T20 after being asked to bat first before rain had the final say. Abhishek Sharma departed early after setting the tone with a quick 19 runs, while skipper Suryakumar Yadav looked in fine touch and made full use of the platform as India reached 97/1 in just 9.4 overs before rain pick up and the game had to be called off.
As the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground gets ready to host the second game of the series, both teams will be eager to take the early lead with a win here.
India will look to continue from where they left off in the previous game, with records also in their favor. They have played six matches at this venue, winning four, losing one, and one ending without a result.
Australia, on the other hand, has a tougher challenge ahead as their record at this venue has been below par, winning only five of their last ten games here. Both sides are expected to stick with the same playing XI, with Australia likely to bring changes later in the series keeping their upcoming Ashes in mind.
