Match Preview
Australia had the last laugh in the second game after the series opener was washed out, winning by 4 wickets to take a 1-0 lead. Australia won the toss and asked India to bat first, and on the bouncy surface at Melbourne, Josh Hazlewood made sure to justify his skipper’s decision. Along with Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis, he triggered a top-order collapse that India never recovered from, eventually folding for just 125 runs in 18.4 overs. The only bright spot for India was Abhishek Sharma, who looked a class apart, scoring 68 off 37 balls before departing in the 19th over. Harshit Rana, promoted ahead of Shivam Dube, showed intent with a composed 35 off 33 balls, but apart from these two, none of the other batters managed to reach double digits.
In response, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh went on the attack early and gave India no real chance, with Josh Inglis also contributing as Australia comfortably chased down the target in just 13.2 overs.
With India looking to bounce back, they might consider a few changes, possibly bringing back key pacer Arshdeep Singh. Meanwhile, with Josh Hazlewood rested in view of Ashes preparations, Sean Abbott is likely to take his place for the hosts.
Australia remain unbeaten at the Bellerive Oval after five T20Is and will look to extend that streak, while India will need to put in a complete effort if they are to level the series.
