India vs Australia, 2nd T20I: Probable XI, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
India and Australia will lock horns in the second game of their five-match T20I series on Sunday, November 26. The Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram will host the clash.
Suryakumar Yadav’s India got off to a splendid start to the series after winning the opening match in Visakhapatnam by two wickets on Thursday. The Men in Blue recorded their highest successful run-chase after tracking down 209 with one ball to spare.
Suryakumar, who became India’s 13th captain in T20Is, scored 80 runs off 42 balls. Ishan Kishan also lent him support with a knock of 58 runs. Rinku Singh held his nerve in the death overs to take the hosts past the finish line in the humdinger.
Earlier, Josh Inglis starred for the visitors by smashing the joint-fastest half-century by an Australian batter in T20Is off 47 balls. Steve Smith also scored a well-made half-century. The duo put on 130 runs for the second wicket to put the Aussies in a commanding position, but their efforts went in vain.
