Preview

In the second match of the T20 series played at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday, India (IND) will be facing the host Australia (AUS). The first match was washed out due to rain. India were on top of the game with SKY and Shubman Gill taking the attack to the bowlers. As they arrive at MCG for their second game, the men in blue will be confident. The bowlers of Australia were all expensive as India scored 10 an over until rain halted play. The bowling attack cannot overcome this Indian side because of the absence of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, even with Josh Hazlewood in the mix. Australia and India have faced each other 33 times in T20Is. The Men in Blue have dominated by winning 20 matches, while Australia have managed to win 11 matches so far

Pitch Report

The MCG provides a competitive environment for both batters and bowlers to play. Historically, spinners haven't done well on this field, but the bowlers have been dominant on most occasions, which makes scoring a challenging task
