AUS vs IND Live Streaming, 2nd T20: Following a washout in the first T20I because of incessant rain, India and Australia meet once again in the second T20 at the prestigious Melbourne Cricket Ground, MCG, on Friday, October 31. The series is still at 0-0 and both sides will be gunning to take an early lead and gain momentum into the final game.
Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav’s return to form in the first encounter was a huge relief for India. The skipper seemed fluent with his trademark flicks down the ground and inside-out drives. Shubman Gill found rhythm at the top order, which worked out well for the Men in Blue as well. On the other side, Josh Hazlewood was outstanding for Australia as he bowled in good areas and extracted movement with the overcast conditions, while Nathan Ellis and Xavier Bartlett will need to work on their control.

India (IND) Predicted XI: Shubman Gill (vc), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav
Australia (AUS) Predicted XI: Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wk), Matthew Short, Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Marcus Stoinis, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, Tanveer Sangha.
India enter this contest slightly ahead in momentum, thanks to their balanced combination of power-hitters and spin varieties. The return of Bumrah, coupled with Axar and Kuldeep, makes India's bowling attack potent for MCG conditions.
The Australians, though, can never be ruled out on home soil. If Marsh and Head get going, and if their pacers find early inroads, the hosts could easily turn the tables on their opponents.
Prediction: India to pip Australia in a close finish.
