Australia and India are set to face each other in the second T20 International of the five-match series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday. The game follows a rain-affected opener in Canberra, where India had started brightly before weather forced an early end.
In Canberra, India posted 97 for one in 9.4 overs before the match was abandoned due to rain. Captain Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill shared an unbeaten 62-run stand from just 35 balls for the second wicket.
“Suryakumar Yadav struck a brisk knock in the first T20I against Australia in Canberra.”
With a sellout crowd anticipated at the MCG — which can host around 90,000 spectators — both teams hope for clear skies and a competitive encounter as they aim to take the lead in the series.
The second T20I between India and Australia at the MCG promises high energy, star players, and the chance to set momentum after a rain-hit opener.
