India and Australia will face off in the second T20I of the series. India has a fine opportunity to win another T20I series Down Under. Team Preview After outperforming Australia in Canberra, Men In Blue has reached Sydney to play the final two T20Is. The captain Kohli is going to win another T20I series after nine consecutive T20I wins. On Friday, India was not in a good situation after losing six at 114, but Jadeja fired with 44 off just 23 balls to post 161. Australia started on a high note by scoring 52 in powerplay without losing a single wicket. Chahal was introduced to Jadeja’s substitute, and he finished his spell with three wickets. Natarajan also scalped three wickets in his debut match. India has lost one T20I series in 3-matches bilateral series. They have a winning percentage of 86.67. Jadeja has been ruled of the T20I series, and Shardul Thakar will join him as the replacement. India will make some changes in the playing XI. Shreyas Iyer might be included in the middle-order, and Samson can get one more chance. For the 5th bowling-option, Kohli can add Yuzvendra Chahal after an excellent performance in Canberra. The skipper can also think about Shardul, who can also bat in the lower-order. On the other hand, Australia would try to bounce back in the series. After defeating the visitors in the first two ODIs, Australia lost two back-to-back affairs in different formats. Aaron Finch has a good record in the T20s as captain, and he hasn’t lost a series at home, but the Aussies can lose the series if they deliver the same show on Sunday. In the last two overs in the previous game, Australia conceded 34 runs, which cost them a match. In middle-order, their too much reliability on Smith and Maxwell hurt the Hosts. Finch can include Alex Carey in place of Mathew Wade. Ashton Agar has been ruled of the series, and Nathan Lyon has been named his replacement. Australia can also recall Andrew Tye in place of Abbott. Pitch Report SCG’s surface is a fine batting track, and it favours the batsmen more. It has offered high-scoring games in the T20 format. The chasing side will have an advantage as the batting would be slightly easier in the second half. Possible XI India Virat Kohli (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer/Manish Pandey, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, KL Rahul (wk), Yuzvendra Chahal/Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Deepak Chahar, T Natarajan Australia Aaron Finch (c), Steve Smith, D’Arcy Short, Moises Henriques, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Swepson/Nathan Lyon, Mathew Wade/Alex Carey (wk), Sean Abbott/Andrew Tye, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa Key Players India KL Rahul Yuzvendra Chahal Australia Steve Smith Moises Henriques We are offering cricket fans all the major updates and match predictions with all the vital information.

India vs Australia T20I face-off in the opening T20I of the three-matches T20I series at Canberra. Australia clinched the ODI series 2-1 as India won the final ODI by 13 runs.
Team Preview Team India will start the T20I series after a disappointing series loss in ODIs against Australia. In the T20s, India will enter as the favourites after the dominating numbers in the past. This year, Kohli’s troops whitewashed New Zealand in the 5-matches seriesDown Under. In the home-season, they edged past Bangladesh and West Indies. India will host the next T20 World Cup, and this series will help them to find the best combination. India will miss Rohit Sharma, but they have two top performers KL Rahul and Dhawan, as openers who were the top-scorers of the Indian T20 League. Either Iyer or Manish Pandey will bat at number four, following Virat Kohli at one-down. In the middle, Kohli can pick Washington Sundar, who had bowled very well in powerplays in UAE. With Jadeja and Chahal, India already have two options in the spin. Team management can also rest either Shami or Bumrah to prepare for the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21. Natarajan will also earn the T20I cap, and Deepak Chahar would be the other seamer who can bowl with the new ball. Team India had last won the T20I series in Australia in 2016 when under MS-Dhoni, Team India whitewashed Australia. The previous series between India and Australia won by the Aussies, who had a 2-0 triumph on India tour in 2019. The hosts will miss Warner, and Finch would go with D’archy Short in the opening slot. Short has proved his worth in the Australian T20 League before. Labuschagne will be dropped to give him more time to prepare for the Test series. In the absence of Pat Cummins, Andrew Tye will take the new ball. Stoinis’ availability is in doubt due to injury, and Moises Henriques will play as an all-rounder after impressing in the ODI series. Australia will go with two spin options, Agar and Zampa. Ashton Agar also provides the batting option in death. Australia has defeated South Africa in T20s Down Under but lost to England 2-1 in September. Last year, they played three T20 series against Asian giants and didn’t lose a single game. The Aussies will also look to take the top spot in Rankings as England are the new Rankings holder after a 3-0 clean sweep against South Africa. Pitch Report Manuka Oval’s track is fast and produces a good bounce. Pacers can take early help from the pitch. It’s a batting-friendly wicket, and we might expect a high-scoring game on Thursday. Possible XI India Virat Kohli (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul (wk), Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah/Mohammed Shami, Deepak Chahar, T Natarajan Australia Aaron Finch (c), Steve Smith, D’Arcy Short, Moises Henriques, Glenn Maxwell, Ashton Agar, Alex Carey (wk), Andrew Tye, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa Key Players India KL Rahul Yuzvendra Chahal Australia Steve Smith Glenn Maxwell Cricketing action is back and we offer all the information regarding the upcoming major cricket events such as new, predictions and match analysis.
