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.
