India vs Australia 2nd T20 Match Prediction: The Indian team will look to go up 2-0 against Australia in the next match after winning the thrilling first T20 match high scoring match against them. The match will be played at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram, from 7:00 PM.
Indian Cricket Team was fearless in the last match against the Australian bowling side even when they got 209 runs target in 20 overs, as Rinku Singh finished the match with a six when India needed one run from 1 ball. However, it was all about Surayakumar Yadav’s innings of 80 in 42 balls, which kept the Indian team in the game, but it was also the innings of Ishan Kishan who helped the side stay in the game.
Australia came strong right from the start, as Steven Smith and Matthew Short. They started well, but then Ravi Bishnoi took Short’s wicket. After that comes Josh Inglis, who started hitting right from the start and scored his first T20 international century in just 47 balls. Australia put up 208 runs total on a flat track of Vizag.
India’s bowling unit seems weak as Prasidh Krishna went for 50 runs in his four overs, and Arshdeep Singh went for 41 without any wickets. Still, the good thing is Mukesh Kumar was economical on a flat surface with his yorker line and gave only five runs in the last over.
Australia’s bowling unit seemed wavered, but in the last phase of the match, they backed it up to make the match more interesting. Still, they gave away many extras and were not executing the bowling plans.

Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram pitch has been good for batters and pace bowlers as in the later phase of the day in the night, there is a lot of dew on the ground, which gives an advantage to batters and a disadvantage to spin bowlers. Even though the average 1st innings score has been just 114 runs, the average from two fully played matches is 138.
Team Preview Of India
Indian batting showed a promising start to the T20 series as they were able to chase down a huge total of 209, but the bowling unit disappointed the team because they gave away too many runs. Arshdeep Singh missed his line, and the Yorkers, on the other hand, Prasidh Krishna, did not use many different lines or lengths.
Important players for the India Team in the match against Australia
1- Yashasvi Jaiswal started off well in the last match but then threw his wicket at Matthew Short. He needs to know when to keep hitting bowlers and when to hold back, which he did not in the last match, as the team wants him to stay longer on the crease. He scored 21 runs in just eight balls with two sixes and two fours.
2- Suryakumar Yadav played a captain’s innings and made a bold statement that no one can touch him in the T20 format, but it is very clear that he does not have the same confidence in the ODI or test matches. His captaincy was not impressive in his first match, which clearly tells about the field placement.
3- Mukesh Kumar has been one of the bowlers who bowls well in the death overs but will not be able to take wickets, so he has only three wickets in six matches. He has 37 wickets in 44 T20 matches, including IPL.
Team Preview Of Australia
Australia has been brave on the field, and in the last match, they were too good with batting, but with bowling, they failed to execute their plans of bowling wide lines, which they did in the finals of the World Cup when they all bowled slow bouncer. They might make some changes in the next match against India.
Important players for the Australia Team in the match against India
1- Matthew Short got a good start in the last match but failed to convert it, but he did take one wicket of Jaiswal because there are around six lefties in the India team whom against he can bowl, but it all depends on the pitch also.
2- Sean Abbott is one of the upcoming bowling all-rounders for the Australia team. He bowled a fantastic spell, doing two runs out and taking one wicket, but it was quite expensive. He can give a hand in the batting, too, if needed.
3- Josh Inglish played a mind-blowing innings in the last match, scoring 110 in just 50 balls with a strike rate of 220. He has been amazing in the World Cup knockout matches and in the last match, which is good news for the Australian team.
