At the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Friday night, the second encounter of the three-match IT20 series pits India and Australia against one another. Tuesday’s opening game of the series saw Australia defeat India by four wickets and four balls after chasing down a score of 209 runs. The game time is 19:00 local time.
India has only defeated Afghanistan in their last four IT20 games, losing to Australia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. They still have a highly good team, though, and they anticipate a comeback.
The first game of the series was won by Australia, showcasing their superior depth. They appear to be in excellent shape as they prepare to defend their T20 World Cup crown.
IND vs AUS Weather Report
The sky will have some cloud cover. Early in the day, scattered thunderstorms are expected. The temperature range will be between 22 and 30 degrees Celsius. 10-15 km/hr will be the wind speed coming out of the west.
IND vs AUS Match Toss Prediction
Teams have successfully protected the objective nine times in 12 T20Is. The previous three games played here are included in this. The average score in the first inning is 153, 25 points higher than the average score in the second inning. However, it will rain before the game. As a result, the second innings will contain dew. The toss winner should therefore bowl first.
IND vs AUS Pitch Report
The pitch leans towards pacers in the second inning but advantages hitters in the first. It is challenging for hitters to score because of the longer boundaries.
India Team News & Probable Playing XIs
We anticipate seeing Jasprit Bumrah back in the India XI for this match after he was left off the roster for the first game of the series. On Tuesday night, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was very pricey, but we believe Bumrah will replace Umesh Yadav.

Australia Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Tim David, who had previously played 14 IT20s for Singapore, made his Australia debut in the opening game of the series in Mohali. After the game on Tuesday, there were no concerns over injuries, and we assume that Aaron Finch will start the same lineup for this encounter.
