India and Australia are back on the field for the second T20I of their five-match series, held at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Oct 31, 2025.
After the first match in Canberra was washed out due to rain, fans are hoping for a full game this time.
Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav said he was happy to bat first, calling it “the brand of cricket we want to play.”
The Indian team remains unchanged, while Australia made one change—bringing in Matthew Short for Josh Philippe.
Match Updates:
India 125 allout in 19 overs!
Shubhman Gill survived a sure shot LBW on the very first ball of the innings. And he gets hit on his helmet by a nasty bouncer. At the end of the first over, India’s score was 4 runs in 1.2 overs.
The pitch report suggests a good surface for batting, although it might slow down later in the game due to overcast conditions.
Rain is again in the forecast, but most weather radars show improvement after 5 PM local time.
The bowling unit sees Arshdeep Singh and Ravi Bishnoi leading the charge, with Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah providing spin and death-over precision.
