Finch and Wade were the only 2 Australian batters that succeeded against the hosts. They managed to hit quickfire cameos and troubled the Indian bowlers, barring Axar Patel. The all-rounder is making sure that India don’t miss Ravindra Jadeja and his brilliance helped the Men in Blue contain the visitors.
The speedster conceded 13 runs in his first over of the 2nd T20I and failed to make a come back in his next one. Wade smashes 3 sixes against the RCB star ending with a score of 43 from just 20 balls. Despite running Smith out on the last ball, Harshal Patel ends with figures of 2-0-32-0. The visitors ends their innings with 90-5. A tough target for the Men in Blue
The former Australia captain found himself hugging the crease with Bumrah’s toe crushing yorker almost injuring him. The visitors are 71-4 with one over left in their innings.

Axar Patel concedes 14 runs in the 6th over. Australia finds themselves at 59-4 . Wade and Smith on the crease for the visitors.
Bumrah gets rid of the Australian skipper with a peach of a ball. Aaron Finch had no response to the Indian speedster’s deadly yorker. 46-4 after 4 overs.

The speedster is FINALLY back with the Indian team. His performance with the ball will heavily impact the result of tonight’s game.
The Indian all-rounder hits the timber once again as Tim David makes the long walk back to the pavilion. Australia are struggling to face the Indian bowlers.

India not learning from their mistakes! Virat Kohli dropped Green in the second over. Catches win matches, team India needs to focus on their fielding to win this.
Finch is on a mission, thrashed Hardik Pandya for 10 runs in the first over, lets see how well he can perform in the following overs!
What a start from Aaron Finch, a dilscoop from Aussies captain on the second ball raises concerns for Rohit Sharma, who poses with a animated face.

Aaron Finch and Cameron Green walks-out to bat, Hardik Pandya to start with the new ball. Surprising move by the Indian skipper.
Rohit Sharma: We’re going to field first. It’s nice, there are so many people who have come to watch us. It is nice to get a game. These games are challenging ones because you don’t know what to do. You just have to go out and express yourself. Hopefully we can put up a good show. Since it is an eight over game, we had to make two changes: Bumrah comes in for Umesh Yadav. Bhuvi misses out too and Pant comes in.
Rohit, Rahul, Kohli, Surya, Pant, Hardik, Karthik, Axar, Harshal, Bumrah, Chahal.
Meanwhile: Check the ongoing clash between England and Pakistan!

Both the match officials are seen interacting with Aaron Finch and Rohit Sharma. They have inspected the pitch and given a updated status to the duo.
Fans have started to question the ground conditions and demand the Indian cricket board to develop facilities.
Time for BCCI top officials to spend their time n money to improve the facilities of stadiums all over India instead of concentrating only on how can make more money from IPL and also on wat positions to go for during the coming elections.

The next pitch inspection is scheduled to take place at 20:45 IST with the match officials also stating that the cut-off time which could see a five-over game being played is 21:46 IST.
Another inspection scheduled at 8.45pm. Really frustrating that due to wet outfield fans are missing out cricketing action.

The umpires have a word with the Murli Karthik Here’s what they had to say. “It is still soggy. It is not safe for the players and we are still waiting for it to dry. The groundstaff are trying their job. Let’s see if we can get something tonight. We are concerned about this game. We are not looking ahead. Both teams will come strong and the runup is a point of concern. The safety of the players is a priority”
Umpires are expect to walk out and inspect the field in some time and if all goes well, the match could start before 8:30. We could have a 15-over a side game on our hands.
Fans await for the toss, with the umpires set to check the pitch at 8 PM. Meanwhile, fans amuse themselves with memes while we wait to hear more on the second T20I.

He says, It has been an amazing journey. Wonderful ride till now and am working hard for everything. I have enjoyed batting everywhere but number four is perfect for me. It helps me control the game. I enjoy batting when the pressure is high. Most important challenge in Australia would be for us to be smart with our shot selection. Everything else remains the same.
Shastri expects the bowlers to gain a lot of help from the 22 yards in the second T20I. Both the captains will be eager to win the toss this time around.

Hello and welcome to the live updates of the India vs Australia second T20I clash. The visitors rode on the performances of Cameron Green and Matthew Wade to register a massive 4-wicket win in the first game at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on 20th September 2022.
Green scored 61 off 30 balls to hand his team a flying start while Wade walked in to see his team through with his 45 off 21 balls in the end. The Rohit Sharma led side will be eager to bounce back onto the winning ways after being handed a massive loss in the first clash.
India’s four-wicket loss to Australia had a lot of similarities to their recent defeats against Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Asia Cup 2022. Their inability to stop the run flow at the death overs has cost them plenty of games in the recent past. The Men in Blue will surely be feeling the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and expect him to walk straight back for the second game.

Aaron Finch’s side, on the other hand, looked at great ease despite playing without the services of their key players in the likes of David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and Marcus Stoinis in the first match of the India vs Australia series. They have gone on to prove why they are one of the most sorted after sides in T20 cricket. The visitors will be eager to keep the winning momentum going when they walk down at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur for the India vs Australia, 2nd T20I.
