IND VS AUS 2nd T20I Dream XI Prediction
IND VS AUS 2nd T20I Dream XI Prediction: India takes on Australia in a three-match T20I series to set the tone for the forthcoming T20 World Cup in 2022. The series is crucial for both teams, with Australia having last played T20 matches in June and India having a disappointing Asia Cup. Both sides are on equal footing and capable of competing head-to-head.
One of the three matches has been concluded, and it was a letdown for India. The squad played well with the bat but had a dismal bowling performance. The bowling was lacking in crispness. The team’s shoddy fielding persists, which raises several problems.
Australia, on the other hand, may have allowed 200+ runs in the first innings, but chasing 208 runs with a few balls to spare seemed like a breeze. The innings had several hitches, but the Australian players handled it well and just showed us butter innings.
Death bowling is still a danger for both sides. However, India’s early lack of wicket-taking prowess allowed Australia to overcome them in the powerplay. Jasprit Bumrah’s comeback in the second T20I should help with that. While Australia will hope to concede fewer runs and continue the same batting.

Pitch Report
The balance between ball and bat is usual. However, the pitch typically favors the team batting first because it’s difficult to chase here, as evidenced by the second innings’ average score of 128. The chasers might run into some difficulties due to the surface’s deteriorating speed if the team batting first scored around 180. We can totally expect a high-scoring match. Although, rain can play a spoilsport on Friday.
IND Vs AUS Probable Playing XIs:
India XI
Rohit Sharma (capt), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah/Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal/R Ashwin
Australia XI
Aaron Finch (capt), Cameron Green, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (wk), Pat Cummins, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
Power Play scores:
A lot will depend on how Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul perform as openers. If they get going we can expect 50+ runs.
For Australia, Finch and Green’s duo is doing well. It will be something to watchout for. We can expect a similar score of 55-60 from them too.
Death Over scores:
India’s batters are capable of scoring quickly, particularly in the death overs. Given that, we may expect India to score 50-55 in the last four overs. Australia, too, has some great batters in their lineup. We saw that in the first match and, it is likely, they will score 50-55 runs in the death overs.
Overall scores:
In their 20-overs, India may score between runs. If Australia bats first, they might score 175-185 runs.
Who will win Today’s match between IND Vs AUS?
In a must-win game for India, all hopes would be placed on Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar early in the Australian innings. It will be India’s game if the bowlers can limit the opponent to fewer runs. But we can’t put everything on a guy who will be back in action after a layoff. This puts Australia on top and makes them favorites for the second T20I. Although we are aware of Team India’s strengths, fans should keep their fingers crossed because the outcomes might go anyway.
