Match Timing: 26 Nov 2023 19:00 IST
Venue: Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram
The second-string sides of India and Australia will face off in the 2nd T20I of the series. India leads the series 1-0 and will look to make it 2 in 2. Australia on the other hand will look to win this match and make it 1 all with 3 more matches to follow. The Indian team will look to get a good start with the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaekwad, and Ishan Kishan in the top 3. The skipper SuryaKumar Yadav will provide the firepower in the middle order. Such is the bench strength of India that the second-string team also can give a win against the big teams. Surya is coming on the back of a match-winning knock of 80 in the 1st T20 and will look to extend his purple patch in T20 cricket. Tilak Verma and Rinku Singh will be the designated finishers; Rinku has already played a crucial role in the last match's win. The spin department will be led by Axar Patel, who can also bat really well, and Ravi Bishnoi. There is also a chance that Washington Sundar might get the nod in place of Axar or Bishnoi. The pace bowling will be led by Arshdeep Singh, comprising the likes of Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan, and Mukesh Kumar.
Australia on the other hand has not played the players who were part of the World Cup. The likes of Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell will come into the team at some stage, but for now, they will open with Steve Smith and Matthew Short. After the scintillating century in the last match, Josh Inglis will remain at No 3. Australia will hope that the middle order of Marcus Steinis, Tim David, and Matthew Wade will make some runs in this match. Tanveer Sangha will once again carry out the duties as the lead spinner. Pace bowling comprises Jason Benhrendroff, Sean Abbott, and Nathan Ellis. They are not likely to make any changes to the playing XI
