India vs Australia 2nd T20I: Crucial Match Under Threat of Rain
The second cricket game between India and Australia is happening in Melbourne.
The first game was canceled because of rain, so this game is very important for both teams to get ahead in the series.
India is playing with more spinners this time and has chosen a fast bowler named Harshit Rana instead of Arshdeep Singh, even though the Melbourne pitch is good for fast bowlers.
Australia might keep the same players as the first game because not much could be learned from it.
There's a chance that rain might stop this game too.
The coin toss will happen at 1:15 PM Indian Standard Time, and you can watch the game online or on TV.
The second T20 International between India and Australia is scheduled to take place in Melbourne.
The first T20I was abandoned due to rain, making this a crucial match in the four-game series.
India's team includes a heavy spin attack with Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, and Axar Patel, and Harshit Rana in place of Arshdeep Singh.
Australia is expected to field a similar team as the first match, with key players like Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell absent.
There is a threat of rain disrupting the second T20I, similar to the previous game.
