India vs Australia 2nd T20 live streaming: Where to watch today's match?

India and Australia are taking each other on in the second T20I of the five-match series at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground today. 

India’s struggles on pace-friendly surfaces resurfaced at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the second T20I, as the visitors collapsed to 125 all out after losing half their side for just 49 runs early on. Despite the top-order failure, Abhishek Sharma’s gritty half-century and a composed knock from Harshit Rana helped India recover from a disastrous start. Australia now need 126 runs in 20 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

 

After winning the toss, Australia chose to bowl first, and their pacers immediately made inroads. Shubman Gill survived an early scare through DRS but was dismissed soon after for 5 by Josh Hazlewood. India’s middle order crumbled as Sanju Samson (2), Suryakumar Yadav (1), and Tilak Varma (0) all fell cheaply, leaving the visitors reeling.

 

 

Abhishek’s fighting 68 off 44 balls, along with Harshit Rana’s 35, provided some resistance before Nathan Ellis and Xavier Bartlett cleaned up the tail. India were eventually bowled out in 18.4 overs, setting Australia a modest target on a lively MCG surface.

The coin flip of the match went in Australia's way and they opted to bowl first.   Captain's take after the toss:  Suryakumar Yadav (IND): We are happy to bat first. That is the brand of cricket we want to play. Shubman knows how to score runs. With him you have to run hard between the wickets as well. We are playing the same team.  Mitchell Marsh (AUS): We are going to bowl first. Looks a good one, hopefully it won't change for 40 overs. We have one change.  India vs Australia 2nd T20 playing 11:  India's playing 11 vs Australia: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson(w), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah  Australia's playing 11 vs India: Mitchell Marsh(c), Travis Head, Josh Inglis(w), Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Short, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Josh Hazlewood
