Cricket Prediction | India vs Australia | 2nd T20I | Nov 26, 2023 – Can the Men in Blue pick up a second consecutive win against the Aussies?

IND vs AUS Match Analysis

A rising Australia was defeated by a new-look Indian team in the opening T20I at Visakhapatnam, giving India a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. While the Australians lost the high-scoring match, they won’t be too dissatisfied because they gained a lot from it. Meanwhile, India will attempt to make it 2-0 when the two teams face again this Sunday in Thiruvananthapuram.

With a totally different side than the one that played so well in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, India demonstrated on Thursday that they have plenty of depth and the capacity to beat a quality team in T20Is. In this match, we predict India to be extremely difficult to beat.

Although they will be sad to have lost such a close game on Thursday, Australia demonstrated that they have depth in their squad and might have easily won. We expect them to be competitive in this T20I once again.

IND vs AUS Team Preview & Squads

India

With many of its usual players out, the odds are stacked against the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian team in this series, despite the fact that they are playing at home. Then, in the first match, they were put under pressure as Australia slammed them 208-3 in 20 overs. Captain Surya, on the other hand, led from the front with a magnificent 42-ball 80 to bring his team to a thrilling victory.

Ishan Kishan, who scored 58 off 39 balls, was the other exceptional performer. The wicket-keeper batsman seemed rusty at first but eventually found his groove. He will undoubtedly be one of the players to keep an eye on. Rinku Singh lived up to his reputation as a skilled finisher, guiding his team to victory with an undefeated cameo of 22 off 14 balls.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, the opener, missed out on a big hit. However, this young kid is a future star, and we anticipate him making some noteworthy contributions in the upcoming games.

Except for Mukesh Kumar, who gave up only 29 runs in four overs, India’s bowling appeared clueless in the face of Josh Inglis’ attack. Ravi Bishnoi was pulled apart, but we still believe he can deliver in this match. He is a true wicket-taker with the ability to turn the match in the middle overs.

India Squads

India

Suryakumar Yadav (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Prasidh Krishna, and Ravi Bishnoi.

Australia

Australia’s batting performance in the first T20I was outstanding. While Josh Inglis blasted his way to a 47-ball century, Steve Smith kept things in check with a stylish 52 off 41 balls. Marcus Stoinis struggled in the previous match, but this is a format in which he excels. The all-rounder has scored 206 runs in the last ten games, with an average of 41.2 and a strike rate of 157.25.

Tim David has been hitting nearly 163 in T20Is and is one of the most dangerous finishers in the world right now. On these pitches, he will pose a serious threat to India’s inexperienced bowling attack.

Australia’s bowling let them down in the opening game, and it could be a problem for the rest of the series. Apart from Jason Behrendorff, their attack appears to be pretty moderate. Kane Richardson, who has more experience than the rest in the unit, could be tried in the next match.

Because Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, and Adam Zampa had just competed in the World Cup, the team management chose to rest them. It will be fascinating to watch if they are reintroduced following this loss.

Australia Squads

Australia

Matthew Wade (c & wk), Matthew Short, Josh Inglis, Steven Smith, Tim David, Aaron Hardie, Nathan Ellis, Marcus Stoinis, Sean Abbott, Tanveer Sangha, and Jason Behrendorff.

IND vs AUS outfield report

Greenfield International Stadium

The team fielding first has won the last two T20Is in Thiruvananthapuram; thus, we predict that both captains will choose to field first if they win the toss ahead of the second T20I.

Thunderstorms are expected in Thiruvananthapuram in the hours leading up to this match, according to the forecast. During the scheduled playing time, however, dry and humid conditions are expected.

The surface at Greenfield International Stadium is usually not too fast, although it does provide movement for pace and swing bowlers. A par score will be no higher than 170, with the surface occasionally being somewhat two-paced.
