Australia registered a thrilling victory over India as the defeated the visitors by merely 4 runs in the first T20. Australia performed like an all-round team in the 1st T20I and they surprised visitors. The team would be looking to maintain their winning momentum and seal the 3-match T20I series. Australia is looking for a series victory since the ball-tampering scandal which rocked the cricketing world. Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and bowlers were impressive in the 1st T20I and will look to continue to do well.
India’s top order, similar to Australia, failed to make an impression in the 1st game. However, they can’t be underestimated as they are one of the best in the world. Young Rishabh Pant is looking in great touch, but he need to select his shots carefully, unlike the 1st game. India bowlers struggled after the initial overs, so that’s a worry. Here is the probable dream XI prediction for India and Australia for 2nd T20I:
FPJ’s Dream 11 prediction: Rishabh Pant (WK), Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Yuzvendra Chahal, D Arcy Short, Chris Lynn, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa and Khaleel Ahmed.
