AUS vs IND 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
India will look to close the T-20 series as the clash with Australia in the second T-20 on Sunday. The match will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground and is scheduled to begin at 7:10 PM local time.
The victor margin for India was a mere 11 runs but Australia was no where close to India the other day. They're already jolted by the injury to David Warner and now, it appears as if Aaron Finch is going to join the list of the injured cricketers.
Without Finch, their batting look slightly vulnerable. D Arc short looked unorganized and didn't look comfortable at all. If you leave out Steve Smith, Glen Maxwell, Mathew Wade and Moises Henriques forms a very shaky batting order.
If Finch missed out, Alex Carey should be Australia's preferred choice. Also Marnus Labuschagne is almost certain to make a cut into the team to stabilize the batting order.
Australia have a decent bowling line up in Josh Hazelwood, Mitchell Starc, and Moises Henriques. The spinners were also spot on in their previous game. Australia might look to switch Sean Abbott with Cameron Green to lengthen their batting line up.
Not only Australia, India too have been affected by injuries as Ravindra JAdeja has been ruled out of the remaining of the T-20 series. Jadeja has been terrefic for India down the order and his loss is a massive blow to Virat Kohli.
Even though India picked up a comprehensive win, they were far from being top notch. Had Ravindra Jadeja not played a blinder, India for sure would have ended with a below par total.
Players like Sanju Samson and Manish Pandey were very disappointing. They need to start performing else they'll lose their spot in the team.
India's bowling was fantastic in the first T-20 but we think Mohammed Shami is going to be left out for Shardul Thakur. Yuzvendra Chahal is certain to play in place of Ravindra Jadeja. Overall, both teams are very strong but India look a slighty more balanced than Australia and will start the match as favorites

Australia made a blunder by asking India to bat first, something teams cannot afford to do on this wicket. It's a bat first wicket thus toss will be very crucial.
