India and Australia go head to head in the second game of the three-match IT20 series at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Friday evening. Tuesday’s opening match of the series was won by Australia who chased down a target of 209 with four wickets and four balls remaining. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at 19:00 local time.
India have beaten only Afghanistan across their last four IT20s with defeats coming against Australia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. However, they still have a very talented squad and will expect to bounce back.
Australia showed they have excellent strength in depth by winning the opening game of the series. They are certainly looking in very good shape ahead of defending their T20 World Cup title.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sony Sports Network and Sky Sports.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar and Sky Go.
Australia won the toss and chose to field first in the opening game of the series. We predict that both captains will want to get a feel for a good total by bowling first in this match.
We expect to see a pitch which offers plenty of turn for the spin bowlers in this game. Pace bowlers with good variations and pace-off deliveries should also have success.
Although we expect to see some rain earlier in the day, the game should escape any interruptions. It will be cloudy and very humid throughout this match.

After missing out on selection in the first game of the series, we expect to see Jasprit Bumrah back in the India XI for this game. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was very expensive on Tuesday evening but we predict that Bumrah will come in for Umesh Yadav.
India are still experimenting as the approach the T20 World Cup but their form in this format is poor. They have won only one of their last four matches

After playing 14 IT20s for Singapore, Tim David made his first appearance for Australia in the opening game of the series in Mohali. There were no injury worries after the match on Tuesday and we anticipate Aaron Finch will lead out the same team for this fixture.
Australia are in excellent form in IT20 cricket. They have won four of their last five games in this format.
Aaron Finch (c), Cameron Green, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (wk), Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa, Nathan Ellis
Australia continued their fine recent form against India in IT20s with the win on Tuesday evening. India have not beaten Australia at home in an IT20 since October 2017.

Although they are 1-0 down in the three-game series, the bookmakers are backing India to win this match and level the score at 1-1.

Lower order runs were crucial for both sides in the first game but a big score from any of the openers will go a long way to settling the match for their team.
KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are our tips with the bat for India. Sharma has scored four centuries and 3631 runs in total in IT20s.
We are backing Steve Smith, Aaron Finch and Cameron Green as our batting picks for Australia. Finch struck four boundaries in his 13-ball innings on Tuesday.
Our bowling recommendations are Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar for India. Bumrah has 69 wickets from 58 IT20 appearances.
Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa and Pat Cummins are our bowling choices for Australia. Zampa went wicketless
We expect both of these sides to be among the challengers for the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year and this game will be another good test to see how they compare against each other. Australia were too good in the first game of the series but we are backing India to win this contest.
