IND vs AUS 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
After India won the opening game of the series by 2 wickets with 1 ball remaining on Thursday evening in Visakhapatnam, the hosts go head to head with Australia again in the second match on Sunday afternoon in Thiruvananthapuram. Read on as we preview this game. The T20I gets underway at the Greenfield International Cricket Stadium at 19:00 local time.
With a very different team to the one that had performed so well in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, India showed they have plenty of strength in depth and the ability to beat a strong team in T20Is on Thursday. We expect India to be very hard to beat once more in this match.
Although they will have been disappointed to lose such a tight contest on Thursday, Australia showed that they also have depth in their squad and could easily have come out on top. Once again, we expect them to be competitive in this T20I.

IND vs AUS Match Toss Prediction
The last two T20Is in Thiruvananthapuram have been won by the team fielding first and so we are predicting that both captains will choose for field first if they win the toss ahead of the second T20I.
IND vs AUS Pitch Report
The pitch at the Greenfield International Stadium is typically not too quick but tends to offer movement for the pace and swing bowlers. A par score will be no higher than 165 with the surface slightly two-paced at times.
Thiruvananthapuram Weather Report
According to the forecast, there could well be some thunderstorms in the hours before this game in Thiruvananthapuram. However, dry and humid conditions are expected during the scheduled match time.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
No injuries were reported by India after their narrow win on Thursday and they will be looking for a better performance with both bat and ball in this game. We are not expecting to see any changes for India in this clash in Thiruvananthapuram.
IND Key Players
- Suryakumar Yadav- the skipper took the Player of the Match Award in the opening game of the series and he has now hit a score of 50+ from 19 of his innings in this format.
- Ishan Kishan- the 25 year old keeper-batter was part of the World Cup squad but only featured twice. However, he hit 58 runs from 39 balls in the opening game of this series.
- Arshdeep Singh- the swing bowler has taken 54 wickets from 37 T20I innings. He is very consistent and the game on Thursday was only the sixth time he has gone wicketless in T20Is.
- Ravi Bishnoi- only two of India’s bowlers picked up a wicket in the first T20I but the spinner was one of them. He has a strike-rate of 15.3 in this format.
IND Team Form
India come into this T20I with a record of only one defeat from their last eight games in this format.
India Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Mukesh Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Ravi Bishnoi
Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
Josh Inglis and Steven Smith were the only two players who featured in the World Cup Final last Sunday who were also selected for the opening match of this series. Aaron Hardie, who was only called into the squad as a late replacement for David Warner, is expected to be picked again in this T20I.
AUS Key Players
- Josh Inglis- the keeper-batter struck a very impressive 11 fours and eight sixes in his first international century in Thursday’s series opener.
- Steven Smith- the 34 year old right-hander clearly knows that he was not at his best in the Cricket World Cup and wants to be in contention for the T20 World Cup next year. He hit his 120th international score of 50+ on Thursday.
- Sean Abbott- the right-arm fast medium bowler has picked up at least one wicket in 12 of his last 13 international appearances. He has 9 wickets from his last four T20Is.
- Jason Behrendorff- the 33 year old left-arm fast medium bowler is an excellent powerplay bowler in this format and was by far the most economical of Australia’s attack on Thursday.
AUS Team Form
Australia ended a long unbeaten run in T20Is on Thursday but it was only a narrow defeat in the series opener.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
Matthew Short, Steven Smith, Josh Inglis, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Aaron Hardie, Matthew Wade (c) (wk), Nathan Ellis, Sean Abbott, Jason Behrendorff, Tanveer Sangha
India vs Australia Head to Head

🏆 India vs Australia Prediction
Pundits, commentators and neutral cricket fans across the globe will be hoping for another tense and close contest between these two teams on Sunday evening. Both will feel that there is room for improvement in their performances from Thursday but we think that India’s bowling could go up a few levels in this match. With that in mind, we are predicting another win for India in the second T20I.
