IND vs AUS 2022, 2nd T20I: Today's match players list, teams, umpires & revised playing conditions

India vs Australia, 2nd T20I — The Men in Blue must win the 2nd T20I to stay alive in the series.

Team India will take on Australia in the 2nd T20I of the three-match series at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Friday, September 23. The game will be a must-win one for the hosts as they lost to the Aussies by four wickets in the opening T20I in Mohali on Tuesday, September 20.

India did well with the willow to notch up 208 for six while batting first. Hardik Pandya continued his brilliant form with the bat, smashing an unbeaten 71 off only 30 balls. KL Rahul, who has been under a bit of pressure, also scored a crucial 55 off 35, while Suryakumar Yadav impressed with 46 off 25 balls.

At the halfway stage, Team India would have been pleased with the proceedings. However, their bowlers let them down again. Barring Axar Patel (3/17), all the others proved expensive. Bhuvneshwar Kumar had another forgettable encounter at the death. Yuzvendra Chahal also failed to make an impact with his leg-spin, while Harshal’s return from injury was not a fruitful one.

“There are so many people who have come to watch us, so it is nice to get a game. These games are challenging ones because you don't (exactly) know what to do. You just have to go out and express yourself.”
