Match Preview:
After a thrilling two-wicket in the first T20I, India will face Australia in Thiruvananthapuram for the second fixture in the five-game series. The Men in Blue had a poor performance with the ball as Josh Inglis scored his maiden international ton and helped the reigning ODI World Cup 2023 champs post a 208-run total. But in the second innings, captain Suryakumar Yadav’s 80 coupled with crucial knocks from Ishan Kishan and Rinku Singh, India clinched the game by two wickets.
Pitch Report:
The Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram has produced balanced tracks with an average score of 114 across three matches. Here, the batters can capitalise after spending some time in the middle. But bowlers, generally dominate as the pitch offers some movement with the new ball, especially in the second innings. Similarly, the spinners could get some turn as the pitch tends to grip with some moisture.
Team Analysis:
India:
The Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India managed to put forth a well-rounded performance to chase down the 209-run target. The Indian bowling had a poor start as all bowlers barring Mukesh Kumar went for runs. But a decent death bowling spell pulled things back for the Men in Blue. Then with the bat, Indian batters comfortably chased the target despite a few hiccups towards the end of the game.

Australia:
For Mathew Wade’s Australia, the defending ODI World Cup 2023 champions fell short against India based on the combination of their playing XI. The decision to field only four proper bowlers allowed the Indians to score runs despite a few economical overs by Jason Behrendorff. Talking about the Aussie batting, their poor powerplay also created a disadvantage as the score fell short despite a great middle-phase partnership.
