[ad_1]
India vs Australia Live Score Updates, 2nd T20: Ind vs Aus, Suryakumar Yadav-led India will be looking for their second win of the five-match T20 series with another victory at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.
The Men in Blue had a lot of boxes ticked in their 8-wicket win in Vizag on Friday, with skipper Suryakumar Yadav leading from the front and Rinku Singh continuing to be temperamentally sound to give this second string Indian side their first win of the series. Notably, the Indian team are missing the services of all-rounder and skipper Hardik Pandya, who has been ruled out of the tournament due to an ankle injury sustained in the league stage of the recently concluded World Cup, while veterans such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been absent from the T20 squad since the end of the 2022 T20 World Cup.
The Aussies, on the other hand, are playing with the same squad that won the World Cup with the exception of a few players, including skipper Pat Cummins and veteran opener David Warner.
While the Kangaroos narrowly missed out on a chance to win the first T20, the Mathew Wade-led side would still take plenty of positives from the last match, including a total of 208 runs in the 20 overs with Josh Inglis and Steve Smith leading the innings, while the Kangaroos would feel that their bowling would need to create more chances to beat this Indian side.

India vs Australia Live: After his match-winning knock in Vizag, Rinku said, “As for my secret to calmness, I had discussions with Mahi (Dhoni) bhai about what he does to stay calm, especially in the last over… He (Dhoni) told me to try to remain as calm as possible and try looking straight (at the bowler).
