The second IND vs AUS T20I will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne on October 31 (Friday).

Australian Cricket Team and Indian Cricket Team will collide in second T20I of the ongoing five-match series on Friday, October 31. The encounter will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, where both sides will look for a fresh start as the opening game was washed out due to rain.

The first T20I, which was scheduled at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, ended without a result after it was hampered by rain from the start. Australia captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and opted to bowl first in the encounter. Indian opener Abhishek Sharma started well with a few boundaries, however, he became a victim of Nathan Ellis in the fourth over.

Shubman Gill (37*) and Suryakumar Yadav (39*) helped the team reach 97/1 in 9.4 overs when the match was halted by continuous rain. Eventually, the umpires called off the encounter. Notably, the second T20I in Melbourne also has a high risk of being affected by rain, according to weather reports.
