On expected lines, India are fielding the same playing XI and stuck to their winning combination. Good news for Australia as their regular T20I skipper and seasoned opener Aaron Finch is back to lead the hosts. Meanwhile all-rounder Marcus Stoinis won't feature in the game. The Aussies look a bit weak in the seam bowling department with Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins not there. Here is what the skippers had to say  Virat Kohli (Indian Skipper): We are going to bowl. Shorter boundaries and we had a good game last time and for the bowling line-up as well we wanted to be more professional and test ourselves. It's been a really good year for us in terms of T20 cricket, if we keep staying ahead of the opposition, and as a group we want to make sure we keep getting those results and win games of cricket. Aaron Finch (Australian Skipper) : We would have bowled first as well. It's a used wicket and hopefully we'll bat well tonight. We did see a bit of turn in the last game and expect the spinners to play key role in the middle overs. Only one change. I come in and Stoinis is out Here are the Playing XIs for the two teams India (Playing XI): KL Rahul(w), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli(c), Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, T Natarajan, Yuzvendra Chahal
