India vs Australia 2nd T20 International: Finally, good news has arrived for cricket fans after tons of waiting, as Ind vs Aus 2nd T20I is all set to start at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. The second T20I of the three-match T20 series between India and Australia will be a match of 8 overs per side. The ground was wet due to the rain that had occurred for the past few days, causing a wet outfield and hence the playfield was not ready in time to start the match on time.
Notably, the first ball of the match was bowled at 9:30 pm, while the toss took place at 9:15 pm. Each side gets to bowl two overs of powerplay, while a bowler cannot bowl more than two overs. However, the good thing will be that no team will face any penalty for slow over rate.
Rohit Sharma & Co. won the toss and decided to bowl first. The Men in Blue made two changes in their playing XI. Jasprit Bumrah replaced Umesh Yadav while Rishabh Pant came in place of Bhuvneshewar Kumar.
Tonight is a do-or-die match for India as Australia is already 1-0 up in the three-match T20I series.
Ind vs Aus 2nd T20 International was finally given a thumbs up after three inspections. Some passionate fans on twitter lashed out at BCCI for delay due to the wet outfield.
