India had been a beast at home with the white ball winning their last two series with a scoreline of 3-0. They won the first game of the series by five wickets. KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja were the stars of the show with their 108-run partnership which saw India home. India started with the bat poorly losing four wickets under 39 runs. India was in deep trouble but these two bailed them out. India was impressive with the bowling though restricting Australia to only 188 runs. India will welcome their captain Rohit Sharma in this game. India will look for the same performances with the ball and a good top-order performance.
India Predicted Lineup
Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya (c), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik, Kuldeep Yadav
Australia form
The kangaroos came into the series with great form but were humbled by India in the test series and also in the first game. They have themselves to blame as they were all out for only 188 runs and only Mitchell Marsh scored 81 runs. All other Australian batsmen did not even reach above 20+ runs. Australia started well with the ball with Mitchell taking top order batsman cheaply but Australia was not able to break the Rahul-Jadeja partnership which lead to the defeat. David Warner did not come out to the field which will be scary for the men in yellow. Australia will be looking for some motivation to win this game and level the series.
Australia Lineup
David Warner, Travis Head, Steve Smith (c), Marnus Labuschagne, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Sean Abbott, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa
