In men’s cricket, India heads to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the second T20I against Australia on Friday.
In the opening game, Suryakumar roared back to form with a 24-ball 39, helping India get off to a good start.
However, rain had the last word in Canberra as the match was abandoned with India strongly placed at 97 for one after 9.4 overs.
Going into the second match, India will look to continue the momentum and adopt the same explosive batting approach.
India’s bowling lineup features the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel, making them a formidable unit.
Australia’s T20 template is quite similar to India’s, with a focus on playing attacking cricket.
However, their bowling looks a bit thin on experience, and the onus is on Josh Hazlewood to lead the attack, which comprises Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, and others.
