India Vs Australia Livescore ,Bangalore

India has to settle accounts in the second T20I against Aussies. Aussies clinched victory in first t20 at Visakhapatnam. couple of months back Australia were defeated in Australia against India. But India are in danger of losing t20 series in India. Bangalore is ready to host the second t20. This is the last t20 in this series.

Team India are under humongous pressure after losing the first t20. Batsmen are purely responsible in the defeat in first t20. Still bowlers almost managed to win the match until Aussies tailanders managed to score 13 runs in last over.

Pitch Conditions

We all are aware of how batsmen friendly is Bangalore pitch. Plenty of runs are on the cards. Spinners could get some assistance. India might well play with three spinners once again. Krunal Pandya’s performance should be satisfactory for team management.

Changes in Team

Chances are high for India to make changes. India adapted rotation policy just before world cup. Shikhar Dhawan was rested in first t20I. He might be included in playing XI. KL Rahul will be given more chances after performing in first t20I. India might rest Shikhar Dhawan on this occasion. Vijay Shankar might be given a chance by replacing either Pant or Dinesh Karthik. Sources from grapevine also say that Siddharth Kaul  might replace Umesh Yadav. Once again Dhoni’s agility was under the radar.

India has never lost a bilateral t20 series against Australia.  In 2008 India lost to Australia in a single game. India never faced Australia at chinnaswamy stadium. Australia had fond memories playing here by winning against Bangladesh in 2016 WC.  Aussies won by three wickets in that match.

Cricinfo Predictions

  • Shikhar Dhawan to score a fifty.
  • Expect more than 180 runs by team batting first.
  • Team chasing is unlikely to win the match.

First T20: India Vs Australia Live Score, Vishakapatnam

India VS Australia Live preview

Australia will commence their tour in India with t20’s. As a part of Indian series, Australia will face India in two t20’s. India start the series with favourites tag. Australian team arrived in India after their domestic t20 league, BBL.

Where to watch India VS Australia first t2o?

Star Sports 1 will telecast the first t20 between India and Australia.

Preview.

Vizag will host first of two t20’s . Vizag pitch is known for its batting inclination. Expect a high scoring game and rely on team batting second to win the game. Though Hardhik Pandya misses out, India is confidant with joining of Skipper Virat Kohli. There is no looking back for Indian team’s opening partnership. Dhoni also caight up with his form. Dinesh karthik will contend with Rishabh Pant and Rahul for a place. Vijay Shankar and Krunal Pandya’s batting form is favourable condition for India. In the absence of Hardhik Pandya , Chances for Vijay Shankar to be in team are promising.

Stronger in bowling too..

India was and is always a strong team in batting department. Now, they have bowling attack to compliment their batting. With Bumrah, Kuldeep, Umesh and Bhuvameswar Kumar Inida is definitely better bowling unit too. Chahal troubled all Aussies in India’s tour of Australia. Newbie, Mayank Markande is unlikely to get a game today. India won their 7 t20’s at home consecutively.

There are lot of things for Australia to sort out during this tour. They have to find stability first. They are on a misssion to take revenge for their defeat on home soil. There are lot of places in Australia side to fill in. Including skipper, no position is stable in Aussie side. Facing Indian spinner is the biggest task for India.

Predictions

  • Expect 180+ score in first innings.
  • Rohit to score a fifty.
  • Dhawan to score 30+ score.
