India aim to draw T20I series in the final game in Bengaluru of Australia’s 2019 tour of India
Date and Time : 27th February 2019, 7:00 PM IST
Venue : M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Team India will be extremely disappointed after their loss in first T20I yesterday where they came agonisingly close to win from nowhere. They will now have no choice but to register victory in the second T20I if they expect to not loose at home.
The Batting was one of the reasons of the loss as they posted a below par score. That will need to improve in the second game. While Bowling was somewhat good but still improvements are needed.
On the other hand, Australia were lucky to escape from the defeat in the end but should be said they perhaps deserved to win after all a splendid performance from them.
They will now aim to get a historic series win on Indian soil but know that India will not make it easy.
India are ahead against Australia in terms of the T20I head to head and they will look to continue the good work.
Team news and possible line-ups
Australia are likely going to play the same XI as in the previous game.
As for India, Ravindra Jadeja is available and might play on Wednesday.
Australia XI : Finch (C), Short, Handscomb, Maxwell, Stoinis, Turner, J. Richardson, Cummins, Zampa, Coulter-Nile, Behrendorff.
India XI : R. Sharma, KL Rahul, Kohli (C), Pant, Dhoni, D. Karthik, Jadeja, Markande, Chahal, Bumrah, U. Yadav.
Prediction
India must win this game to keep their hopes alive and I expect them to get the job done on Wednesday.
