Share<\/a>India won the toss and elected to field<\/p>\n

Clearly India liked the way things played out for them after fielding first in the first T20, so they\u2019re going to do it again!<\/p>\n

Share<\/a>Preamble\"MeganMegan Maurice<\/p>\n

Hello and welcome to the second T20 of the series and the second match of the \u201cSophie Molineux era\u201d for Australia. You may remember that the first match didn\u2019t go swimmingly for the new captain (though swimming was certainly on the cards after a huge downpour cut the match short).<\/p>\n

Australia could not manage to build a partnership and lost wickets with alarming regularity, putting on a total well short of par and without batting their full complement of overs. As a result, India were easily able to steer themselves ahead of DLS par before the rain hit and walked away with the first win of the series.<\/p>\n

In contrast, today\u2019s weather in our nation\u2019s capital, where we lay our scene, is bright and rain-free, so both teams will need to be prepared to play a full match. For India, it will simply be about continuing their momentum \u2013 their bowling and fielding were excellent on Sunday \u2013 as well as getting the time to bat out a full innings and see what kind of total they are capable of amassing.<\/p>\n

Australia will be looking to bounce back, and with a long line up of batters who all ended up with uncharacteristically low scores on Sunday, they are certainly capable of doing so.<\/p>\n

Whatever happens, it\u2019s sure to be a cracker of a match, so let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n
