Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, says that the pitch looks really nice. Says that they are missing Finch at the top so they want to put them under pressure. Tells that one side of the ground is small. Feels that if someone puts their hands up, they can win the game. Adds that's what they have done in the last two games. Adds that they have made three changes. Mohammed Shami has been rested and Shardul Thakur replaces him. Tells that Manish Pandey had a niggle and Iyer comes into the side for him. And Chahal is the replacement for Jadeja, informs the Indian skipper.

Toss - Time for the toss here in Sydney. Aaron Finch has been ruled out of today's game. Virat Kohli is down with his  new Australian counterpart, Matthew Wade. Up goes the coin and it lands in favour of Virat Kohli. INDIA ELECT TO FIELD!

After losing the ODI series, India have started the T20I leg with a bang. They thumped the Aussies in the first encounter and now would be eager to do the same here in the 2nd game of the series. Just like the Aussies did during the ODI series, Virat Kohl's men will look to seal the series here only. Australia, on the other hand, would hope for a better outing. How will things turn around? What's the updated on Aaron Finch? How's the pitch going to behave? We will bring all these news along with toss and team update. Stay with us.
