3.4 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Oh, wow! Yashasvi Jaiswal has racked up 18 runs off the first four deliveries already. Drops it a bit short over middle, Jaiswal stays put and forces the pull shot, getting it up and over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.
3.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Make that a hat-trick of boundaries and India are flying now. Pace on this time, a touch shorter and close to the off stump, Yashasvi Jaiswal hangs back and lets the ball come on before dabbing it past short third man for a boundary.

1.2 overs (1 Run) Uppish but safe! Pitched up again around off, Yashasvi Jaiswal looks to drive on the up but the ball holds a bit and Jaiswal gets it off the inner half again to the left of the bowler. The ball eludes the diving bowler and Jaiswal picks up a quick single to mid on.

Nathan Ellis to operate from the other end.
0.6 over (2 Runs) On a hard length again and angled into the body, again its the indifferent bounce that troubles the batter and Ruturaj Gaikwad misses the pull. The ball goes off the thigh pad down to fine leg and they pick up a couple of leg byes. 10 off the first over, a good start for India.
0.5 over (1 Run) A touch shorter over middle, Yashasvi Jaiswal awkwardly pulls it away behind square leg and picks up a single.

0.3 over (4 Runs) FOUR! Ruturaj Gaikwad is off the mark in fine fashion! Serves this one full around off, floated up and gets it to shape away. Gaikwad gets on the front foot and just leans on before caressing it through covers for a boundary.

We are all set for the match to begin! The umpires are out in the middle and so are the players of Australia. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad are the two openers for India. Marcus Stoinis has been handed the new ball and is raring to go. Let's play...
The Indian captain, Suryakumar Yadav says that they were also looking to bowl first and with the amount of dew there has been here, it was the sensible decision. Adds that the way the boys turned up with the bat after conceding 200 plus runs was nice to see and will look to continue the same. On his captaincy, he says that he is starting to get a hang of it and ends by informing that they are going with the same eleven.
Matthew Wade, the captain of Australia says they are going to bowl. Adds that they expect dew to come later and the wicket should be good. Mentions it's about looking at the conditions and doing accordingly. He reckons, Australia did well in the last game but India were tidy in some areas. He informs that almost everyone's available with Adam Zampa coming in for Jason Behrendorrf and Glenn Maxwell coming in for Aaron Hardie.
Australia (Playing XI) - Steven Smith, Matthew Short, Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell (In for Aaron Hardie), Tim David, Matthew Wade (C/WK), Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Tanveer Sangha, Adam Zampa (In for Jason Behrendorff).
India (Unchanged Playing XI) - Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan (WK), Suryakumar Yadav (C), Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, and Prasidh Krishna.
TOSS - Australia win the toss and they will BOWL first.
PITCH REPORT - Murali Kartik is pitchside. He says that only three T20 games prior to this have been played here, so, the sample size is small. Matthew Hayden joins him and says in an international game there's always pressure and the average score is 139 but reckons the pitch looks good and might turn and bounce and there will be more runs. Kartik adds that it is dry and hard and mentions that there will be dew in the game, so, the captain winning the toss will look to chase.
Australia too had a new-look side for this series but had some experienced names in the squad. Matthew Wade donned the captain's armband but it was former skipper Steven Smith who picked up a stellar fifty before Josh Inglis simply put the Indian bowlers to the sword and raced away to an amazing ton which helped the Aussies breach the 200-run mark but the inexperienced bowling line up failed to defend the target. They will hope to mend the little things and get back on level terms. Can Australia make it 1-1? Or will India cruise to a 2-0 lead? We shall find out. Toss and team news in a bit.
India came into this series with the dismay of the World Cup final behind them and a fairly young but T20-wise experienced side. The skipper, Suryakumar Yadav might not have had the best of times in the field as his bowlers conceded a lot of runs but certainly made a mark with the bat with a thunderous 80-run inning. Ishan Kishan too made a half-century and it was some heroics from Rinku Singh right at the death that sealed a 1-0 lead for the hosts.
Hello and a warm welcome to one and all! We are at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram for the 2nd T20I between India and Australia. It was a riveting start to the five-match series as the hosts won the contest on the final ball of the game which was a no ball despite a sensational ton by Josh Inglis that propelled Australia to 208. We can expect more fireworks from this contest as well.
