Australia defeated India in the first T20I :
In this three-match T20I series, India and Australia will square off against one another for the second time on Friday. In the opening T20I, both teams played great cricket.
With the help of Green’s 61 and Wade’s 45, Australia overcame India in the first T20I by successfully chasing down a massive 208. Before it, India batted rather effectively with contributions from KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav of 55 and 46 runs and Hardik Pandya’s 71 runs. India’s poor bowling performance was a big contributing factor to their defeat.
A fantastic cricket match is anticipated here on Friday as these two teams square off once more in Nagpur. With a victory, Australia will have a commanding advantage in the series.
