India and Australia 2nd T20I Melbourne Cricket Ground Pitch Report: This five-match contest has already taken a wet and dramatic turn, and the spotlight now moves to Melbourne, where both sides want momentum early in the series. With form checks, new talent, and a massive ground in play, fans hope the game lasts longer than umbrellas this time.

India and Australia will meet again in the second T20I on October 31 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, looking to finally get a proper game after rain spoiled the series opener in Canberra. The first match was reduced to 18 overs due to showers, but another downpour stopped play when India reached 97/1 in the 10th over, forcing the umpires to call the match off. Australia's captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss in that game and chose to bowl first.

The last T20I between these two teams at the MCG was in 2016, when India put up 184.
