In Yesterday's Match, India beat Australia by 44 runs in the 2nd T20I match at the Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.
The Australian cricket team, led by captain Matthew Wade, won the toss and elected to field first in a thrilling T20I match against India. The Indian opening duo, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, set the stage on fire, putting together an impressive 77 runs for the first wicket. Jaiswal was particularly explosive, smashing 53 runs off just 25 deliveries before heading back to the pavilion.

After Jaiswal's departure, Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad kept the momentum going. The pair contributed 87 runs to the scoreboard, with both players notching up their respective half-centuries. Rinku Singh turned the heat up in the final overs, making a quick-fire 31 off merely nine balls, catapulting India to a formidable total of 235 runs in their stipulated 20 overs allotment.
Australia commenced their chase aggressively but suffered an early setback, losing their first wicket in the third over. Indian spinner, Ravi Bishnoi, then played a key role in stemming the Australian run flow with his threatening spin bowling. The Aussies found themselves in a precarious situation, reeling at 58 for 4 in the eighth over. However, Marcus Stoinis and Tim David attempted a rescue mission, stitching together an 81-run partnership for the fifth wicket. The partnership was broken by Bishnoi who claimed David's wicket, delivering a significant blow to the Australian chase.
Despite their best efforts, Australia could only muster 191 for 9 in their 20 overs, falling short by 44 runs. India emerged victorious, with Ravi Bishnoi and Prasidh Krishna each claiming three wickets. The win gives India a 2-0 lead in the series.
With the victory, India have now taken a 2-0 lead in the series. The Indian team will be looking to secure the series when they face Australia in the third T20I on Tuesday, November 28, in Guwahati.
