India vs Australia LIVE Score 2nd T20 at Melbourne: The ongoing T20I series between India and Australia could witness another washout as the teams face off in the second match at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday (31 October). The five-match series started with a washout at Canberra as the first T20I was abandoned after multiple rain breaks.
India were on 97/1 after being asked to bat first when the match at the Mauka Oval was called off. After regaining his form with 39 not out off 24 balls in the opener, Suryakumar Yadav would hope to continue the good form and help the Men In Blue to take a 1-0 lead in the second match.
