2nd T20I: Short Comes In As Australia Elect To Bowl First Against Unchanged India

By IANS News October 31, 2025 • 13:38 PM View: 469

Melbourne Cricket Ground: Matthew Short has come into Australia’s playing eleven as skipper Mitchell Marsh won the toss and elected to bowl first in the second T20I against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday.

Cricket Australia (CA) previously said public tickets for Friday’s game were officially sold out. A win for either of the two teams will give them a 1-0 lead in the five-match series, after rain washed out the opening game at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, just 9.4 overs after the game began.
