LIVE UPDATES | India vs Australia, 2nd T20I: Arshdeep has been in the sidelines and has not been complaining, but again, will the management not give him a game. He was not there in the XI at Canberra, will he find a spot in the XI today? 

LIVE UPDATES | India vs Australia, 2nd T20I: With chances of rain there, the team winning the toss would ideally like to bowl first and bat second. Interesting to see what happens at the toss. 

LIVE UPDATES | India vs Australia, 2nd T20I: Yes, as harsh as it may sound after what happened at Canberra - rain could intervene on Friday at the MCG. It did rain yesterday and that is not a very good sign. 

LIVE UPDATES | India vs Australia, 2nd T20I: It would be interesting to see if the men can do what the women in blue did last night at the Navi Mumbai stadium on Thursday.
