India vs Australia 2nd T20I: match preview 

After going down 2-0 at the SCG in the ODI series, the Indian team have come back strong with back-to-back wins in Canberra. While the SCG has not proved to be the luckiest of venues for the Indian side in the ODIs, the team will hope for a change in fortunes on Sunday and ride high on their string of wins. The team will be missing prime all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja for the remainder of the series and have added Shardul Thakur to replace him, but his explosive batting chops will be missed thoroughly by the team. 

Meanwhile, the hosts will be hoping to brush off their loss in the 1st T20I and go back to winning ways at the SCG. They are also expected to add some firepower to the top of their batting order, especially if in-form captain, Aaron Finch has to miss out due to potential injury. Mostly, no big changes are expected from the Aussies who will just look to stick to their plans and click as a unit to level the series at 1-1.

India vs Australia pitch report and Sydney weather forecast

As the India vs Australia series action returns to Sydney, we can expect the pitch at the Sydney Cricket Ground to behave similarly to the ODIs. The average score for T20I games at the venue has around the 140 mark over the last couple of years, with 75% of teams winning while chasing.

However, this has not been the case at both ODI games played at the venue in this series, making the winning captain's decision on Sunday a tough one. The surface at the SGC proved to be a great batting surface over the course of the two ODIs. Both pacers and spinners will get a considerable amount from the pitch. Accuweather predicts a bright and sunny day in Sydney tomorrow, with no rain expected.
