India vs Australia Chance Winning
The Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian cricket team began the five-match T20 series against Australia with a two-wicket win at Visakhapatnam. It was a high-scoring thriller, with India taking the lead in the series.
India won the toss and opted to field first. They didn't let Australia get off to a flying start and removed Matt Short in the fifth over. But then Steve Smith and Josh Inglis put on a 130-run stand for the second wicket in just 11.1 overs before Smith was dismissed for 52.
Inglis was the star of the show as he blasted the joint fastest T20I century for Australia. He took on the Indian bowlers in the middle overs and provided the team much needed acceleration. Inglis ended with a fine 110 off 50 deliveries as Australia posted a strong 208/3.
Chasing a big target, India needed a rapid start but they lost both the openers in the first three overs. Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav then steadied the ship with a 112-run stand. Kishan struggled early in his innings but made up for it and struck 58 off 39.
Suryakumar Yadav, who had a torrid time in the fifty-over format, looked in glorious touch from the get go. He went on to smash 80 off just 42 deliveries to put India on top. Rinku Singh struck 22 in 14 balls at the back end to get the team over the line.
Talking about this game, the Indian team's confidence would be boosted after the last game and they walk into this game as slight favourites. The two teams' chances of winning the second T20I are as follows.
- India's chance of winning: 57%
- Australia’s chance of winning: 43%

Australia Recent Form
Australia came short in the opening game but they will take confidence from the batting unit, especially how Josh Inglis played. Their bowling attack was hammered apart from Jason Behrendorff. Adam Zampa’s return should strengthen them.

India to score over 48.5 runs in first six overs
India have some terrific batters in their top four such as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan. Jaiswal and Yadav, in particular, are fast starters. India scored 63 runs in the powerplay in the first game. Betting on them to score over 48.5 runs in the first six overs here would be justified.
