THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India, Nov 26, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Australia skipper
Matthew Wade won the toss and elected to field against India Sunday as they
look to level the series in the second Twenty20 international.
The tourists, who lost the first of the five-match series four days after
being crowned champions of the ODI World Cup, have made two changes in
Thiruvananthapuram.
World Cup heroes including leg-spinner Adam Zampa and all-rounder Glenn
Maxwell return to the team in place of Jason Behrendorff and Aaron Hardie.
India come in unchanged from their thrilling two-wicket win last week under
captain Suryakumar Yadav.
Suryakumar and Ishan Kishan are the only two Indian players from their ODI
World Cup team, which went into the final undefeated only to lose by six
wickets in Ahmedabad.
