India vs Australia Cricket Match LIVE: India aim for a 2-0 lead, Australia eye to level series.© AFP
India vs Australia, 2nd T20I Live Updates: The young Indian bowling unit will have to push behind the timid show in the series opener and find its flow against a forceful Australian batting line-up in the second T20I at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday. India had won the first game at Visakhapatnam by two wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series, but their bowlers, except pacer Mukesh Kumar, looked incapable of stemming the run-flow. The pitch and conditions at the Greenfield International Stadium will not be massively different, and that makes it imperative for the Indian bowlers to fire collectively. (LIVE SCORECARD)

After his wicket, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan took the attack to the bowlers and never let the required run rate shoot. Tilak Varma played a fine cameo but it was Rinku Singh who powered the Indians to a win taking the lead in this series. There were some incidents related to communication by the batters and that will be a topic of discussion in the dressing room.
