IND vs AUS Dream 11 Prediction: The stage is set for another nail biting finish as the hosts India take on the World Champions Australia in the second T20I of the three match series at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on 23 September, 2022 (Friday).The Indian team has evidently failed to address the death bowling problem as they leaked 55 runs in the last 4 overs in the first T20I, a problem which was also visible during the recently concluded Asia Cup. However, the Indian team death bowling will be boosted by the return of death bowling maestro, Jasprit Bumrah. On the other hand, Aussies seem quite composed and settled after their win in the last game but if they need to be critical about something it would be their death bowling.

Moving from the North, the match is scheduled to be played in the Western part of the country which consists of the red soil. Hence, the wicket is expected to assist the spinners more than it did during the game in Mohali. However, there could be a spell of rain shower in Nagpur. The dew factor might just come into play as the humidity is expected to be around 78 percent. The par score shall be somewhere around 150-160 if the dew does not have much of a role.

Adam Zampa is a much respected bowler in the white ball version of the game. With the Nagpur wicket offering some turn and bounce for the leggie, he might just prove to be a vital cog for the Kangaroos.
Pat Cummins Stats in T20I
Pat Cummins has been crucial for Australia with the new ball but at the international level, is yet to replicate the heroics he usually displays with the bat during the IPL. He will have another opportunity to make a statement and prove himself.
According to the India vs Australia today match prediction, India are the favourites to win this match.
