Guwahati, Oct 9:
Overwhelmingly dominant so far, India would be aiming to wrap up another series win when they take on a faltering Australia in the second Twenty20 International here tomorrow.
The ACA-Barsapara Stadium will be making its international debut with tomorrow’s match, adding to the growing list of cricket venues in the country.
The India-Australia limited-overs series so far has been a one-sided a contest as Virat Kohli and Co. Effortlessly grabbed the ODI rubber 4-1.
Extending the domination in the three-match T20I series, India routed Australia by nine wickets in the rain-hit opening match two days back in Ranchi to take a 1-0 lead.
Their T20I rivalry is lopsided as India have won 10 and lost four out of the 14 matches played. The hosts have won seven matches in a row, and they have not lost to Australia in T20Is since September 28, 2012.
The visitors will have to play out of their skins to arrest the slide and level the series ahead of the last T20I in Hyderabad on October 13.
