New Delhi:

After sending Stoinis and Finch back to the pavilion, Australia hasn't looked back. Both Glenn Maxwell and D Arcy Short have hammered Indian bowlers all around the ground. After 11 overs, its 95 for the loss of 2 wickets. LIVE SCORECARD

India started the inning on a quiet note, but one will have to say, Virat Kohli, along with MS Dhoni played some scintillating shots around the ground to take India's total to 190. The par score on this wicket is 180, with Men In Blue having 10 runs more; this remains to be seen if bowlers manage to restrict Australia to less.

The two most reliable players are yet again showing why they have given that tag. Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni shift the momentum to India's favour. After 15 overs, India is 113 for 3 wickets. With 5 overs still remaining, the game can shape anywhere. Nathan Coulter-Nile continues his fine run against India. Picks first for the night. Sends KL Rahul back to the pavilion. It was short of a length delivery, KL Rahul tried to guide it over the third man, but went straight into the hands of Jhye Richardson.

Though India hasn't lost a wicket, it wouldn't be wrong to say that Australia is currently ahead in the game. One one hand, when KL Rahul is trying to rotate the strike, Shikhar Dhawan is finding difficult to meet the ball into the middle of his bat. After first 5 overs, its 39 for no loss. Australia skipper Aaron Finch wins the toss and opts to bowl first. Australia is going with the same winning eleven, however, India, one the other hand, made three changes. Shikhar Dhawan replaces Rohit Sharma for the opening slot, Umesh Yadav makes way for Siddharth Kaul, and Vijay Shankar comes in for Mayank Markande.

India and Australia will lock horns in the second and final T20 International on Wednesday at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. While the visitors winning the series opener was, to an extent, unexpected, India’s collapse with the bat led to their undoing in Vizag. Australia, despite winning, has more issues to address and it goes without saying that it is with their batting. Interestingly, it will also be India's last T20 assignment before the forthcoming World Cup.

The Men in Yellow would rather love to script their maiden T20I series win in India on the back of strong performance with a willow. The ball travels in Bengaluru usually turns out to be high scoring encounter. Having said that, the nature of the 22 yards has changed drastically over the last 12-18 months.

So, that's it from us. We hope you liked our coverage. Hope to see you all on March 2 for the first of five-match ODI series. For other updates, follow our website: newsnation.in 

Now, Aaron Finch is joined with the other players as they clinched T20 series comprehensively. Smiles all around the Australian camp.

The man-of-the-match and series are awarded to Glenn Maxwell for his outstanding run in two games. He scored 169 runs in two games. 

Maxwell's innings was the difference between two sides. He smashed 113 runs off just 55 balls. His innings was laced with seven boundaries and 9 mighty sixes. 

FOUR slapped wide of mid-off and there's the big roar from the Big Show. What a win for Australia. They win the series 2-0. It was a short ball from Kaul, Maxwell backed away and smashed it for four. Australia creates HISTORY!

Australia is just two hits away now. 

MAXWELL brings up his third T20I 100. What an innings. What a player.

Maxwell and Handscomb scripting history for Australia. Just 22 more needed. 

Another SIX for Maxwell! Makes the tally go to SEVEN.

44 required of last 4 overs. 11 runs per over.

Glenn Maxwell is shaping another superlative victory for Australia. He has already scored 75 runs and looking for even more. If India wishes to stay in this game, they need Glenn Maxwell's wicket. After 16 overs, its 147 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. 

70 runs required off last 6 overs. Tension. Tension. Tension. 

Glenn Maxwell ticks one down to leg and brings up his seventh T20 International fifty. 

Glenn Maxwell is just one run away to score his seventh T20 fifty. 

Vijay Shankar picks his second wicket of the night, sending D Arcy Short back to the hut. 

After sending Stoinis and Finch back to the pavilion, Australia hasn't looked back. Both Glenn Maxwell and D Arcy Short have hammered Indian bowlers all around the ground. After 11 overs, its 95 for the loss of 2 wickets. 

The partnership between D Arcy Short and Glenn Maxwell is 43 already. The duo is looking really solid. Virat has introduced spin from both ends. 

Australia is almost in the same situation as they were in the last game, lost Stoinis and Aaron Finch, but in-form Maxwell and D Arcy Short are still on the crease. From India's point of view, one more wicket will make Australia at the sea but will that happen? After first 5 overs, its 31 for 2. 

SECOND WICKET! Vijay Shankar bowls a short of a length delivery, and Aaron Finch tried to go over the 30-yard circle, however, it went straight up in the air, and Shikhar Dhawan didn't do any mistake. 

First WICKET! Marcus Stoinis departs for 7 runs. Siddharth Kaul bowled a dream delivery, and one will have to say, Stoinis was all over the place. 

13 runs for no loss after first two overs. Just four runs of Bumrah's first over. How important will be his overs going ahead in this game? 

Bumrah is just two wickets away to become the highest wicket-taker for India in T20I. Will it happen today?

Australia starts the innings with two boundaries in the first over. Was it a mistake to start with Vijay Shankar? 

D Arcy Short and Marcus Stoinis will start the innings for Australia. Surprisingly, Vijay Shankar will start the proceedings for India. 

The players are out in the middle. Australia is ready for the chase. But will they make history? Join us here.

Will India be able to make it 1-1? Catch the second innings updates in a few minutes. 

India started the inning on a quiet note, but one will have to say, Virat Kohli, along with MS Dhoni played some scintillating shots around the ground to take India's total to 190. The par score on this wicket is 180, with Men In Blue having 10 runs more; this remains to be seen if bowlers manage to restrict Australia to less. 

MILESTONE ALERT: Most T20 International 50 - VIRAT KOHLI!

50 up for skipper Kohli. His 20th fifty in this format. 

The two most reliable players are yet again showing why they have given that tag. Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni shift the momentum to India's favour. After 15 overs, India is 113 for 3 wickets. With 5 overs still remaining, the game can shape anywhere. 

Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni are trying to get India innings back on track. 

Rishabh Pant tried to come down the track and paid price. He mistimes the shot and Jhyde Richardson didn't make any mistake. Australia team has surely come with a plan. 

After first 10 overs, Australia is right on top sending both the openers back to the pavilion. It will be interesting to see how India reacts to this situation. Just 73 runs after first 10.

Shikhar Dhawan's nightmare innings comes to rest. Departs for 14.  The third umpire went with on-field umpire's decision. 

Nathan Coulter-Nile continues his fine run against India. Picks first for the night. Sends KL Rahul back to the pavilion. It was short of a length delivery, KL Rahul tried to guide it over the third man, but went straight into the hands of Jhye Richardson.

Four sixes already for KL Rahul. He is looking in some serious form. Just 9 runs away from consecutive fifties in the series. Will he get there? 

Though India hasn't lost a wicket, it wouldn't be wrong to say that Australia is currently ahead in the game. One one hand, when KL Rahul is trying to rotate the strike, Shikhar Dhawan is finding difficult to meet the ball into the middle of his bat. After first 5 overs, its 39 for no loss.

Looks like a pretty good wicket to bat on. Little nip off the surface but the ball is coming nicely on to the bat and should hold true for the rest of the game as well. Nice even bounce as well. Remember, setting a target at Bengaluru has always been tough.

As in the last game, India has started the innings on a quiet note. After the first over, it's 3 for no loss India. 

The players are out in the middle. Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul open for India, and Aaron Finch has gone to his favourite aide Jason Behrendorff to start. 

Australia has won both the tosses in this series, win they win the game too? Or India will bounce back? JUST 15 MINUTES away for the second and final game. 

MILESTONE ALERT: Shikhar Dhawan will be featuring in his 50th T20I in the series opener.

TOSS: Australia skipper Aaron Finch wins the toss and opts to bowl first. Australia will go with the same winning eleven. For India, Shikhar replaces Rohit, Vijay Shankar comes in for Mayank Markande, and Siddharth Kaul in for Umesh Yadav. 

The two captains are out in the middle, and they have been joined with Murali Karthik. Virat has the coin, AND....! 

The TOSS is just three minutes away, and knowing the pitch, the team which wins the toss will look to bowl first as any total on Chinnaswamy looks within the range for any team as the ball travels in Bengaluru and usually turns out to be a high scoring encounter. 

The last three T20 series between India and Australia have ended with a scoreline of 1-1. Can India make the tally go to four? 

Interestingly, if Rohit Sharma features in today’s game, he will complete 300 appearances in the Twenty20 format. However, this remains to be seen, if India plays Shikhar ahead of Rohit. 

The men-in-yellow will miss the services of Kane Richardson, who has been ruled out of the remainder of the series due to an ankle injury. With this, It will be interesting to see if Australia manages to clinch their first T20 series in India. 

Hello and Welcome to the second and final T20 International between India and Australia from M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. While the visitors winning the series opener was, to an extent, unexpected, India’s collapse with the bat led to their undoing in Vizag. Australia, despite winning, has more issues to address and it goes without saying that it is with their batting.
