IND vs AUS 2nd T20I Melbourne Weather Forecast Update: Check rain alert for today's match

India and Australia will meet again in the second T20I on October 31 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, looking to finally get a proper game after rain spoiled the series opener in Canberra. The first match was reduced to 18 overs due to showers, but another downpour stopped play when India reached 97/1 in the 10th over, forcing the umpires to call the match off. Australia’s captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss in that game and chose to bowl first.
