5 India have won the toss and will bowl but Matthew Wade will become the latest captain of Australia with plenty of changes coming in for Australia.
Aaron Finch is out, while Marcus Stoinis is back, Daniel Sams will debut and Andrew Tye will come in.
Australian side confirmed. Return of the Stoin. And Hazlewood has a sore back. Smith down to 6!

Justin Langer said Aaron Finch was close to playing in the game but fans were quick to praise Wade, even with Steve Smith overlooked for a return to the captaincy role.

Finch out of T20i injured. Wade to captain. Steve Smith bats on without extra responsibility. Good call!

India stay with the same side that won the first T20, except for the injured Ravindra Jadeja, with concussion sub Yuzvendra Chahal hanging onto his spot.
