All of the best teams are attempting to adopt what England began under the direction of Eoin Morgan in their T20I setup. Before the T20 World Cup, Australian skipper Aaron Finch talked about being aggressive at the top to put pressure on the opposition right from the outset, echoing comments made by Indian captain Rohit Sharma about their desire to adapt to a new style of play in T20 International cricket.
The 35-year-old performed exactly as he wanted the team to play in the second T20I against India. Finch, who batted first, scored 31 runs off of just 15 deliveries, giving the middle order a strong foundation. Glenn Maxwell and Tim David, who were moved up in the order, were unable to really make a difference, but Matthew Wade was instrumental in helping the side reach 90 runs after eight overs. Given that players like David Warner, Mitch Marsh, and Marcus Stoinis weren't included in the starting lineup, that's a respectable total.
In the second T20I in Nagpur, Australia had a chance to win the series, but Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik both played crucial innings to keep the match alive. India won the second T20I of the series thanks to the hitman, who struck 46* off 20 deliveries while Finisher Karthik batted just two balls and got 10 runs. The bowlers, with the exception of Adam Zampa, appeared lifeless because, according to the experts in the commentary box, their line and length against Rohit Sharma were very ordinary.
Finch made various adjustments to the starting XI because the weather had a significant impact on how the game had developed. Josh Inglis was unexpectedly left out of the squad, while Nathan Ellis, who had three wickets in the first T20I, was also dropped.
