Here is Australia Predicted XI for 2nd T20I:
1. D’Arcy Short:
The stylish southpaw missed out to deliver the goods for Australia in 1st T20I of the game. However, he might get one more chance to show his mettle for the side. The youngster has got required ingredients in him to take away the game from the opposition on his day. The team management would hope him deliver this time.
2. Aaron Finch:
The skipper of Australia is the certain candidate to make into the playing XI. The swashbuckling batsman played quite unlike to him at The Gabba, but one can expect him to wield his willow wild at the MCG. The right-handed batsman is a world-class player and especially, in his most-suited format, you can expect a big knock around the corner.
3. Chris Lynn:
Lynn showed his power on the other night in Brisbane. He instantly changed the course of the game with his stunning striking which left Virat Kohli short of his plans. Lynn smoked four big sixes in his 20-ball stay at the crease and gave a perfect platform for the rest of the batsmen. This time, he would eye for a big knock.

4. Glenn Maxwell:
It seems like Maxwell got his nick when it mattered the most. The swashbuckling batsman was on a song in Brisbane. He took the Indian bowlers to the cleaners by knocking the runs at a great pace for his side. Besides his batting, Maxwell is an exceptional fielder and also can be used as a part-time spinner as well.

5. Marcus Stoinis:
Perhaps, the people’s Man of the Match (if kept) goes to Marcus Stoinis on the other night. First, he made the things look easy with his fine batting display and then delivered the goods with the ball as well. The youngster would once again play the key role in making a difference between both the sides.

6. Ben McDermott:
The right-handed batsman hasn’t got the great exposure yet. But, the youngster has got all the required ingredients to make the things happen for Australia. He will be taking the finisher role for the team.
7. Alex Carey:
The wicketkeeper-batsman, Alex Carey is unfortunate to play at very low down the order. He has been pretty exceptional in the domestic circuit and delivered in ODI format as the well. Mostly, Carey would get fewer balls to knock it for his side. As far as wicketkeeping is concerned, he is pretty decent at it.
8. Andrew Tye:
Yes, he will be a certain starter. Though he was taken to cleaners by Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant, he is always a great prospect for Australia. He has got the incredible skills to get the better off any batsman on his day.
9. Adam Zampa:
Obviously, Adam Zampa will take the field at the MCG for the 2nd T20I. The youngster had received the man of the match performance in Brisbane for bagging crucial wickets of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.

10. Billy Stanlake:
The lanky fast bowler is another certain starter in the game. The right-handed fast bowler can be fearsome on his day and can extract the bounce with his height. Indians found it bit tough in tackling him, which certainly make him stay in the XI.
11. Nathan Coulter-Nile:
Unfortunately, Jason Behrendorff might miss the game at MCG. He has gone for 43 runs in his four overs in Brisbane and especially when you have got a world-class bowler like Nathan making his way out, those figures would never help him in staying on playing XI list. Unless any strategy, mostly, Jason will make way for Nathan.
