Rohit and Suryakumar Yadav did not let the asking rate creep up, and the duo kept on registering boundaries at regular intervals, keeping India ahead. Both batters ensured that India does not suffer from more hiccups, and with the side 26-run away from the target, Rohit decided to retire hurt after playing a knock of 60.

Toss Report
🚨 Toss Update 🚨
Australia have elected to bat against #TeamIndia. #INDvAUS #T20WorldCup pic.twitter.com/iJ3rvtHRoD
— BCCI (@BCCI) October 20, 2021
Australia captain Aaron Finch won the toss and opted to bat first against Team India in their 2nd warm-up match here at the ICC Academy Ground, Dubai on Wednesday. Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami are taking rest today while for Australia Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Swepson and Josh Inglis will not feature in today’s game.
Both Team Captains at the toss
Rohit Sharma – Kohli, Bumrah and Shami are resting today. We wanted to bat first as well, just wanted to try and get runs on the board. We want to make sure that we get the 6th bowling option, some options in the batting order as well, we’ll try all those things today. Hardik is coming along pretty well, but it’ll be a while before he will start to bowl. He hasn’t started bowling, but he should be ready by the start of the tournament. We have quality in the main bowlers, but you need an option for a 6th bowler.
Aaron Finch – We will bat first. Batted second in the last game, so looking to change things up a bit. It’s going very well at the moment. Josh Hazlewood is the only one who’ll not take the field today. Mitchell Swepson and Josh Inglis aren’t playing as well.
Sides for today’s match
India (11 batting, 11 fielding): KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma(c), Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Rahul Chahar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shardul Thakur, Varun Chakaravarthy
