The T20 schedule is so tight that there is barely any time to reflect or analyse the previous match. India were in the box seat to level the series in Melbourne after a superb display by the bowlers, but persistent rain meant they headed to Sydney still one-nil down in the series. India have won seven consecutive T20 series and while they cannot make it eight, they will be desperate to ensure the tour Down Under doesn't begin with a loss in the T20 series.

Umesh Yadav in playing XI?
The short turnaround and with Indian batsmen having only batted once, it is unlikely the team will make any drastic changes for today's decider at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). However, given the fast bowling workload management factor there is a possibility that either Jasprit Bumrah or Bhuvneshwar Kumar will make way for Umesh Yadav.
