The 2nd T20 match was played between India and Australia in Melbourne on Friday (31 December).
Where Australian captain Michael Marsh won the toss and invited the Indian team to bat first.
In this match, players of both countries entered the field by tying a black band.
In fact, both countries did this to pay tribute to 17-year-old cricketer Ben Austin.
On Thursday, Austin died after hitting a ball in Melbourne while training with an automatic ball.
At the same time, even before the start of the Melbourne T20 match, cricketers and spectators of both countries also paid tribute to him.
Earlier on 30th October too, the Indian women's cricket team and the Australian team entered the World Cup semi-final with a black band.
