The third T20 International between India and Australia is set to take place on Sunday, 2 November, at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, Tasmania. Fans are keen to know whether the weather will cooperate or if rain will once again disrupt play after the earlier washout in Canberra.
India are once again chasing momentum in their white-ball tour of Australia. After an impressive batting performance in the Canberra opener, continuous rain prevented a result. In the second T20I at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, however, their batting lineup struggled and fell for just 125 runs.
The rest of the batting side failed to build on these starts, leaving India on the back foot early. Despite a brief resurgence with the ball, Australia’s openers sealed the game quickly.
“All it took was one explosive opening partnership between captain Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head in the powerplay to lay the foundation for a successful chase.”
The dominant start from the Australian top order left the Indian attack without answers and ensured a comfortable victory for the hosts.
As both teams prepare for the clash in Hobart, the forecast remains a key talking point. While it is not a must-win game yet for Suryakumar Yadav’s side, a loss would make their path to winning the series considerably tougher. India must regroup quickly and deliver under pressure if they hope to level the contest.
Weather could again play a decisive role as India face Australia in Hobart, aiming to recover from a poor batting display and stay alive in the T20I series.
