India's face-off against Australia in the critical third T20I of the five-match series will take place on Tuesday (November 28) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Men in Blue strive to retain their dominance for the series with another resounding win, having emerged triumphant over the Aussies in Visakhapatnam and Thiruvananthapuram.
Having posted a gigantic 235/4 in their 20 overs, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (53) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (58) and wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan (52) smashed valiant half-centuries before the Indian bowlers led by spin twins Ravi Bishnoi (3/32) and Axar Patel (1/25) crushed them under the weight of scoring rate and restricted the Aussies to 191/9.
The forthcoming clash in Guwahati is decisive for the Australians, who must win to keep the series alive or go down by an impregnable margin of 0-3 against the firing hosts led by Surykumar Yadav. Matthew Wade & company will have to overcome their all-around issues and pack a strong punch if they are to upstage India.
Barsapara Cricket Stadium Ground Stats
The track at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati is known for being a batters' paradise for the shortest format. The pitch plays slightly dry, but the rough patches are dampened by the heavy dew expected under lights at the onset of the Indian winter season.
Three previous T20Is have been scheduled at the venue, with an outright result possible in only two matches. The first game at the state-of-the-art facility back in October 2017 saw the Australians bundle out the star-studded Indian batting line-up for a paltry 118 all out in a handsome victory.
The second completed clash at the ground in October 2022 saw a proper humdinger between India and South Africa. After India plundered a massive 237/3 in their 20 overs, the Proteas fell short by only 16 runs after giving the hosts a serious scare with their lengthy batting line-up.
