AUS vs IND live match: Match summary 📖

India have finally got a victory in this T20I series as they secure the third game with a 5-wicket victory. Chasing a tricky target of 187 runs, the visitors lost their openers, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, early in the powerplay.

Despite captain Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma's departure, Washington Sundar shouldered the responsibility. He hit timely boundaries, muscled his power to hit massive sixes out of the park. His partnership with Jitesh Sharma brought down the required run rate and steered India to an important victory by 5 wickets margin in Hobart.

AUS vs IND scorecard: 3rd T20I match start time!

With the toss scheduled for at exactly 1:15 PM IST at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, the match is going to start exactly after 1:45 PM IST.

AUS vs IND live updates: Bellerive Oval Hobart pitch report 

With a historical advantage in chasing, Bellerive Oval in Hobart is generally a batting-friendly pitch. While seamers might get help from the bounce on the track early in the game, spinners are of very little assistance here. As the game progresses, the pitch flattens out more and batters can get more out of it with better connectivity of the ball and the bat. The toss-winning captain would like to bowl here first.

AUS vs IND scorecard: 3rd T20I toss time

Captains Suryakumar Yadav and Mitchell Marsh are likely to appear on the field exactly at 1:15 PM IST to begin the proceedings for the toss for the 3rd T20I at Hobart.

AUS vs IND live score update: Probable playing XI 

Australia

Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Philippe (wk), Nathan Ellis, Mahli Beardman, Xavier Bartlett, Matthew Kuhnemann

India

Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah

AUS vs IND live updates: Head-to-head overview in T20Is ⚔️

Australia and India have faced each other in 34 T20Is. India holds a clear advantage with 20 wins against Australia, while the latter managed only 12 wins. Two of these matches have ended in a no result.

AUS vs IND live score: Match Preview 📖

After Australia defeated India in the 2nd T20I of the five-match series, the third T20I is set to take place at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, on Sunday, November 2. The high-octane clash is all set to go live for fans from 1:45 PM IST.

Australia is clearly holding the edge after a dominating 2nd T20I performance against India. The Mitchell Marsh-led team will see Mahli Beardman debut in place of Josh Hazlewood in the 3rd T20I. 

The new face void, however, won't be much as the squad still carries significant experience with names like Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa and Matthew Kuhnemann in the bowling front. Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh will continue with the bat at the top as they would like another brutal show with the bat in the now four-match series.

India, after having a shaky batting display in the 2nd T20I, would like to bounce back with better performances from Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube and Tilak Varma. Arshdeep Singh's inclusion is likely in the squad after the failure of Harshit Rana, who gave away 27 runs from his 2 overs. With the series almost on the line, Suryakumar Yadav, the skipper, would also like to chip in largely to try and level the series.
