The third T20I between India and Australia will take place at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Sunday. Suryakumar Yadav leads India, while Mitchell Marsh captains Australia. The hosts are leading the series 1-0 after winning the second T20 in Melbourne; the first match at Canberra was washed out.
Bellerive Oval offers a good batting surface. Early in the innings, fast bowlers may find some seam movement, but as the ball loses shine, batting tends to become easier. Fast bowlers who can bowl with pace are likely to benefit, while spinners are expected to have a limited impact.
In the second T20I, India’s batting struggled on a pitch favoring seamers, with Abhishek Sharma being the notable exception. Defending a low total of 125 runs, India’s bowlers could not make a significant impact.
