Hobart Weather Forecast: Impact on 3rd India vs Australia T20I at Bellerive Oval
Will rain interrupt the third T20I match between Australia and India, following the washout in Canberra? Here's the weather outlook for Hobart, where the game is scheduled for Sunday, 2 November.
Series Overview
India is again trailing behind Australia in the ongoing white-ball tour Down Under. After a solid batting start in the first T20I at Canberra, the game was abandoned due to rain. However, in the second match at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday, the Indian batting line collapsed, being bowled out for just 125 runs.
"Had it not been for Abhishek Sharma’s explosive 68 and Harshit Rana’s surprise cameo of 35, the visitors might have not have even made it past 100."
Although India mounted some resistance with the ball, the foundation for Australia's successful chase was laid by an explosive opening partnership between captain Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head during the powerplay.
Upcoming Match at Bellerive Oval
The two teams will face off again on Sunday at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, Tasmania. While it’s not an absolute must-win for India, a second successive defeat would severely hurt their chances of winning the series.
"The Men in Blue will need to win this contest if they are to keep their chances of winning the series alive."
Weather conditions will play a crucial role in the outcome of this encounter.
Summary: The third T20I at Hobart is a pivotal match for India, with weather uncertainties adding drama to their pursuit of keeping the series alive against Australia.
