Third T20I continues Five-match series between Australia and India Will be played at Bellerive Oval, Hobart on Sunday. Australia is leading the series 1-0 after winning the second T20 match in Melbourne, while the first match was washed out due to rain.
India struggled in the second T20I at the MCG and could only manage 125 runs, with only Abhishek Sharma making a significant contribution (68 runs). Josh Hazlewood’s economical bowling played an important role in Australia’s victory. However, Hazlewood has been rested for the remaining T20Is ahead of the Ashes series, which could ease the pressure on the Indian batsmen. India would like to bounce back with a strong batting performance, especially from players like Shubman Gill And Tilak Verma.

bellerive oval pitch report
Bellerive Oval in Hobart offers a balanced pitch for the third T20I between Australia and India. It is primarily a good batting surface, but the initial grass cover will provide seam movement for the fast bowlers initially. As the ball loses its shine, batting becomes easier, which helps in playing strokes later on.
The spinners are expected to have limited impact; A pace attack able to exploit bounce and seams will be more important. Dew is a major factor for the second innings, which will help the team chasing the target.
Historically, the first innings score averages 150-155. Given the early seams and the possibility of dew later, winning the toss and bowling first could be an important strategic move. The relatively short boundaries encourage aggression, although the nearby sea breeze can provide swing assistance to the bowlers. Both teams will have to adapt quickly to this competitive match.
