Will compete with India Australia In the third of the five-match T20I series. This article provides details about the playing 11 of Australia vs India for the third match of the series.
Australia Playing XI vs India – 3rd T20I, India tour of Australia 2025:
Openers: Mitchell Marsh (captain), Travis Head
Australia will be buoyed by the win in the second match of the five-match series against India and will look to repeat the same effort in all three departments of the game.
The home team managed to produce a complete performance in all three departments of the game, which was led by the bowlers.
Australian bowling, which was not in form in 9 inningsBowled .4 overs in the first game, corrected his mistakes and made full use of the overcast conditions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The batsmen carried forward the good work of the bowlers and finally completed their job after a little wobble.
The Australian team management would like the batting lineup to once again move forward and help the team score a better score while batting first, thereby increasing the team’s chances of winning the game.,
As always, the focus will be on the aggressive opening pair of Travis Head and captain Mitchell Marsh to get Australia off to a fast start, as they did in the previous game, and end any hopes of India winning.,
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Josh Inglis (wicketkeeper), Tim David, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Owen, Marcus Stoinis.
The middle-order, which had little to do in the last game as a significant percentage of the runs chasing the target were scored by the openers, will want to spend a little more time in the middle during the game in Hobart.
The batting lineup will be strengthened by the return of experienced all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who was not part of the team for the first two matches.
Maxwell’s inclusion adds flexibility to the batting lineup, which already has all its bases covered. With the addition of Maxwell, it will be interesting to see which batsman will sit out in the upcoming game.
The Australian team would like their top five batsmen to perform well with the bat and score a major portion of the team’s runs.
Bowlers: Xavier Bartlett, Mahali Beardman, Nathan Ellis, Matthew Kuhnman
Like the batting, the team’s bowling attack will also change, with Josh Hazlewood being rested for the remaining matches.
Mahali Beardman, a highly rated young fast bowler, is expected to make her debut in the third T20I and will replace Hazlewood in the bowling armoury.
Hazlewood’s absence will provide an opportunity for Nathan Ellis and Xavier Bartlett to put their hand up and take wickets in the first six overs.
As far as the spin bowling department is concerned, it will be looked after by Matthew Kuhnman, who will be the only specialist spinner in the lineup and will be entrusted with the responsibility of taking wickets in the middle overs.
