India (IND) will face Australia (AUS) in the third T20I of the five-match series at Bellerive Oval, Hobart, on Sunday. Australia currently leads the series 1-0 after winning the second match in Melbourne, while the first match was washed out at Canberra.
The pitch at Bellerive Oval is favorable for batting. Initially, fast bowlers may have some opportunity due to seam movement early in the innings. As the ball loses its shine, batting becomes easier. Fast bowlers who can generate pace and bounce might find some success, whereas spinners are expected to have a limited role.
The maximum temperature on Sunday is forecasted at 26°C, with a minimum of 13°C. Weather conditions are expected to be suitable for cricket, though rain could potentially influence the match.
The Indian team struggled in the second T20I when the pitch favored seamers, with most batsmen finding it challenging to handle pace and bounce, except for Abhishek Sharma. India managed to defend a low total of 125 runs.
This match's pitch favors a batting-friendly environment with some early seam movement, and weather conditions are generally stable with a chance of rain impacting gameplay.
