India vs Australia Highlights, 3rd T20I: No half-centuries needed for India as they make quick work of a 187-run chase in Hobart, winning with 5 wickets and 9 balls to spare to level the series at 1-1. Cameos from Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav started the chase off, before Tilak Varma stabilised through the middle. At the end, Washington Sundar hit four big sixes to score 49*(23), with Jitesh Sharma helping out on his reinclusion in the team....Read More
Australia finish on 186/6, a score India might be relatively happy with as they kept pegging the hosts back with regular wickets. Powerful innings from Tim David and Marcus Stoinis push the innings forward, but minimal contribution from elsewhere in the lineup means India have a big but achievable target on a good batting surface.
Tim David's powerful 74 off just 37 deliveries ensured the hosts mounted a strong counter-attack through the middle overs, but it was Shivam Dube who brought an end to his innings, thanks in no small part to Tilak Varma taking a good catch in the deep.
Early early wicket for India! Immediate impact from Arshdeep Singh as he is reincluded in the team. Deceives Travis Head into chasing a very wide one, which is comfortably taken for a wicket in the very first over.
India make three changes to their team after Suryakumar Yadav wins the toss and celebrates a reversal in fortune. Jitesh Sharma, Washington Sundar, and Arshdeep Singh come in, while the solitary change for Australia sees the departing Josh Hazlewood replaced by Sean Abbott.
Hobart on the island of Tasmania awaits the third T20I of the series between Australia and India, in a match that will likely not be the one that this Sunday is remembered for on the subcontinent, but one that nonetheless will have a substantial impact down the line. While most of the focus will be in Navi Mumbai as Harmanpreet Kaur and her team have a shot at World Cup glory, Suryakumar Yadav and co. will feel the need to focus on the job and hand and try to level this series at 1-1.
India vs Australia 3rd T20I playing XI
India playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah
Australia playing XI: Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wk), Tim David, Matt Short, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Owen, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Sean Abbott, Matthew Kuhnemann
For India, the question is if they need to play an extra seamer just to have a little support in that department. While many might see the batting as the concern after the horror showing in Melbourne, it is a question of general balance that India must answer. Does Arshdeep Singh get a look in, particularly on a ground that is known for its small dimensions and easy power-hitting environment? If so, who is the player that gets sacrificed?
The more interesting team selections might come down to Australia, who lose Josh Hazlewood but do gain plenty of x-factor and fire-power with the return of Glenn Maxwell. Australia will want to replace the firepower in their seam attack somehow, with Sean Abbott in line but also Mahli Beardman set for a potential debut. Mitchell Owen plies his trade at this venue in domestic cricket and the Big Bash, and might get the nod ahead of Matt Short based on that.
India vs Australia T20I head-to-head
India continue to dominate the format over the Australian team, with 20 wins compared to just 12 for the men from down under. However, Australia will have momentum and confidence after the crushing victory they managed at the MCG, and will like their odds of turning the tables during this match.
India vs Australia 3rd T20I key matchups
Mitchell Marsh vs Kuldeep Yadav: They faced off for 6 deliveries at the MCG. Mitchell Marsh plundered the leggie for 20 runs, but also lost his wicket to Kuldeep Yadav. How India’s spinner is able to recover from a bruising match despite two wickets will be important, and as will how he bowls to the in-form Marsh, who has the power to take any match away from any opponent in the world.
Suryakumar Yadav vs Nathan Ellis: In Josh Hazlewood’s absence, the responsibility falls on Nathan Ellis’ shoulders to be the lead bowler and Australia’s wicket-taker. He has a deceptive slower ball but has also shown a tendency to be a little scattergun. With Suryakumar Yadav hungry for runs but also a little susceptible, Ellis will be asked to bowl at him early on in thie piece, and how this battle goes could determine the match.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Jitesh wraps it up! Series is at 1-1, Washington stars with 49*
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Convincing victory just like India would have liked to see in this match! It is the lower order that stands up, makes the most of a quick start to return and complete the chase with 9 balls to spare.
Washi's 49*(23) shows excellent signs, but it will be the bowling unit that comes away very happy at having left the Aussies 15-20 short of par.
A good result for India as the series heads to Queensland level at 1-1.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: India one hit away now…
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: With the women's final starting, India are set to win this one. 5 needed with 2 overs to spare after Washington hammers a four down the ground.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: SIX MORE! 16 needed off 18
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: A couple of top edges in that over. One from Jitesh falls in no man's land, but Washington's off a full toss has enough of the meat behind it, carries with the wind, and finds six! India on their way.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Jitesh shows his value! Scoop works out now
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Better execution from Jitesh on the scoop! Already started with a four, now just walks across and scoops it to a vacant fine leg boundary.
Ellis has bowled out with 4 overs to spare. INdia will fancy their chances.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: 19 run over! Washi has made India the favourites!
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Sensational hitting! Another six, and ninetheen runs off that over! Suddenly, India only need 42 off 36 with Dube and Jitesh in the tank. You back them from here!
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Washington Sundar with quick boundaries!
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Promoted up to number six and enjoying himself at the moment! Already two sixes and two fours to get the score moving along at a good rate. Pace and spin alike heading to the boundary. Impressive hitting.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: ELLIS ON FIRE! Third wicket for him
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Wow, he is in some form today! Ellis rushes Axar with a bouncer this time, which he is incredibly late to get his bat up to. Loops up and Bartlett rushes in to take a great catch diving forward.
Washington Sundar is the next man in. Still no Dube.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Big shot from Tilak!
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Important shot, that. Can't let the spinners settle. Matt Short comes on against two lefties, but Tilak gets down and clears midwicket with a sweep. Important to keep the momentum going.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: SKY dismissed! Undone by Stoinis
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Surprising wicket! Stoinis creates a soft wicket out of nowhere. A slower ball does the trick this time, just sticks in the pitch a touch and SKY is too early through it. Chips it straight to cover.
He looked good for a very quick 24, but his innings is cut short.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Another for Ellis! Picks up Gill
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Ellis strikes again! He knows the Indian batters are sitting on his slower one today, so he sneaks past a really quick and straight one past Gill. Multiple times now in this series that Gill has been dismissed that way as he is caught LBW.
64/2 after the powerplay.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: SKY starts with a six!
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: What a hit! This is what SKY always wants early on in his innings. Gets inside the line and just helps it over the boundary. Two fielders out there, but he backs himself and clears them.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: GOT HIM! Abhishek dismissed again by Nathan Ellis
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: 3 out of 3 times now that Ellis has gotten Abhishek Sharma! It's a really good fast bouncer, well-directed, and Abhishek can only top edge it for a comfortable catch for Josh Inglis. Abhishek couldn't get it away in the last 6-7 balls, and he was rushed there looking for the big one.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: 17 off the over! Abhishek off to a flier
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: This guy is something special. The fearlessness combined with the clarity of thought. This is what the modern T20 batter looks like. Gets width and flays it over third, gets it overpitched on his legs and lofts it over leg for a towering six, then gets a nice half-volley on his off-stump which he drives sweetly past mid-off. India are off to a sensational start!
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Six in the very first over from Abhishek Sharma!
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: That's what he wants to do! Generates some room and then a full-blooded swing of the bat. Six over point, which you don't see too often, but such are the dimensions of this ground.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Australia finish on 186/6
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: The way Australia were batting, India will be happy with that. This score might just be slightly under par on this surface, which played true and doesn't have too much movement.
Arshdeep picks up a third wicket as Stoinis can't get enough behind a good low full toss. He and David take AUS to 186/6, but India happy that they kept them to that total. Back soon for the chase.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Good batting from Stoinis! Takes 14 off Arshdeep, reaches 50
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Lovely batting! Arshdeep bowls well to keep it outside Stoinis' arc, but he's ready for that. Just uses the pace and places the shots so well square on the off side. Not just brute force! Good half-century from him.
170/5 with 2 overs to play.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Rinku Singh nearly takes special catch, but just drops short
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Nearly a spectacular effort by Rinku Singh to send Marcus Stoinis packing! Good dive to get to one flat, but can't quite get his fingers underneath the ball, can the sub fielder. Stoinis looking good, and survives for now.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: DUVE STRIKES, DAVID DEPARTS!
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: It's an innocuous Shivam Dube wicket that could have a big impact! Tim Dacid was looking deadly, and after Stoinis had whacked two huge sixes off Dube earlier in the over, David perishes trying to be ultra aggressive! David tries to clear the boundary, doesn't quite get the connection he wanted. Very nicely taken by Tilak on the boundary line while running!
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: 103/4 after 12
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Tim David still going all guns blazing here, looking very difficult to stop. Marcus Stoinis getting set alongside him. 100 up at the end of the 12th over.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: TWO IN TWO FOR VARUN! Owen dismissed first ball
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Timber! Owen can't read it at all and that's too elaborate a shot to try first up when you can't pick it up. In all sorts of an awkward position, Owen is nowhere close to it. His stumps are knocked over, it's 73/4, and India back on top.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Important wicket for Varun! Marsh dismissed
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: He has been playing second fiddle, so not quite finding his rhythm. Looped up outside off by Varun, Marsh tries to drive, and just slices it to Tilak at long-off. Well judged and easily taken. Important to break that momentum a touch.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: 50 already for Tim David
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: He came in with India well on top but it has taken him no time to flip the script. Wow, has he found a home at number four or what. 23 balls for his 50, and Dube gets punished in a 15-run over.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Tim David unleashes! 6, 6 off Axar
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Massive! Plays his Big Bash cricket for the Hurricanes, and he knows this ground well. Overpitched from Axar, and he can easily smack it down the ground twice in the over for big maximums.
57/2 after 7 overs.
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Tim David put down! Washington the culprit
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: DROPPED! Can't afford that given how dangerous he is looking. Flayed, hit hard, but straight to Sundar at point. He can't get his hands behind it, and it slips through. Bumrah bemused!
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Fast start for Tim David! 3 fours and a six already
India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd T20I: Great counterattack from Tim David! Excellent record in the powerplay this year for Australia, and that continues. Flays three boundaries through the offside, then predicts the fuller one and tonks it over mid off for six. Good cricket!
