IND Vs AUS Live Cricket Score and Updates, India vs Australia 3rd T20I Scorecard LIVE: India faced a sad defeat in the second T20I match at the MCG, though the effort of 68 runs by Abhishek Sharma was heroic, the total of the whole team was only 125 runs. The runs for Australia went with the loss of four wickets, making the batting weaknesses of India clear. Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, and Shubman Gill are under a cloud and their form will continue to be a concern as the series progresses. The top order of India needs to get back its rhythm and provide the bat with such consistent performances that it will not be out of the race. The MCG match has also raised the issue of team combination. Many believe that after the middle order collapse, India should make their batting deeper by possibly bringing in Washington Sundar in place of Kuldeep Yadav. Harshit Rana, who made 35 runs with the bat, was really expensive as he gave away 27 runs in two overs; this may lead to Arshdeep Singh being considered for the third T20I. On the other hand, Australia is going to introduce a few alterations in their lineup. Josh Hazlewood, who performed wonderfully during the match and was awarded the Player of the Match, has been released to prepare for the Ashes while Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa are going to be the returning ones which means the team will have the benefit of experience and balance. Match starts from 1:45 PM IST, toss at 1:15 PM IST.
India leads in Ninja Stadium, Hobart
The Bellerive Oval Pitch for the 3rd T20I between India and Australia is expected to be a batting surface, but with good bounce and pace. If we look at past records, the Bellerive Oval favors batters due to its flat surface and fast outfield. Spinners will come into action as the game progresses and the pitch gets slower.

Abbott to Jitesh Sharma, FOUR! A beautifully timed cover drive, leaving Washi just short of his fifty. Full and wide outside off, Jitesh leans forward and lofts it elegantly over the infield. Perhaps unaware only three runs were needed, he looks back only to realize the match has already been won.
Axar Patel departs after scoring 17 runs
Stoinis to Suryakumar Yadav, out! Caught by Nathan Ellis! SKY can’t believe it, he chips it straight to cover and walks off in disbelief. He looked well set, but Stoinis outsmarted him with a slower ball that gripped and bounced a bit extra. Trying to drive through cover, SKY hit it high on the bat and straight into Ellis’s hands. Suryakumar Yadav c Nathan Ellis b Stoinis 24(11) [4s-1, 6s-2].
