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].
Tilak Varma Comes To The Crease
Marsh found it tough to get going, but David, batting at number four, unleashed pure power, striking the ball with incredible timing and force. Staying leg-side from the start, he punished every delivery—one colossal 129m shot nearly soared over the Ninja Stadium sign.
Arshdeep Singh delivers a low full-toss outside off stump, and Stoinis smartly opens the face of his bat to slice it past backward point. The ball rockets off the bat and speeds to the boundary in no time.

While everyone is buzzing about the upcoming India vs Australia T20 clash, a cryptic Instagram story from the talented Arshdeep Singh has stolen the spotlight. The mysterious post has left fans curious and speculating about what the pacer meant, adding an unexpected twist ahead of the big game.
Looking at Abhishek Sharma’s recent form, it’s safe to say he’s been India’s brightest spark in an otherwise shaky batting lineup. Fresh off a superb Asia Cup and a sizzling 68 in the second T20I, he’s clearly seeing the ball better than most of his teammates. But let’s be honest, Abhishek can’t pull off miracles every game.
If India want to level the series, others need to rise to the occasion. Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma must chip in with runs at the top. Because while Abhishek might be the man in form, he can’t win the series alone.
Australia might miss Josh Hazlewood, but don’t feel too bad for them! The comeback of Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa adds instant spark, one brings the fireworks, the other the spin web. Looks like the Aussies are ready to turn up the heat again!
India are expected to make multiple changes for this crucial game.
Kuldeep Yadav could be replaced by Washington Sundar to strengthen the batting lineup.
Arshdeep Singh is likely to return, possibly taking Harshit Rana’s place.
Jitesh Sharma might get a look-in after Sanju Samson missed another golden opportunity in the previous outing
Hobart loves keeping fans guessing, one day it’s raining sixes, the next it’s a bowlers’ paradise! The venue has a split personality: matches played here in January and February have seen batters feast with an average first-innings total of 190. But come October and November, the story flips, the average score drops to just 148. So, will tonight’s clash be a high-scoring thriller or a low-scoring scrap for survival?
Buckle up, Hobart might just decide to play mind games with both batters and bowlers!
Jasprit Bumrah on the Brink of History!
Can he make it 100? Bumrah is just two wickets away from joining the elite club of T20I centurions with the ball. So far, only Arshdeep Singh (101) has managed to reach the landmark for India.
Sanju Samson Closing In on a Milestone!
All eyes on Samson as he needs just five more runs to become the 12th Indian batter to notch up 1,000 T20I runs. Will today be the day?
