IND vs AUS 3rd T20 Match Bellerive Oval Pitch-Weather Report: Will rain affect 3rd India vs Australia T20I in Hobart

IND vs AUS 3rd T20 Match at Bellerive Oval

Pitch and Weather Report for Hobart

Suryakumar Yadav’s India will face Mitchell Marsh’s Australia in the third match of the five-game T20I series at Bellerive Oval, Hobart, on Sunday. Australia leads the series 1-0 after winning the second T20I at Melbourne, while the first game in Canberra was washed out.

Pitch Conditions

Bellerive Oval is generally a good batting surface. Early in the innings, fast bowlers can exploit some seam movement, but as the ball loses its shine, batting will become easier. Fast bowlers who can bowl with intensity can extract some help from the pitch, while spinners are expected to have a limited impact.

Batting and Bowling Insights

India’s batting struggled in the second T20I when the pitch favored pace bowlers. Except for Abhishek Sharma, most Indian batsmen found it difficult to handle the bounce and pace. Defending a modest total of 125 runs, India’s bowlers were unable to make a significant impact.

Weather Forecast

Maximum temperature: 26°C
Minimum temperature: 13°C

“The conditions will offer some assistance to seamers early on, but batting will improve as the game progresses,” an expert noted.

India and Australia are expected to battle on a pitch that offers early seam movement but should ease out for batsmen as the match continues.

Author’s Summary

The Hobart pitch favors fast bowling early but will become easier for batsmen later, with mild weather likely not to disrupt the 3rd T20I between India and Australia.
