Will rain disrupt the ongoing T20I series between Australia and India again after the washout in Canberra? Check the latest weather forecast for Hobart, hosting the third T20I, on Sunday, 2 November.
India continues to trail Australia in the ongoing white-ball tour Down Under. The first T20I in Canberra was halted by persistent rain after India showed promising batting. However, the batting lineup collapsed in the second match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where India was all out for just 125 runs.
Without these performances, India might have failed to reach even 100 runs.
India fought back with the ball, but an explosive opening partnership during the powerplay between captain Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head set the stage for Australia’s successful chase.
The two teams meet again at Bellerive Oval in Hobart, Tasmania, this Sunday. Although it is not a must-win game for Suryakumar Yadav and his team, a second consecutive loss would put India in a difficult position in the series.
India will need a victory in this match to maintain their chances of winning the series.
The outcome in Hobart will be crucial for the Men in Blue's hopes in this T20I series.
Author’s summary: Hobart’s weather and India’s batting resilience will be key factors in the third T20I as both teams battle to keep the series alive.
