TEAM OVERVIEW
Australia
Following a dominant display in the second T20I, Australia struggled to maintain their winning form in the third match, suffering a defeat by five wickets. Although they managed a respectable score of 186/6—bolstered by powerful half-centuries from Tim David and Marcus Stoinis, the bowlers were unable to protect that total. With the series finely balanced, captain Mitchell Marsh will aim to rally his team for a strong resurgence and regain momentum heading into the final match.
India
The Indian team made a remarkable comeback after their defeat at the MCG, achieving a fantastic win in Hobart. In pursuit of 187 runs, the visitors reached their goal comfortably in just 18.3 overs, thanks to an outstanding late surge from Washington Sundar, who scored an impressive 49 off 23 balls without getting out. Jitesh Sharma, stepping in for Sanju Samson, contributed significantly with 22 off 13, and Arshdeep Singh left his mark by taking crucial wickets in his first outing of the series. With their confidence restored, Suryakumar Yadav’s squad will seek to ride this wave of momentum.
