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

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

Pitch Report

The Bellerive Oval surface is generally considered a good batting wicket. Fast bowlers may find some movement early in the innings, but once the ball softens, batting tends to become easier. Pacers who can generate extra bounce might extract some help from the pitch, while spinners are expected to have a limited impact.

India’s Batting and Bowling Outlook

In the previous match, India’s batting lineup struggled on a seamer-friendly pitch. Abhishek Sharma was an exception, handling the bounce effectively, whereas the rest of the batters found it challenging. Defending a modest total of 125, India’s bowlers had little chance to make a strong impression.

Weather Forecast for Hobart

The weather in Hobart on Sunday is expected to be clear, reducing the possibility of a rain interruption. The maximum temperature is predicted to reach 26°C, while the minimum will likely be around 13°C.

“Bellerive Oval is a good batting deck, though fast bowlers may see some movement early on.”

Author’s Summary: The third IND vs AUS T20I in Hobart promises balanced conditions, offering seamers an early advantage before evolving into a batting-friendly encounter under clear skies.
