Hobart Weather Forecast: Will Rain Affect 3rd India vs Australia T20I at Bellerive Oval?
Will rain disrupt the T20I series between Australia and India again after the Canberra match was abandoned? Check the weather forecast for Hobart, the venue for the third T20I on Sunday, 2 November.
Match Overview
India is trailing Australia once more in the ongoing white-ball tour Down Under. The opening T20I in Canberra saw a strong batting effort from India before heavy rain forced the game to be called off. However, in the second game at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday, India’s batting lineup collapsed under pressure, managing only 125 runs.
Key Performances
- Abhishek Sharma contributed a powerful 68 runs.
- Harshit Rana added a surprising 35 runs in a cameo.
Without their efforts, India might have failed to score even 100 runs. The team showed some fight with the ball, but the opening partnership between Australia’s captain Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head during the powerplay set a strong pace for Australia’s successful chase.
Upcoming Match Prospects
The third T20I will take place at Bellerive Oval in Hobart, Tasmania on Sunday. Although India faces pressure after a second consecutive loss, it is not yet a series-defining defeat. Suryakumar Yadav and his team need a win in this match to maintain their hopes of claiming the series.
"It’s not quite a must-win situation yet for Suryakumar Yadav and company given a second consecutive defeat will not necessarily translate to another series loss."
