Hobart Weather Forecast: Will Rain Affect 3rd India vs Australia T20I at Bellerive Oval?
Will rain disrupt the ongoing T20I series between Australia and India again after the Canberra washout? Check the weather forecast for Hobart, hosting the third T20I on Sunday, 2 November.
Series Overview
India is still trying to catch up with Australia in the white-ball series Down Under. The opening game in Canberra saw a strong batting effort before heavy rain stopped play. However, in the second match at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday, the Indian batting lineup collapsed, getting all out for just 125 runs.
"Had it not been for Abhishek Sharma’s explosive 68 and Harshit Rana’s surprise cameo of 35, the visitors might not have even made it past 100."
India fought back with their bowling later, but a powerful opening partnership between captain Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head during the powerplay secured Australia’s successful chase.
Next Match Outlook
The teams face off again on Sunday at Bellerive Oval in Hobart, Tasmania. Though India is not in a must-win scenario yet, losing again will seriously hurt their chances of taking the series. Suryakumar Yadav and his teammates need this victory to remain competitive.
