IND vs AUS Key battles:

Abhishek Sharma vs Nathan Ellis

Abhishek Sharma, who was the lone warrior in the previous match with an attacking half-century, would want to keep up the good work and hope for other batters to give him support.

Abhishek will have to tackle the bowling of Nathan Ellis, who will take the new ball for Australia.

Shubman Gill vs Xavier Bartlett

Shubman Gill would be itching to get going after getting out without making a significant contribution in the second T20I.

Gill will go head-to-head against Xavier Bartlett, who will partner Ellis in the first six overs, and would wish to pick up the wicket of Gill.

Mitchell Marsh vs Jasprit Bumrah

Australian captain, Mitchell Marsh, who got the team off to a roaring start in the last match, would want to have a good outing with the bat in the third game as well

Marsh will be up against Jasprit Bumrah, who picked up a couple of wickets at the backend of the match and would want to add to his tally of wickets.

Tim David vs Varun Chakaravarthy

Tim David, who was foxed by Varun Chakaravarthy in the second game of the series, would want to get a big score under his belt in the next game.

David will once again face the challenge of Varun Chakaravarthy, who will be entrusted to dismiss the hard-hitting batter in back-to-back matches.

IND vs AUS Key Players:

IND- Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav

AUS- Mitchell Marsh, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Nathan Ellis, Xavier Bartlett

IND vs AUS Weather Report:

Conclusion

India has no option other than winning the third T20I against Australia if the Suryakumar Yadav-led side wants to keep their chances of winning the series alive, as a loss in it will mean that they can only level the series at best.

As far as Australia is concerned, the home team would like to keep things simple and do the same things that helped them register a win in the previous match.
