IND vs AUS 3rd T20 Match Bellerive Oval Pitch and Weather Report
The Indian Express provides a detailed report on the pitch and weather conditions for the third T20I between India and Australia at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
Match Overview
Suryakumar Yadav's India faces Mitchell Marsh's Australia in the third match of the five-match T20I series at Bellerive Oval on Sunday. Australia leads the series 1-0 after winning the second T20I in Melbourne, with the first game in Canberra having been washed out.
Pitch Conditions
Bellerive Oval is generally a good batting surface. Early in the innings, the pitch offers some movement for fast bowlers due to seam conditions. However, as the ball loses its shine, batting becomes easier.
Fast bowlers who can exert effort will find some assistance, while spinners are expected to have a limited impact.
Batting and Bowling Insights
India's batting struggled in the second T20I under challenging conditions favorable to seamers. Except for Abhishek Sharma, the Indian batsmen faced difficulty handling pace and bounce. Bowling-wise, defending a total of 125 runs left little scope for impact.
Weather Forecast
- Maximum temperature: 26°C
- Minimum temperature: 13°C
Author's Summary
The Hobart pitch offers early seam help but favors batsmen as the game progresses, while weather remains pleasant, likely influencing the third India vs Australia T20I outcome.
