IND vs AUS 2022, 3rd T20I: Today's match players list, teams & umpires
Team India and Australia will have everything to play for when they lock horns in the third T20I at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday, September 25. After failing to defend 208 in the opening match, the Men in Blue came back well to register a six-wicket win in a shortened game - eight overs per side - in Nagpur.
Bowling first after winning the toss, Team India conceded 90 runs. However, chasing is always an advantage in shortened matches and the hosts eased to victory to level the series. Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s performance with the willow was one of the biggest positives for the team from the win in the previous game. He batted like the “Hitman” of old and guided the chase.
Left-arm spinner Axar Patel has been terrific in the series so far. He followed up his three for 17 in the first match with impressive figures of two for 13 in Nagpur. Jasprit Bumrah also made a good comeback from injury, cleaning up Aaron Finch with a yorker. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel’s lack of effectiveness remains a concern though.
