Suryakumar Yadav’s India will face Mitchell Marsh’s Australia in the third match of the five-match T20I series at Bellerive Oval, Hobart, on Sunday. Australia leads the series 1-0 after winning the second T20I in Melbourne, while the first game at Canberra was washed out.
The pitch at Bellerive Oval is known to be good for batting. Early in the innings, fast bowlers can expect some seam movement to exploit, but as the ball loses its shine, batting conditions improve significantly. Fast bowlers who can extract movement from the surface may find some help, while spinners are likely to have a limited impact.
"Bellerive Oval is a good batting deck. Although there will be a bit of seam movement for the fast bowlers to exploit early on in the innings, as the ball loses its shine, batting will get easier."
India’s batting struggled in the second match due to the seam-friendly conditions. Apart from Abhishek Sharma, most batsmen found it challenging to handle the pace and bounce on the wicket. Defending a low total of 125 runs, India’s bowling attack was unable to make a significant impact.
The weather is expected to be clear, offering ideal conditions for the match at Bellerive Oval.
The pitch favors batsmen as the innings progresses, with initial seam movement aiding fast bowlers, and pleasant weather conditions are expected for the third T20I between India and Australia.
