Hobart Weather Forecast: Will Rain Affect 3rd India vs Australia T20I at Bellerive Oval?
The ongoing T20I series between India and Australia faces yet another threat from inclement weather after the earlier washout in Canberra. The focus now shifts to Hobart, where the third T20I is scheduled for Sunday, 2 November.
India’s Performance So Far
India continues to trail behind Australia in the white-ball tour. Their strong batting start in Canberra was cut short by heavy rain, while their performance in Melbourne crumbled under pressure. The team was dismissed for just 125 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Key Individual Performances
Abhishek Sharma’s quick 68 and Harshit Rana’s unexpected 35 were the highlights of India’s innings. Without these contributions, the total might not have crossed a hundred. Despite some resistance with the ball later, Australia’s openers dominated early on.
“Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head’s explosive partnership in the powerplay set up Australia’s successful chase.”
Looking Ahead to the Third T20I
India will meet Australia next at Bellerive Oval in Hobart. It’s not yet a must-win situation for Suryakumar Yadav’s side, but another defeat could leave their hopes of clinching the series hanging by a thread.
Weather forecasts for Hobart suggest possible showers, raising concerns about another disruption to the match.
Summary
India must regroup and hope rain stays away in Hobart to keep their T20I series hopes alive against a confident Australian side.
