Nov 2, 2025 04:41 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Ellis picks third wicketNathan Ellis has picked up his third wicket of the evening here. It was a quick bumper which Axar was in no position to deal with, and he got the top-edge, and the third man, who is square on the wicket, took the catch. Washington Sundar has walked into the middle. Still no Shivam Dube, which is a tad bit surprising. Ellis is bowling quite superbly here in the middle. He is mixing up his bouncers nicely.Nov 2, 2025 04:32 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Why not Dube?Interestingly, India has opted to send in Axar Patel instead of Shivam Dube. Although Axar is a more than capable batter to take India out of this tough situation, one must be wondering what the role of Dube on this side is. A lot will tell when he comes out to bat today and how he goes about his innings. As of now, the rate at which India is scoring is quite good, but they have just lost one wicket too many.Nov 2, 2025 04:22 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Suryakumar Yadav departsMarcus Stoinis has picked up the Indian skipper here. It was a soft dismissal in the end. The ball was pitched in the hard length, and he drove the ball on the up, and it went straight to mid-off, who was closer than the orthodox position. India is in a bit of a pickle here. The poor run of Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav continues in this format of the game. Axar Patel is the new batter who has walked into the middle.Nov 2, 2025 04:12 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Shubman Gill departsShubman Gill too has fallen now; it is Nathan Ellis yet again. It was a fuller one from the bowler, and Gill was trapped in front of the wicket. It did look like it was going down the leg-side on first look umpire did give it out, and when it was sent upstairs, there were three reds on the ball-tracking. Another low score for Shubman Gill at the top of the order. As his red-ball game is peaking, his white-ball game is going down a bit.Nov 2, 2025 04:00 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Abhishek has fallen hereAbhishek Sharma has fallen here. It was a short ball from Nathan Ellis, and Abhishek tried to pull it, skied it in the air, and the keeper finished the catch. Just when India were getting away with the game a bit, Australia have managed to pick a wicket. Suryakumar Yadav has walked into the middle. He and Shubman Gill need some runs here. They were batting quite brilliantly in Canberra before the rain struck.Nov 2, 2025 03:51 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Abhishek starts wellAbhishek Sharma has started well here. He is going after the bowling early in the piece, which is what he is renowned for. The ball is coming nicely onto the bat. Just wondering if India will complete this chase in the cantor here. Shubman Gill at the other end, too, has started well. Xavier Bartlett, who has taken the new ball, Australia does need some assistance from the wicket to do some magic, but as of now, there is nothing.Nov 2, 2025 03:40 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Welcome back!No Josh Hazlewood today for Australia, which will be a relief for the Indian openers. Both Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma would be looking for most of the good batting conditions here. Gill has been in a bit of a rut in T20I cricket. A good opportunity for him to make the most of the conditions here.Nov 2, 2025 03:38 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: TeamsAustralia (Playing XI): Mitchell Marsh(c), Travis Head, Josh Inglis(w), Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Short, Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Matthew KuhnemannIndia (Playing XI): Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma(w), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit BumrahNov 2, 2025 03:24 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: AUS 186/6 vs IND in HobartWell, it is 186 what Australia got. It was a brilliant innings from Marcus Stoinis in the end. He and Tim David have ensured Australia has put on a good total. As per the bowling, Arshdeep Singh has picked up three wickets, and Varun Chakarvarthy has got two wickets. This is a good wicket for batting, and India, if they bat properly, can chase these runs. We will be right back after the break do stay with us.Nov 2, 2025 03:13 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Brilliant half-centuryThis is a brilliant half-century for Marcus Stoinis here. Just when things were looking a bit downhill for Australia, Stoinis has come and played quite a superb knock. India will not be too worried about the total Australia has here. Although it does seem like a massive total as the evening has progressed, the batting has become easier and easier; hence if India gives themselves a good chance in the powerplay, we might have an interesting chase.Nov 2, 2025 03:02 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: 190 looks goodAustralia are looking good to get 190 here. This partnership between Stoinis and Short has been what the doctor ordered for Australia. Both of them have taken their time initially and picked the right moment to attack the bowlers. Given what we have seen in the past both have another gear to their batting and if they do manage to get to that gear we can see even Australia touching about that 210 mark.Nov 2, 2025 02:52 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: David fallsDavid has fallen here, and the wicket-taker is Shivam Dube. The batter slammed it down the ground, but Tilak Varma on the boundary took a very good catch. Australia have lost five wickets here, and if not for David's innings, there has not been much of a contribution that has come from the other batters. Mathew Short and Marcus Stoinis are in the middle, and they are quite capable of providing the finishing touch needed.Nov 2, 2025 02:43 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Can David get ton?Tim David is on course to make his 2nd T20I century here. Earlier in the year, against the West Indies, he scored one, and the rate at which he is batting here, he can get one. The most impressive part has been his evolution in the format how from a hitter to he has become a batter who can rotate strike and build an innings together. If Australia can make this work with the strike rate he bats at, Australia might have found an excellent number four for the World Cup.Nov 2, 2025 02:32 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Chakarvarthy gets two wicketsVarun Chakarvarthy has picked up a couple of wickets here. First, it was Mitchell Marsh who tried to hit one in the long-off region, which was against the breeze, and was caught by Tilak Varma, and then Mitchell Owen got out for a golden duck of the ball that was flicked by Chakarvarthy, which came back in sharply for the batter. India has made their way back into the game a bit here.Nov 2, 2025 02:22 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Landmarks galoreBoth Mitchell Marsh and Tim David have put on a 50-run stand here. The majority of the scoring has been done by David. He is smashing the ball all over the ground here. As we update, David has scored 50 in just 23 deliveries. Anything which is coming in his arc, David is smashing it into boundaries. His offside play today has been immaculate. India needs to be a bit careful here; they seem to be shell-shocked a bit by this innings.Nov 2, 2025 02:13 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: David starts wellTim David has started well here at four. It does seem like he is going to counter-attack, and that is why he is sent up the order. Varun Chakarvarthy came to bowl his first over, and he was smacked for a six and a boundary by David. As we update, Washington Sundar's fielding at point has dropped the chance of David. It was a wide delivery from Bumrah, which David carved straight to Sundar, and it does seem like it went too quickly for his liking.Nov 2, 2025 02:02 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Arshdeep picks InglisWell, on his return, Arshdeep Singh has picked up his second wicket of the day, and it is Jos Inglis this time. It was a delivery around his rib-cage area, which Inglis picked up nicely, but hit it straight to the square-leg fielder on the boundary. It was a difficult hit for him as the breeze was going in the opposite direction. Tim David has walked into the middle. It is an interesting move from Australia to promote him up the order.Nov 2, 2025 01:53 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Arshdeep gets first wicketArshdeep Singh has picked up the first wicket here. It is Travis Head he got rid of. It was a short ball from him, which Head tried to hit over the mid-off fielder ended up getting high on the bat. Suryakumar Yadav finished a simple catch. Back in the side, Arshdeep Singh strikes in the first over. Jasprit Bumrah has taken the new ball from the other end for India. As per Australia, Jos Inglis is the new man who has walked in.Nov 2, 2025 01:44 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Let's go!The crowd is buzzing here in Hobart. It is a good batting wicket. India has opted for the same combination of seamers and spinners, but with different personnel. It will be interesting to see how they will fare today.Nov 2, 2025 01:39 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Unbeaten recordAustralia are unbeaten at the Hobart. In five games, they have won all of them.Nov 2, 2025 01:31 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Mitchell Marsh at tossIt's a belter of a wicket. Want to get off to a good start and post a big total. We have just the one change - Abbott is in for Hazlewood.Nov 2, 2025 01:30 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Surykumar Yadav at tossWe are going to bowl first. The ball will come on nicely to the bat in the 2nd innings. Happy to take it one game at a time. We have three changes - Jitesh, Arshdeep and Washington come in.Nov 2, 2025 01:25 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: AUS playing XIMitchell Marsh(c), Travis Head, Josh Inglis(w), Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Short, Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Matthew KuhnemannNov 2, 2025 01:24 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: IND playing XIShubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma(w), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit BumrahNov 2, 2025 01:06 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Surykumar Yadav after loss in 2nd T20I(on Hazlewood) Absolutely. The way he bowled in the powerplay - if you’re four down early, it’s very difficult to recover. Credit goes to him, he bowled really well. (on Abhishek) He’s been doing this for a while now. He knows his game, knows his identity, and it’s good he’s not changing it - that’s what’s brought him success. Hopefully, he sticks with it and plays many more knocks like this for us. (Quick turnaround for the next game) We need to do the same thing what we did in the first game - bat really well if we’re batting first, put nice runs on the board and then come out and defend.Nov 2, 2025 12:55 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Srikkanth on Sanju Samson“Sending him at No. 3 was a knee-jerk reaction. They sent him there once the ball was moving around, and he also couldn’t do anything. You are spoiling the balance of the team; forget about the individual. Just because there was some zip in the wicket, you sent Sanju out to bat and he got out immediately,” said Srikkanth.”Nov 2, 2025 12:46 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Srikkanth on Sanju Samson“I don’t understand what they are doing with Sanju Samson. He bats at 5 one game, then suddenly at 4, 6, 7, or 8. And in this match, he bats at 3. That is not fair, you’ve to give a fixed position. Mentally, only then can a batsman make up his mind. You can’t just keep shuffling the batting order. You are spoiling that boy’s confidence, which is not fair,” he said on his YouTube channel.Nov 2, 2025 12:37 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Sadagoppan Ramesh on batting musical chairs“India needs to stop playing musical chairs with their batting order. They would have had a great chance of winning if they had scored 160 to 170. Didn’t Suryakumar Yadav play well at No. 3 in the last match? He was not out as well. Then why send Sanju Samson at No. 3?” said Ramesh.“He went from opening to No. 5 and now from 5 to 3. Because of this, everyone is looking at each other in confusion on who might go into bat next. Tilak Varma won India the Asia Cup final at No. 4, and you moved him to No.Nov 2, 2025 12:24 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Sadagoppan Ramesh slams Harshit Rana’s promotion“Someone who cooks well can’t be made a driver, and a good driver can’t become the cook. Likewise, the management should focus on each player’s strength and main role in the team and aim to get the best out of them in that role. If they do something extra, that’s well and good,” said Ramesh on his Instagram handle.“But their secondary skill should not become the primary role, and I fear that’s happening in this Indian team. A bowler who can bat needs to deliver with the ball first, and likewise, a batter who can bat must deliver with the ball first. The management needs to be clear on this. That’s where India are slipping right now,” he added.Nov 2, 2025 12:15 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Varun Aaron on India's bowling“I thought Bumrah started off really well, with over the wicket. Then we went around. That changed plans. Harshit was a bit too short. In these conditions, you can sometimes get carried away with pace and bounce, but you have to put it in the right areas. Josh Hazlewood is the best example of this,” Aaron observed.Nov 2, 2025 12:08 PM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Abhishek Sharma on batting in Australia“The challenge is that a lot of players, including me, are on their first tour here. We knew about the extra bounce and pace, but still the way they bowled, surprised us,” Abhishek Sharma said at the post-match press conference. “They were very disciplined with their line and length, and credit goes to them.”“Our plan was to dominate up front, but it was a little unexpected for us. When wickets are falling in front of you, no matter who the batter is, you have to play for the team. The wicket was difficult; it wasn’t easy to hit shots,” Abhishek revealed.Nov 2, 2025 11:52 AM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: Aaron says India were 30-40 short in 2nd T20I“India were very off, first of all, with the amount of runs they put on the board. They should have scored at least 30 to 40 runs more in these conditions. I think they pulled the trigger and then they just couldn’t stop going after that. Then, with the new ball, they could have been slightly better,”Nov 2, 2025 11:50 AM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: How will weather play?The maximum temperature is expected to be 26 degrees centigrade on Sunday, and the minimum temperature is 13 degrees Celsius. With it still being an early season in the Australian cricket calander, dew might play a significant role in the second innings, hence teams winning the toss might be tempted to bowl first to give their batters the best conditions to chase.Nov 2, 2025 11:34 AM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: How will the pitch playBellerive Oval is a good batting deck. Although there will be a bit of seam moment for the fast bowlers to exploit early on in the innings, as the ball loses its shine a bit, the batting will get easier. As per the bowlers, fast bowlers who can bend their back will get something out of the surface, but spinners might have a limited role to play in the game.Nov 2, 2025 11:25 AM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: AUS predicted XITravis Head, Mitchell Marsh (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Tim David, Mitch Owen, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Xavier Bartlett, Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Matthew Kuhnemann.Nov 2, 2025 11:06 AM ISTIndia vs Australia Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20: IND predicted XIAbhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson/Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav/Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah.
