With the five-match T20I series standing 1-0 in favour of the home side, Australia, the two teams are currently locking horns in the third game of the series on Sunday, November 2, underway at the Bellerive
Oval in Hobart. While the T20 champions will be hoping to level the series in the ongoing T20I before the action moves to Gold Coast for the fourth game.
For the unversed, Team India skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to bowl first, thus inviting the hosts to put the score first on the board. The decision from the Indian skipper came seeing Hobart offer a belter of a wicket. “We 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,” he said at the toss.
