Venue Spotlight: Bellerive Oval, Hobart
The Bellerive Oval in Hobart is known for its picturesque backdrop and lively crowd. However, Indian fans might not know that the team has never played a T20I match at this ground before. The surface here tends to favor seamers early on, but it usually flattens out as the game progresses — meaning batters could dominate once they settle in.
Key Updates and Team News
India’s T20I campaign this year had been flawless until that loss in Melbourne. The defeat broke their winning streak for 2025, making this match even more important for Suryakumar Yadav’s men.
Good news for India: Josh Hazlewood will miss this clash, giving India’s batters a sigh of relief. On the other hand, fans are eager to see if Arshdeep Singh will make his return to the playing XI.
