India vs Australia 3rd T20I Preview
The India vs Australia T20I 2025 series now heads to Hobart for what promises to be a thrilling third encounter at the Bellerive Oval on Sunday, November 2. The Men in Blue will be desperate to level the series after a mixed start in the opening two games.
Australia, on the other hand, will look to tighten their grip on the series despite losing their key pacer Josh Hazlewood, who has been rested ahead of the upcoming Ashes. His absence could be a relief for Indian batters, especially after he caused major problems in the last match.

A High-Scoring Battle Expected in Hobart
The Bellerive Oval pitch is known for being friendly to batters, so fans can expect another run-fest. Short boundaries and true bounce make it ideal for stroke play — which means players like Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, and Abhishek Sharma could shine if they get going early.
For Australia, Travis Head and Tim David will be the ones to watch. Both possess explosive hitting power and are capable of turning the game within a few overs.
Arshdeep Singh Likely To Return
After being surprisingly left out in the second match, Arshdeep Singh might finally get his chance in Hobart. The left-arm pacer’s ability to swing the ball and bowl tight death overs could give India the balance they lacked earlier.
Meanwhile, the management could stick with Varun Chakaravarthy for spin duties alongside Axar Patel, especially given the ground’s dimensions and dew factor.
Head-to-Head Record
