The Indian contingent are now in Hobart for the 3rd T20I against Australia at the Bellerive Oval today. The coin flip of the match went in India's way who invited Australia to bat first.  With Josh Hazlewood ruled out of the third T20I against India, the Indian batters will breathe a sigh of relief.  Hazlewood’s precise length and the bounce he generates have troubled the Indian top order, with his absence offering a chance for India to settle into their game. Hazlewood is being rested ahead of the upcoming Ashes series, and his departure opens the door for Australia’s other pacers like Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, and Sean Abbott, who are expected to step up in his place.
 
The omission of left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh, however, continues to raise questions. Despite his form, Arshdeep’s exclusion has left fans puzzled. Indian openers, including Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav, have had their struggles against bounce and seam movement, especially on pitches like the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. This ground, known for its batting-friendly conditions, promises another high-scoring affair, where length and placement will be key. With smaller boundaries, aggressive shot-making will be essential for both sides to dominate.
