India vs Australia 3rd T20 full scorecard
It was a seesaw battle between bat and ball at Hobart’s Bellerive Oval in the first innings of the third T20 between India and Australia, where despite India taking wickets at crucial junctures, Australia, with the help of heavy hitting from Tim David and Marcus Stoinis, managed to put up a challenging total of 186 for six on the board. India suffered the same fate, losing wickets at regular intervals but still managed to cross the required mark of 187 with five wickets and nine balls to spare to level the series 1-1.
Earlier, Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl first. The decision worked as Arshdeep Singh, in the very first over, removed Travis Head (6) to hand India the first wicket. Arshdeep continued his successful return as, in his very next over, he removed Josh Inglis (1) to deal Australia an early double blow.
However, Tim David then launched a counterattack as Australia crossed the 50-run mark in just 6.3 overs. He continued to attack and brought up his ninth T20I half-century in just 23 balls to finally put Australia in control of the match. Varun Chakravarthy then broke the stand in the ninth over after removing Mitchell Marsh (11) and, on the very next ball, cleaned up Mitchell Owen (0) to get India back in control.
Tim David (74) then partnered with Marcus Stoinis to add 45 runs for the fifth wicket before finally losing his wicket to Shivam Dube. Marcus Stoinis, meanwhile, continued to attack from one end and brought up his sixth T20I half-century.
In the end, Marcus Stoinis (64) along with Matthew Short (26 not out) added 64 runs for the sixth wicket as Australia finished their innings at 186 for six after 20 overs.
In reply, India got off to a great start and added 33 runs for the first wicket in just 3.3 overs before Nathan Ellis removed in-form Abhishek Sharma (25) to hand Australia their first wicket. Shubman Gill (15) couldn’t do much and also lost his wicket to Nathan Ellis as India finished the powerplay at 64 runs for the loss of two wickets.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav (24) looked in good touch but lost his wicket off Marcus Stoinis as India’s top three were sent to the dugout inside 10 overs. Axar Patel (17) was the next batter to depart, and once again it was Nathan Ellis who struck the blow for Australia.
Tilak Varma (29) played some good shots before losing his wicket to Xavier Bartlett. In the end, Washington Sundar (49 not out) and Jitesh Sharma (22 not out) added an unbeaten 43 runs for the sixth wicket to take India over the line with five wickets to spare and level the five-match series 1-1 after the third game.
