India won the toss and elected to field in the third T20I against Australia at Hobart's Bellerive Oval. Australia leads the five-match series 1-0, making this match vital for India to keep their series hopes alive.

Australia’s Strong Batting Performance

Tim David delivered a blazing 74 runs off 38 balls, including a 23-ball half-century, powering Australia’s innings. Marcus Stoinis also boosted the total by hitting his fifty with three boundaries off Arshdeep Singh. A notable moment came when Stoinis survived a close catch chance by Rinku Singh which was ruled not out after the third umpire review confirmed the ball bounced first.

"Tim David's 74 off 38 balls was a stellar performance, highlighted by his fiery 23-ball fifty."

Matthew Short contributed with a six off Abhishek Sharma, capitalizing on a dropped catch at the boundary by Arshdeep Singh.

Varun Chakaravarthy bowled an excellent over, taking two wickets in quick succession. He dismissed Mitchell Marsh, caught by Tilak Varma at long-off, and immediately bowled Mitchell Owen for a golden duck on the very next ball. Arshdeep Singh provided early breakthroughs but also faced some fielding lapses.

Shivam Dube took a key wicket by dismissing Tim David, who was caught at long-off after hitting a full delivery to Tilak Varma.

"Varun Chakaravarthy delivered a superb over, striking twice for India."
