India vs Australia
3rd T20 Match Prediction & Tips
Time: 25 Sep, 07:00 PM (IST)
Series: 3rd T20i Match
Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium – Hyderabad
Info:
Rohit Sharma hit the top score across the game in the second IT20 and the captain is well worth backing as India’s highest run scorer against Australia. Axar Patel has series figures of 5-30 and the left-arm spinner is a strong choice for India’s top wicket taker in this game.
Aaron Finch hit 31 runs from 15 balls on Friday and the skipper is our tip for Australia’s highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, Adam Zampa took 3-16 in Nagpur and the spinner is our pick for Australia’s top wicket taker in Hyderabad.
Both sides have strong opening pairs but we are backing India to have the ‘Highest Opening Partnership’.

Team Updates
India (IND)
India forced a series decider against Australia in Hyderabad after clinching a truncated eight-overs-a-side contest at Nagpur in the final over.
After Axar Patel starred with the ball, his 2 for 13 , keeping the visitors to 90, Rohit Sharma shepherded the chase with an unbeaten 20-ball 46 to see his team over the line with four balls and six wickets to spare.
Rohit Sharma and Lokesh Rahul will probably open the inning.
Virat Kohli will bat at the one-down position.
Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya will handle the middle-order batting.
Rohit Sharma will lead India as a Captain. He is also a good Batsman

Axar Patel is having topmost fantasy points in this series.
Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel will lead the pace attack of his team.
Australia (AUS)
Australias top order collapsed after Axar Patels heroics as he picked 2 wickets.
Matthew Wade exploited the India bowling once again after his pinch-hitting knock.
Aaron Finch and Cameron Green will probably open the inning.

Winning Chances:
Both sides will believe that they have the talent to take this IT20 series but so far we have only seen one win each. If Adam Zampa can repeat his bowling from Friday in this match then Australia will push India all the way. We are backing India to win the game and take the series 2-1.
India are favorites to beat Australia at the odds.
