Australia managed to secure a win in Guwahati in the 2nd T20I, where the hosts won the match easily by eight wickets.
Australia, the World Champions. came to India with a lot of expectations, but India’s new spin-twins spun their web around Steven Smith’s side which helped the hosts to outplay the visitors. David Warner, not with the bat, but as a leader managed to put life in the ongoing series and the Australian supporters something to cheer for.
Hyderabad’s weather would be overcast on Friday (13th October) though there is little chance of rain interruption in the game.
Team news: India went unchanged in the first two games so there is a possibility that Virat Kohli might go with the same eleven, as the 3rd T20I is now a decider. However, to strengthen the batting order Dinesh Karthik might come in place of Manish Pandey or Kedar Jadhav.
While Australia are likely to retain the same eleven which took the field in Guwahati, as Marcus Stoinis did well with the ball, who came in place of Daniel Christian.
Predicted XI:
India: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Dinesh Karthik, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni (WK), Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Australia: David Warner (Captain), Aaron Finch, Glenn Maxwell, Moises Henriques, Travis Head, Marcus Stoinis, Tim Paine (WK), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa, Jason Behrendorff.
