India vs Australia, 3rd T20 Highlights: Sundar-Jitesh help India take 5-wicket win and level series 1-1

India vs Australia, 3rd T20I Live Score & Updates: India will be desperate to bounce back as they face Australia in the third T20 International at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. After being outplayed in the second T20I in Melbourne and a washout in the opening game in Canberra, Suryakumar Yadav’s side will look to rediscover their rhythm and level the five-match series on Sunday.

Maxwell returns; Arshdeep expected to feature today 

The MCG defeat exposed India’s weakness against pace and bounce, with Abhishek Sharma’s lone fight saving them from complete collapse. As the action shifts to the third game, India may stick with their same lineup but could also consider fresh options like Arshdeep Singh or Rinku Singh. Meanwhile, Glenn Maxwell is expected to return for Australia, making their team even harder to beat.

India will need to put on their best performance to overcome this Australian side and stay alive in the five-match series, which is currently in favour of the hosts at 1-0. The Indian top order failed miserably in the last outing in Melbourne, apart from that lone knock from Abhishek. Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Sanju Samson must fire with the bat today to keep India in the race.
