India vs Australia 3rd T20 2023, Match Prediction: India won the second match quite comprehensively. We should say that the Indian cricket team is playing good cricket when it comes to batting but we still feel Indian cricket bowling is still short of what we can say it’s good bowling. Ravi Bishnoi has been standing out when it comes to bowling but the rest of the bowlers have been very expensive. Though Indian batters had posted a huge total on the scoreboard. Still, when Marcus Stoinis and Tim David were batting with Mathew Wade was still to come, the Australian team had a chance. Apart from bowlers, Ruturaj will be looking to make more runs plus finish on a better strike rate.
Let’s see who all Australia might be playing in India vs Australia 3rd T20 2023:
- Mathew Short
- Travis Head
- Josh Inglis
- Aaron Hardie
- Marcus Stoinis
- Tim David
- Mathew Wade
- Kane Richardson
- Nathan Ellis
- Adam Zampa
- Tanveer Sangha
Though we had predicted for the second T20I, where we had predicted that Steven Smith will be replaced. Rest Adam Zampa played the last match.
Now let’s see the Indian Playing XI
- Ruturaj Gaikwad
- Yashasvi Jaiswal
- Ishan Kishan
- Suryakumar Yadav
- Tilak Verma
- Rinku Singh
- Axar Patel
- Ravi Bishnoi
- Arshdeep Singh
- Mukesh Kumar
- Avesh Khan
We would bring Avesh Khan for Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sunder in place of Arshdeep Singh, as Washington Sunder does have good experience of bowling in first 6 overs, plus he can bat and if you see the past T20I, Arshdeep has been giving out runs in the same range, but we have an extra batter plus a bowler who does not bowl no-balls or gives extra runs.
India vs Australia 3rd T20 2023 – Match Prediction
So, now we reach to the North-East of India and match will be played in Guwahati. The venue has previously in limited matches played there has always supported bowlers and when it has been good for batting, it really has been an amazing pitch. But considering the time of play plus the month it is being played, we expect the pitch to be good for bowling and we can expect a low score or a reasonable score from team batting first. The pitch has traditionally helped seamers, as much as Robin Singh the Indian all-rounder of 1990s took a 5-wicket haul against Sri Lanka here. So, you can expect if you have the control on the ball, this can make a lot of difference and hence we think playing Washington Sunder and giving him the new ball can be a masterstroke. As if he can bowl seam up, plus he will have better control, he can put a lid on scoring in the first few overs for India, same for Australia, They can bring in Marcus and Aaron as first and second change till the time ball is new and moving in the air, and then they can fall back on their spinners.
India vs Australia 3rd T20 2023 Our Prediction:
Batting First: 10 Overs – 60 to 70 Runs
Batting First: 20 Overs – 140 to 150 Runs
Batting Second: 10 to 20 runs short of what Batting first will make. Hence our prediction is that Batting first will win the match.
