India Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There were no reports of any injuries in the Indian team at the time of writing. Despite facing a big defeat in the last game, the selectors may not make changes to the current lineup.
Key Players
Shikhar Dhawan has a fifty in his only ODI innings at this ground and the team will look to him for scoring the big runs. Virat Kohli lasted just two deliveries at Guwahati but he is expected to make a strong comeback at Hyderabad. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been very impressive since the start of the ODI series and India will depend on him for getting the early breakthroughs with the new ball. The spin pair of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were a bit off colour last time and it will be crucial to the team's chances that they deliver on Friday night.
Recent Form
India suffered a batting collapse right at the start of their innings in the last game. They kept on losing wickets to a point from where it became extremely difficult for them to post a respectable first-innings total. The hosts have now lost three out of their seven T20Is this year.
India Predicted XI
-
Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
Australia Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The Australian team seems to be in good physical condition with all their players match-fit. No changes are expected in their
lineup after their emphatic victory in the second T20 international.
Key Players
The Aussies rely on David Warner a lot at the top of the order but he has struggled on this tour which will put more pressure
on the in-form Aaron Finch. Finch will be the key man once again for Australia while Travis Head and Moises Henriques who
stitched a 109-run partnership in the last match will also be the ones to watch out for in the middle order. Nathan Coulter-Nile
and Jason Behrendorff will be the major threats for the Indian batting lineup. The latter will be high on confidence after claiming a
four-wicket haul the other night.
Recent Form
Australia were very sharp with the ball in the last match. A brilliant exhibition of pace bowling from Behrendorff pinned India
to the mat early on in the game before the Aussie batsmen made short work of their target. This was Australia's second
win in five T20Is this year.
Australia Predicted XI
-
David Warner (c), Aaron Finch, Glenn Maxwell, Travis Head, Moises Henriques, Marcus Stoinis, Tim Paine (wk),
Nathan Coulter-Nile, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa, Jason Behrendorff

India vs Australia Head to Head
England have now recorded 13 victories over the West Indies in the previous 14 completed one-day internationals between
the two sides. The visitors, however, have an upper hand in terms of head-to-head battle at the Trent Bridge as they have
beaten the hosts here four times out of five in the past.
India vs Australia 3rd T20 Betting Odds
India got a beating from Australia in the second T20I but in spite of this, the bookmakers are keeping faith in the hosts and
have them as favorites to win the third T20 international at odds of 1.63 with 1xbet and 1.61 with Bet365. Australia made a strong comeback after having been outplayed in the
ODIs and then in the first T20I. They were very energetic in the field and managed to silence the home crowd in the game's first
over itself. The tourists however find themselves as outsiders for this match at 2.5 with Betfair and 2.30 with Bet365.
India vs Australia 3rd T20 Prediction
Australia will be feeling a lot more confident after their convincing victory over India. Their over-dependency on Warner and
Finch had been their major concern on this tour but they would have been relieved to see Travis Head and Moises Henriques
take the team home after the early departure of both the openers. India simply played below their potential when it came to
batting and then the dew made it even more harder for their bowlers to defend a small total of 118. Having said that, they should
not be written off after just one rough day at work. The hosts have won their previous two three-game bilateral T20I series at
home and we predict them to win their third consecutive when the two teams face-off at Hyderabad.
Final Verdict: Back India to beat Australia in the third T20 at 1.63 with 1xbet and 1.61 with Bet365.
