IND vs AUS 3rd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
India and Australia contest the third game of the five match T20I series on Tuesday evening in Guwahati. So far in the series, India have won by 2 wickets in Visakhapatnam and by 44 runs in Thiruvananthapuram so another victory for the hosts in this fixture will see them claim the series. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium at 19:00 local time.
After a tight victory in the opening game of the series, India were far too strong for Australia in Sunday’s second match. Their batting line-up was particularly impressive in the last game and we expect them to come out on top again on Tuesday.
With two defeats from two games so far in the series, Australia know that they must pull out all the stops to get a win in this match to stay in the series. They need to tighten up their bowling in Guwahati but if they can do that then they could register a victory.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
So far in this series, Suryakumar Yadav has announced the same team for both of the matches and we are not anticipating a different XI in Guwahati. Arshdeep Singh has been expensive with the ball but we expect him to keep his place in the team for this T20I.
IND Key Players
- Suryakumar Yadav - The skipper is always playing attacking cricket and although he only contributed 19 runs in Thiruvananthapuram, he hit two sixes and was at the crease for just ten balls. Suryakumar Yadav has scored 214 runs in 5 T20Is against Australia at a strike rate of 187.71.
- Ishan Kishan - The clean-hitting keeper-batter had gone 16 T20I innings without a half-century before the start of this series but has already hit nine sixes across the two matches. Ishan Kishan has scored 110 runs in just 2 T20Is against Australia and he looks confident with half centuries in the last 2 matches.
- Ruturaj Gaikwad - After a duck in the first match, Gaikwad smashed 58 off 43 deliveries in the 2nd match and showed his class. He has accumulated 335 runs in 16 T20Is and he is expected to perform well on this batting track. In the race to find the best top-order batsmen in the Indian T20I side, Gaikwad is among the top contenders.
- Ravi Bishnoi - The spinner has dismissed Australian opener Matthew Short in both games of the series so far and has picked up at least one wicket in 16 of his 18 T20I appearances. He has picked 4 wickets in this series so far out of which 3 came in the last match. Australians have struggled against Indian spinners in the past and Bishnoi is taking full advantage of that.
- Prasidh Krishna - The tall right-arm pace bowler picked up the key wicket of opener Steven Smith on Sunday on his way to returning figures of 3/41. He was brilliant with his pitching and bowled some impressive yorkers to topple the Aussie batters. He can be an all-time key pacer for India if he works on his economy.
IND Team Form
India have not only won both games of this series so far but have picked up wins in four of their last five matches in this format.
India Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Mukesh Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Ravi Bishnoi
Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
There were two changes to Australia’s XI from the opening game of the series as Jason Behrendorff and Aaron Hardie were left out with Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell coming in. We expect changes once more in this match with Sean Abbott’s place under threat after conceding 56 runs from 3 overs. As Steven Smith and Adam Zampa have left for Australia, we are expecting Travis Head and Kane Richardson to replace them in the playing 11. Few more players are expected to leave the day after 3rd T20I.
AUS Key Players
- Travis Head -Travis Head has played 20 T20Is so far in which he has smashed 460 runs at an impressive strike rate of 140.67. Head was in brilliant form in the ODI World Cup and played a heroic innings in the final match. He can carry on that momentum and score another knock in this match.
- Marcus Stoinis - The all-rounder impressed with both his defensive strength and his big-hitting in Thiruvananthapuram as he contributed 45 runs from 25 balls. Stoinis has scored 138 runs and picked 4 wickets in 9 T20Is against India and he has a good sense of Indian pitches due to IPL participation.
- Tim David - Tim David smashed 37 off 22 deliveries in the last match and we are backing him as a key batter on this batting track. David has scored 861 runs so far in T20Is at an aggressive strike rate of 162.75. His crucial knocks help the team to put up big scores on the board.
- Nathan Ellis - The medium fast bowler dismissed both openers and removed the skipper Suryakumar Yadav in the second T20I on Sunday. He picked 3 wickets but went a little costly giving out 45 runs. Ellis has picked 21 wickets in 10 T20Is at an impressive average of 14.42.
- Jason Behrendorff - It was a big surprise to see the tall pace bowler left out of the team on Sunday with Matthew Wade announcing that everyone was available. He was the most impressive of the attack in the first T20I. Behrendorff has picked 10 T20I wickets so far in 11 matches out of which 8 wickets have come against India.
AUS Team Form
Australia are looking to avoid their third successive T20I defeat, something which last happened in August 2021 ended a long unbeaten run in T20Is on Thursday but it was only a narrow defeat in the series opener.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
Matthew Short, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade (c) (wk), Nathan Ellis, Jason Behrendorff, Tanveer Sangha, Kane Richardson

Who will win India vs Australia 3rd T20 Match?
India were able to master the conditions better in the second T20I and as a result were able to get a comfortable victory. Australia still have more to give but we expect India to be the top team once again in this match.
🏆 India vs Australia Prediction
Australia are without most of their frontline pace bowlers in this series and it showed on Sunday with India’s batters going on the attack for most of the innings. This will be a crucial battle again on Tuesday and we expect the Indian batters to once again post some big contributions. Our prediction is for a closer game on Sunday but we are backing India to win.
