India go up against Australia in the third T20 international on Sunday, September 25, 2022, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad from 7:00 PM IST (Indian Standard Time).
The hosts opened their account for the series after a thrilling six-wicket win against Australia in Nagpur. The match was curtailed to eight overs a side due to a wet outfield. The Indian bowling lineup, headlined by Axar Patel, managed to restrict Australia to 90 runs. Rohit Sharma led India’s charge to victory with a 20-ball 46 as the Men in Blue chased down the target with four balls to spare.
On the other hand, the Australian cricket team‘s pacers struggled to contain the Indian batters, just like in the first T20I. Regardless of the Aussies’ experimentation on this tour, Matthew Wade has relished the opportunity to finish games in this series while Adam Zampa and Aaron Finch seemed back in form in Nagpur. Kane Richardson has a minor side niggle and will not feature in the final game of the series.

India vs Australia 3rd T20I prediction
India bounced back in the second T20I against Australia to level the series. The Men in Blue won the only T20I previously played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium and the conditions are likely to suit the hosts in the upcoming match. The Gullybet odds are in favour of India, who are expected to win the game and the series in Hyderabad.
On the other hand, Australia have won two of the three ODIs played in Hyderabad and their batters have capitalized against the Indian bowlers in the death overs. Their key players are in good form and the Australian cricket team will challenge India for victory on Sunday.
