India vs Australia LIVE: VICTORY FOR INDIA!

IND 188/5 (18.3)

India beat Australia by 5 wickets.

India vs Australia LIVE: FOUR!

Washington Sundar does not relent! He slams another boundary, this one a firm shot down the ground. India are just 5 runs away from the target. Washington is 2 away from his half-century but off-strike for the next over!

IND 182/5 (18)

India vs Australia LIVE: DROPPED!

Oh dear! Australia put down a catch this time. They need to hold onto these if they're to keep their slim chances of victory alive. Mitchell Owen the culprit this time, looking to grasp it reverse-cup. He loses his balance and puts it down.

IND 172/5 (17.1)

India vs Australia LIVE: SIX!

Washington Sundar goes big again! 6 more! What an incredible knock the left-hander has played today. Chance for Stoinis at deep square-leg, but he couldn't hold on. Washington is striking at over 210!

IND 171/5 (17)

India vs Australia LIVE: FOUR!

4 more for Jitesh! Ramp shot executed to perfection by the wicket-keeper batter. Two crucial boundaries already from his bat. This one against Australia's best bowler tonight, Nathan Ellis. India need 27 off 24.

IND 160/5 (16)

India vs Australia LIVE: 150 up for India!

Jitesh Sharma slams a boundary first ball with a lovely cover drive, and then takes India past the 150-run mark in the chase. The required run-rate is down to 7 an over. India need 35 runs to win, with 30 balls remaining.

IND 152/5 (15)

India vs Australia LIVE: OUT! Tilak departs!

OUT! Tilak Varma departs after mistiming a lap shot. Caught by Josh Inglis. Xavier Bartlett picks up a wicket, and Australia have some hope again. Tilak departs for 29 runs off 26 balls, having hit a 6 and a 4.

IND 145/5 (14.2)

India vs Australia LIVE: FOUR! SIX! SIX!

Washington Sundar continues to slam boundaries! 4, 6, 6! The left-hander first smartly picks out a gap over cover to slam 4. Then he smashes two sixes over deep mid-wicket! The first 6 is an effortless flick of the wrist, and the second 6 a thunderous pull!

Sean Abbott has conceded 50 runs in 3 overs!

IND 145/4 (14.1)

India vs Australia LIVE: FOUR!

Boundary! Washington Sundar slaps it straight back over Kuhnemann's head and picks up 4 runs. Crucial boundaries from the left-hander. The required run-rate slowly creeping up, but still under 9 runs per over.

IND 126/4 (13)

India vs Australia LIVE: SIX!

Stunning shot by Washington Sundar! Just the second ball he's facing, and he slams it over deep mid-wicket for 6. These boundaries will help ease the pressure on the Indian middle order despite the loss of key batters.

IND 119/4 (12)

India vs Australia LIVE: OUT!

GONE! Great catch by Xavier Bartlett! The pacer covers a lot of ground and puts in the dive to grasp that. Axar mistimes his pull shot after getting caught out by a bouncer from Ellis. Third wicket for Ellis!

IND 111/4 (11.1)

India vs Australia LIVE: India 105/3 after 10 overs

105/3 after 10 overs for India. Despite losing three key batters, they're going along at 10.5 runs per over. This has brought the required run-rate down to 8.2 per over. Tilak and Axar are scoring regular boundaries as well.

IND 105/3 (10)

India vs Australia LIVE: 4! 100 up for India!

100 up for the men in blue! It's come in just 9.2 overs. Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav played two fiery cameos, and now Tilak Varma and Axar Patel have chipped in with boundaries. Axar flicks it for 4 against Bartlett on the first ball of the 10th over.

IND 100/3 (9.2)

India vs Australia LIVE: SIX!

Maximum! Tilak Varma smashes Matt Short for 6 over deep square-leg on the final ball of the 9th over. Really solid start for Tilak, who is now up to 20. Tilak is no stranger to tricky run chases; can he marshall India to victory in another one today?

IND 95/3 (9)

India vs Australia LIVE: OUT! Suryakumar Yadav is gone!

OUT! Soft dismissal! Suryakumar Yadav departs for 24 off 11. Slower delivery from Stoinis, SKY goes for the drive but sends it straight to the fielder at short cover. India lose their third wicket.

IND 76/3 (7.3)

India vs Australia LIVE: FOUR!

Boundary for Tilak Varma! Marcus Stoinis comes into the attack, and Tilak smacks the first ball over mid-off for 4. Great shot by the left-hander, his first 4. India will need boundaries regularly if they are to pull off the chase.

IND 75/2 (7.1)

India vs Australia LIVE: FOUR!

Suryakumar Yadav keeps the run-rate ticking! Matthew Kuhnemann had bowled a tidy over up until the final delivery. SKY with a well-executed drive on the last ball, as he picks out the gap on the off-side.

IND 71/2 (7)

India vs Australia LIVE: India 64/2 after powerplay

End of the powerplay. India are going at nearly 11 runs per over, and that has brought the required rate to under 9. However, both openers are back in the dugout. Responsibility on captain SKY and Tilak Varma to stitch a partnership here.

IND 64/2 (6)

India vs Australia LIVE: OUT! Gill LBW!

GONE! Right after hitting the boundary, Shubman Gill gets trapped in front of the stumps by a toe-crushing yorker from Ellis. Umpire gives it out after a loud shout from Ellis. Gill takes the review but hawkeye shows three reds.

IND 61/2 (5.3)

India vs Australia LIVE: FOUR! Shubman Gill!

Shubman Gill picks up his first boundary! Classily lofted over mid-wicket. The ball races away for 4. It has taken Gill 11 deliveries to hit his first boundary of the chase. Can he get a move on now?

IND 61/1 (5.2)

India vs Australia LIVE: SKY dealing in sixes! India cross 50!

Suryakumar Yadav slams another maximum! Short ball from Abbott, but no fielder in the deep. SKY stands tall and pummells it over deep square-leg. The 50 comes up for India in 4.4 overs. Abbott then bowls a no-ball, but SKY fails to capitalize on the free-hit.

IND 55/1 (5)

India vs Australia LIVE: SIX!

Suryakumar Yadav brings out his signature shot! Down the leg-side from Ellis and flicked over deep square-leg by the Indian captain. First maximum for SKY. Can he step up and rediscover his form today?

IND 41/1 (4)

India vs Australia LIVE: OUT! Abhishek departs!

GONE! Big wicket for Australia! Abhishek Sharma departs. The left-hander looks to pull a short delivery from Nathan Ellis, but he doesn't time it well. The ball goes straight up and an easy catch taken by Josh Inglis.

IND 33/1 (3.3)

India vs Australia LIVE: 4, 6, 4! Abhishek in the mood!

4, 6, 4! 17 off the over! Abhishek Sharma takes Sean Abbott to the cleaners in the final three balls of the second over. First 4 slammed over backward point, then a massive 6 over mid-wicket, and then another boundary past mid-off!

IND 26/0 (2)

India vs Australia LIVE: SIX!

Abhishek Sharma is up and running! After missing out on a free-hit earlier in the over, Abhishek now charges down and thumps Xavier Bartlett for 6 over point. Terrific shot. He'll have a big role to play today if India want to chase this down.

IND 7/0 (0.3)

India vs Australia LIVE: Can India script record chase?

If India chase down 187, it will be the record chase in a T20I held at Hobart. T20Is have been held at the Bellerive Oval since 2010, and the record chase so far at the venue is 177 by Ireland against Scotland in 2022.

All eyes on Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill!

India vs Australia LIVE: Australia end on 186/6

186! That's what Australia manage in the end. The hosts got off to a terrible start. But thanks to a terrific 38-ball 74 by Tim David, and a crucial 39-ball 64 by Marcus Stoinis, they've reached a respectable total.

Arshdeep Singh with 3 wickets on his T20I comeback, while Varun Chakravarthy bagged 2.

AUS 186/6 (20)

IND Target - 187

India vs Australia LIVE: OUT! Arshdeep gets his third!

Marcus Stoinis finally departs. It's the same dismissal as two overs ago, but this time Rinku Singh takes a much more comfortable catch at long-on. Arshdeep gets his third wicket of the game. Stoinis departs for a well-made 64.

AUS 182/6 (19.3)

India vs Australia LIVE: Excellent over by Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah bowls a stunning 19th over. Concedes just 6 runs and puts a much-needed brake on the Australian run-flow. Up to Arshdeep now to close out things in a positive manner for India. How much can Australia get?

AUS 176/5 (19)

India vs Australia LIVE: 4, 4, 4! 50 for Stoinis!

Half-century for Marcus Stoinis! After being dropped on the first ball, he has taken Arshdeep to the cleaners in the second half of the over. 3 boundaries in the final 4 balls of the over. Australia will be eyeing 200 now!

AUS 170/5 (18)

India vs Australia LIVE: Catch dropped!

Dropped! Looked like Marcus Stoinis had been dismissed by Arshdeep Singh, as Rinku Singh took a catch at long-on. However, umpires check the fairness of the catch, and replays show that the ball hit the ground before Rinku got his fingers underneath it. Stoinis survives!

AUS 157/5 (17.1)

India vs Australia LIVE: 150 up for Australia!

Shivam Dube is given a third over by SKY, but he concedes 13 more runs. Interestingly, Washington Sundar has not been given a single over today! Australia have crossed 150, and Marcus Stoinis is nearing his fifty now.

AUS 156/5 (17)

India vs Australia LIVE: Abhishek Sharma into the attack!

Another bold call by Suryakumar Yadav! Part-timer Abhishek Sharma has been brought in to bowl the 16th over. He creates a half-chance on the third ball, as Matt Short looks to go big but doesn't time it so well. Arshdeep at deep square-leg gets a hand, but can't grasp it.

And a boundary off the last ball after a poor effort in the deep by Gill! 13 off Abhishek's over.

AUS 143/5 (16)

India vs Australia LIVE: OUT! David departs, Dube strikes!

Shivam Dube gets Tim David! Suryakumar Yadav's bold move to hand the ball back to Dube pays dividends, albeit belatedly. David goes for a big shot over cover, but he is caught in the deep by Tilak Varma, who maintains his composure near the boundary line.

End of an astonishing knock by David, who departs for 74 off 38.

AUS 118/5 (13)

India vs Australia LIVE: SIX! SIX!

Suryakumar Yadav hands the ball back to Shivam Dube but the medium pacer simply isn't being able to make an impact today. Marcus Stoinis frees his arms this time, and slams him for back-to-back sixes. One over deep mid-wicket, and the next over deep square-leg.

AUS 117/4 (12.3)

India vs Australia LIVE: 4! 100 up for Australia!

100 up for the hosts! Tim David brings it up with another thumping boundary through the covers. David moves up to 74 with that stroke. Is a second T20I century on the cards for the RCB batter?

AUS 103/4 (12)

India vs Australia LIVE: SIX! SIX!

Nothing can stop Tim David! Two more maximums, and this time against the No. 1 T20I bowler in the world. Two massive hits back over the bowler's head, same result both times - 6! David is up to 70 off 33!

AUS 98/4 (11)

India vs Australia LIVE: Australia 84/4 after 10 overs

Halfway stage in the Australian innings. The hosts have Tim David, and solely Tim David, to thank. India have managed to get the better of every single Aussie batter so far, except David, who has smashed a scintillating fifty.

AUS 84/4 (10)

India vs Australia LIVE: No hattrick for Varun Chakravarthy

Varun Chakravarthy misses out on a hattrick. The hattrick ball drifts down the leg-side, and Stoinis just nudges it to square-leg. Terrific over by the mystery spinner regardless - 3 runs conceded, 2 wickets taken!

AUS 75/4 (9)

India vs Australia LIVE: BOWLED! Varun Chakravarthy on a hattrick!

Clean bowled! Varun Chakravarthy is on a hattrick! Mitchell Owen has been completely outfoxed by the No. 1 T20I bowler in the world. The googly turns back in, and the right-hander has no clue on how to play it. The stumps are knocked over.

AUS 73/4 (8.3)

India vs Australia LIVE: OUT! Varun dismisses Marsh!

Wicket at last for India! Captain Mitchell Marsh departs for 11 off 14. Marsh tries a big shot himself after watching David go berserk at the other end. Doesn't connect, and finds Tilak Varma at long-off. Good catch by Tilak. Varun Chakravarthy delivers a wicket in his second over.

AUS 73/3 (8.2)

India vs Australia LIVE: 4, 4, 4! 50 for Tim David!

Tim David, take a bow! Half-century for the maverick powerhitter. He has slammed Shivam Dube for three boundaries in one over, and he has reached his fifty in just 23 balls. Magnificent batting. He has singlehandedly taken Australia's run-rate from 6 per over to 9!

AUS 71/2 (7.5)

India vs Australia LIVE: SIX, SIX!

TWO SIXES! Tim David is causing carnage here at Hobart. He has taken Axar Patel to the cleaners in his first over. The first maximum is pummelled over extra cover, and the second is smashed straight back over the bowler's head.

David is on 39 off 19!

AUS 57/2 (7)

India vs Australia LIVE: Australia 43/2 after powerplay

End of the powerplay. Australia started off slowly and lost two big wickets at the start. But Tim David accelerated in the final two overs of the powerplay, and will now be aiming to make his lifeline count.

AUS 43/2 (6)

India vs Australia LIVE: DROPPED!

Oh dear! That's a sitter put down by Washington Sundar at backward point. Tim David's shot arrows through to Washington at rapid pace, but he should've done better. The ball goes through his hands. David makes India pay and slams a boundary two balls later through the covers.

AUS 41/2 (5.4)

India vs Australia LIVE: FOUR! SIX!

Lovely shots by Tim David! Interesting call here by Suryakumar Yadav to remove Arshdeep Singh from the attack and bring Varun Chakravarthy in. David capitalises on the bowling change. First, a boundary through the covers and then a tossed up delivery is clobbered for 6 over long-off.

Superb start by David!

AUS 35/2 (4.3)

India vs Australia LIVE: FOUR! FOUR!

Tim David slams a boundary first ball. Lovely deft punch through the covers for 4 against Arshdeep. The powerful right-hander then goes after Bumrah on the next over, and slams another 4 over extra cover!

Nevertheless, another tidy over overall. Australia going at only 6 runs per over after the first 4 overs.

AUS 24/2 (4)

India vs Australia LIVE: OUT! Arshdeep gets Inglis!

GONE! What a start this is by Arshdeep Singh! Josh Inglis pulls but doesn't connect well enough. Straight to Axar Patel at deep square-leg. 2 wickets in his first 2 overs for Arshdeep. Incredible impact, and really justifying the decision taken by Suryakumar and Gambhir to bring him into the playing XI.

AUS 14/2 (2.3)

India vs Australia LIVE: Tidy start by Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah into the attack from the other end, and he bowls a solid first over. After conceding a boundary on the first ball to Mitch Marsh, Bumrah fires back with some excellent deliveries and concedes just 2 more runs in the next 5 balls.

AUS 12/1 (2)

India vs Australia LIVE: FOUR and then OUT!

Dramatic start! Arshdeep Singh gets Travis Head on the third ball of the innings! The left-hander got a boundary away to fine-leg on the second ball of the over, but he ends up mistiming a short delivery on the next ball. The ball goes high up in the air, before captain Suryakumar Yadav takes a good catch.

AUS 6/1 (0.3)

India vs Australia LIVE: All eyes on Arshdeep

With Harshit Rana going out of the XI and Arshdeep Singh re-entering, all eyes will be on the left-arm seamer and how he does with the new ball. Meanwhile, the players are out on the pitch at Hobart. We are moments away from action! It's windy!

India vs Australia, 3rd T20I LIVE: Pitch Report

The average first-innings total in T20s at Bellerive Oval sits around 147, though this number often climbs during evening matches as the pitch generally improves, allowing the ball to come onto the bat nicely. While dew has been a big factor in Hobart, influencing conditions slightly, the toss hasn't been as crucial at this venue as in some other. Hobart certainly holds the potential for large totals; a relevant example is Australia's massive 213 against the West Indies in 2024.

India vs Australia, 3rd T20I LIVE: Sanju Samson Experiment Fails

Sanju Samson, who recently showed his class with a century as an opener in South Africa, was shifted to the middle-order following Shubman Gill's return. However, a string of below-par performances in that middle-order position has led the team management to replace him with Jitesh Sharma, a specialist finisher. If Jitesh performs well in his role, Samson's position in the Indian T20I squad could be under real and immediate threat.

India vs Australia, 3rd T20I LIVE: What The Two Captains Said During Toss

Mitch Marsh: It's a belter of a wicket. Want to get off to a good start and post a big total. We have just the one change - Abbott is in for Hazlewood.

Suryakumar Yadav: We are going to bowl first. The ball will come on nicely to the bat in the 2nd innings. Happy to take it one game at a time. We have three changes - Jitesh, Arshdeep and Washington come in.

India vs Australia, 3rd T20I LIVE: The Playing XIs

Sanju Samson, Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav have been dropped from the Indian team while Jitesh Sharma, Arshdeep Singh and Washington Sundar have replaced them.

India Playing XI: Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah

Australia, on the other hand, have also made one change in their team, with Josh Hazlewood missing out.

Australia Playing XI: Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wk), Tim David, Mitchell Owen, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Short, Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Matthew Kuhnemann

India vs Australia, 3rd T20I LIVE: Toss Update

India captain Suryakumar Yadav has finally beaten his counterpart Mitchell Marsh in the coin toss. India opt to bowl first, making three changes in the team.

India vs Australia, 3rd T20I LIVE: Abhishek Sharma Standing Tall

As the Indian batting order suffered against a clinical Australia pace bowling attack, it was Abhishek Sharma who stood tall. The southpaw will be expected to do more of the same today, but others have to stand up too.

Ind vs Aus, 3rd T20I LIVE: Sanju Samson To Be Benched?

Trailing 0-1 after the first two matches, India have some amends to make in Hobart. Multiple changes are expected to be made to the team for the clash. A straight swap between wicket-keepers Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma is likely. Arshdeep Singh could also replace Harshit Rana.

India's Probable Playing XI: Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Shivam Dube, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah

India vs Australia 3rd T20I LIVE: The Gambhir-Suryakumar Chat

India head coach Gautam Gambhir had an animated conversation with captain Suryakumar Yadav after the team's defeat against Australia. Suryakumar remains the team's skipper but the management could run out of patience if things don't change.

India vs Australia, 3rd T20I LIVE: Weather Update From Hobart

Unlike the first T20I, there's no concern of rain in the third T20I at Hobart. The sky is set have some cloud cover but we are all set to see a complete 40-over game today.

India vs Australia 3rd T20I LIVE: Suryakumar Yadav Under Pressure

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the 3rd T20I between India and Australia from the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. After suffering a hammering at the hands of Australia in the last match, India captain Suryakumar Yadav is under immense pressure. He doesn't just have to ensure that his team bounces back, but he must also resurrect his own form. These are desperate times for him, especially as a batter.
