IND vs AUS 3rd T20: The third T20 match of the five-match series between India and Australia will take place today, November 2, at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

With the series standing at 1-0 in Australia’s favour, Suryakumar Yadav and his team will be determined to level the contest with a win in Hobart.

India vs Australia 3rd T20: Where to watch and live streaming details
Fans can watch the match live on the Star Sports Network, while the live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar and JioCinema.
India will be hoping for a strong comeback after a disappointing performance in Melbourne. Abhishek Sharma’s impressive knock of 68 runs went in vain as the rest of the Indian batting line-up failed to cope with Josh Hazlewood’s disciplined bowling. However, there’s a silver lining for India – Hazlewood will not be available for the remaining matches of the series, which could ease the pressure on their top order.
Meanwhile, Australia will be boosted by the return of all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, who is set to make his comeback after recovering from injury. His presence adds both stability and firepower to the Australian side.
