India made three changes for the third T20I against Australia in Hobart, bringing in Jitesh Sharma, Arshdeep Singh, and Washington Sundar in place of Sanju Samson, Harshit Rana, and Kuldeep Yadav. Australia made a single change, with Sean Abbott replacing pacer Josh Hazlewood.
The visitors will aim to bounce back after losing the second T20I, with the first match in Canberra washed out due to rain. This match also marks India’s first-ever T20I at the Bellerive Oval.
