India has won the first two games of the series, taking a 2-0 lead. In the second Twenty20 International, India thrashed Australia by 44 runs to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series at Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday.
Australia, chasing a formidable 236 points, was limited to 191 for nine within the allotted 20 overs. Australia lost their top four for 58 runs in the powerplay after being struck twice by Ravi Bishnoi (3/32). Additionally, Glenn Maxwell (12) fell cheaply. Marcus Stoinis then took the lead in the chase with a lightning knock. However, Mukesh Kumar (1/43) ended his 45-run innings to provide the breakthrough. Prasidh Krishna (3/41) also returned with three wickets.
Sneak peek:
During the last overs of a Twenty20 Indian Premier League match in Trivandrum on Sunday, when India was playing with Australian bowlers, the typical Indian cricket fan was not paying attention to cricket. A stunning IPL transaction that easily diverted attention from the real cricket action—which, unfortunately, featured some IPL regulars demonstrating their readiness for a permanent move up—was in the works.
For those who follow Indian cricket, this has been an interesting week. In the 50-over format, a World Cup trophy that appeared poised to become India's third deviated at the last minute, becoming Australia's sixth. The big, juicy IPL developments, according to cynics, are only a diversion from the national team's embarrassing performance on the big stage.
But since that tragic Sunday, there have been international cricket matches played in Trivandrum and Vizag, which is anything but that.
With another World Cup in less than seven months, India and every other nation outside Australia hardly have time to dwell on their World Cup performance. In the run-up to the T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies in June of next year, India will play three matches on Tuesday, out of just eleven total.
Australia may still be in the mood for the World Cup, but they also have a lot riding on the event the following year. They broke their World Cup drought in this format in 2021, but the very following year they were unable to go to the semifinals.
Thus, the 2024 competition offers them one more opportunity to fill this trophy cabinet section, which appears fairly empty in contrast to the others. However, the mission's beginning has been a little wobbly thus far, with two losses in as many attempts to both set a target and pursue it. Of course, they have only gradually been bringing back a handful of their World Cup regulars, while Warner, Cummins, Starc, Cameron Green, and Mitchell Marsh have all had well-earned sabbaticals.
In one of the two games, they were still competitive enough to push a strong Indian team deep. They will be keen to step it up and extend this series past Tuesday's third game. The idea and sight of an early series sweep must make India's eyes sparkle, as they too lack some of their biggest players.
When: Tuesday, November 28, 2023, 7:00 p.m. local time, India vs. Australia, 3rd T20I
Where: Guwahati's Barsapara Cricket Stadium
What to anticipate: A muggy evening is in store. Less clarity exists in the conditions because the two earlier Twenty20 Internationals at the venue transpired in quite different ways. India suffered a low-scoring defeat in 2017 when they were bowled out for 118 while batting first against Australia. They scored 237 against South Africa in 2022, a total that the visitors nearly surpassed thanks to David Miller's 47-ball 106*.
Group News
India
In an attempt to conclude the five-match series as soon as possible, the hosts proceeded without alteration in Trivandrum and are probably going to do the same in Guwahati. The final few games may then present opportunities.
Australia
Pacers are performing better at this location, therefore Jason Behrendorff might return. When Australia last played here in 2017, he concluded with figures of 4 for 21, which laid the groundwork for the visitors' decisive victory.
Were you aware?
- The terrible shape of Rinku Singh is not brand-new. He shown his big-hitting abilities at the domestic level prior to his 22 (14) and 31* (9), smashing 256 runs in 7 innings at a strike rate of 170.66 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
- Adam Zampa had taken 12 wickets in 14 Twenty20 Internationals against India prior to this series. He was held without a wicket by the Indian batting lineup during the Trivandrum match.
What they expressed:
"I thought Rinku shown incredible poise when he batted in the opening Twenty20 International. It made me think of someone, hehe. Everyone is aware of the solution (laughs again)." - Suryakumar Yadav about Rinku Singh's heroics at the end.
