India will look to stop Australia from extending their lead in the five-match T20I series after a humiliating defeat at the MCG. These two teams will clash in the third match in Hobart on Sunday, November 2. Australia The first game might have resulted in a washout, but still, the Aussies stayed firm to register a thrilling four-wicket victory in the second game, taking a 1-0 lead already. The hosts chased down a modest total of 126 runs in just 13.2 overs, thanks to the brilliant 46-run knock from Mitchell Marsh that came in just 26 balls. Earlier, Josh Hazlewood wreaked havoc on the Indian batting lineup, taking three wickets at the top. Australia might miss Hazlewood for the three matches, but they will get a boost from the return of Ben Dwarshuis and star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. India India's dominant streak in the T20I format came to an end after a terrible performance at the MCG. They suffered a 4-wicket defeat, their first loss in this format in 17 long years. While batting first, they were bundled out for a mere 125 runs, thanks to the resilient knocks from Abhishek Sharma (68) and Harshit Rana (35) that helped the visitors to cross the triple-digit mark. With just three matches to go, India will aim to bounce back before another series slips away from their hand.
