Hobart Weather Forecast: Will Rain Affect 3rd India vs Australia T20I at Bellerive Oval?

Will rain disrupt the ongoing T20I series between Australia and India again after the Canberra washout? The weather forecast for Sunday, 2 November, at Hobart’s Bellerive Oval is crucial for the third T20I.

Series Context

India is once again trailing Australia in this white-ball tour Down Under. The series began with a promising batting display by India in Canberra, but persistent rain led the umpires to abandon the match.

Melbourne Setback

In the second match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, India’s batting faltered, collapsing and getting bowled out for a low total of 125. Abhishek Sharma’s dynamic 68 and Harshit Rana’s unexpected 35 were bright spots; without them, India might not have crossed 100 runs.

Though India showed resilience with the ball afterward, the explosive opening partnership between Australia’s captain Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head during the powerplay set the tone for a smooth chase.

Upcoming Match Outlook

The teams meet Sunday at Bellerive Oval, Hobart, Tasmania. While it’s not a do-or-die game for Suryakumar Yadav and his team, a second consecutive loss would severely damage India’s series hopes. Victory is essential to keep their chances alive.

"Had it not been for Abhishek Sharma’s explosive 68 and Harshit Rana’s surprise cameo of 35, the visitors might have not have even made it past 100."
"All it took was one explosive opening partnership between captain Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head in the powerplay to lay the foundation for a successful chase."

Author’s summary: The looming Hobart weather adds suspense to the crucial third T20I between India and Australia, where India must win to stay alive in the series.
