Hobart, November 2 — India showcased a commanding all-round display to defeat Australia by five wickets in the third T20 International at the Bellerive Oval, keeping their hopes alive in the series with a spirited run chase.
Australia posted an imposing 186 for six after opting to bat, driven by Tim David’s explosive 74 off 38 balls and Marcus Stoinis’ brisk 64. However, India’s disciplined bowling in the death overs, led by Arshdeep Singh’s three-wicket burst, curtailed Australia’s momentum and proved vital in setting up the chase.
In reply, India’s batting lineup responded with determination and flair. Washington Sundar’s aggressive 49 anchored the innings, while Jitesh Sharma provided the finishing touch, hitting a boundary to seal victory with nine balls to spare. The visitors overcame early jitters through steady partnerships and calm execution under pressure.
The win narrows Australia’s lead in the series and highlights India’s depth and composure in crunch moments, even in the absence of several senior players. The Hobart triumph has set up the remainder of the series as a thrilling battle between two evenly matched sides.
