Australia vs India, 3rd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Build Up:

Two games played. And both games affected by rain. Due to inclement weather, the three-match T20I rubber between Australia and India has turned out to be a a bit of an anti climax so far.

There was some drama and action in the first game in Brisbane, where Marcus Stoinis held his nerve in the final over to pilot the hosts to a nail-biting four-run victory via the DLS Method.

In the second match at the iconic MCG stadium, India made a strong comeback. Khaleel and Bumrah shared two spoils each while the spinners bowled with discipline and skill to restrict Australia to 132 for 7 (19 overs). However, rain had the final say and the game was called off.

Can the visitors build on their fine display at the MCG? It has to be observed that India haven't lost a T20I rubber over nine consecutive series. Meanwhile, the Aaron Finch-led side would be looking to turn their fortunes around. A series win could give the beleaguered Australian set-up the much-needed fillip.

The home side also would be boosted by the return of their spearhead Starc. The left-arm pacer, who hasn't played a T20I since 2016, will replace the injured Stanlake.

On a positive note, the weather for the highly anticipated game looks promising.

Here's something on the young left-arm pacer form Rajasthan, Khaleel Ahmed.
