AUS vs IND Fantasy Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – 3rd T20 Match, India Tour of Australia, 2025

Match Preview

Despite having one of the strongest batting line-ups in the world, India struggled against Australia’s fiery pace department. Except for Abhishek Sharma, none of the batsmen were able to make an impact, and that cost India the match. However, the team will hope to recover from that poor outing and level the series.

Australia will be pumped by the way they played on Friday. Their bowling has been outstanding throughout this series and could again play a key role for them. However, the team will be without the services of Josh Hazlewood, which takes some of the bite off the seam attack.

Nevertheless, the return of Glenn Maxwell provides a big boost to the batting line-up.

Injuries & Illnesses

There are no reports of injuries from either side.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We are expecting a good cricketpitch at the Bellerive Oval. There is something for everyone, and toss isn’t much of a factor. The new ball swings a bit, but once the batsmen settle, they can play the big shots comfortably. The team batting first will look to score at least 175-180 runs.

The weather will remain pleasant, but cloudy. While there is no forecast for rain, we could see some dew as the evening progresses.

AUS vs IND Fantasy Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Josh Inglis is our top choice in this category. Sanju Samson hasn’t been in the best of form, while Inglis has done a decent job with the bat and is also sharp behind the stumps.

Batters

Abhishek Sharma and Mitchell Marsh played well in the previous match and are the top picks. We are also selecting Travis Head, given his explosive batting style.

All Rounders

Both teams have some quality all-rounders to choose from. Our top picks include Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, and Matthew Short.

Bowlers

The bowlers have played a vital role in this tour, and that trend is likely to continue. We are selecting Jasprit Bumrah and Nathan Ellis in the seam department, while Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy are the two specialist spinners.

AUS vs IND Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are nominating Abhishek Sharma as the captain of our team. He has been in excellent form this year and is coming into this contest on the back of a scintillating half-century.

Vice-Captain

Glenn Maxwell is our choice for the vice-captain. Coming back from an injury, he is a quality all-rounder who can contribute with the bat and the ball.
