After winning the first two matches, Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India will face Matthew Wade’s Australia in the third T20I on Tuesday (November 28). The must-win match for the Aussies is scheduled to take place at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. In the first two T20Is, Indian batters have performed exceedingly well and scored in excess of 200 runs, but the bowlers have failed to keep a check on the Men in Yellow batters, who are missing the services of T20I captain Mitchell Marsh, opening batter David Warner, and the fast-bowling trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins.

If India manages to get the better of Australia in Guwahati on Tuesday, then the Men in Blue will seal the T20I series. For the third match, India could make as many as two changes to the playing XI from the team that played in the first two matches under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav. In place of star left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, India could include Avesh Khan in the playing XI. Arshdeep has conceded runs at an economy of more than 10 per over in the first two matches.

Apart from him, Tamil Nadu all-rounder Washington Sundar could also get a game against Australia in place of Axar Patel, who has looked ordinary in the first two matches.

Apart from these two, there’s no chance of any change in the playing XI, which means star all-rounder Shivam Dube and wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma will remain on the bench. Jitesh was expected to keep the wickets in the T20I matches, but the team management preferred Ishan Kishan for the first couple of games, and he sealed his spot by scoring back-to-back half-centuries.

As for the Aussies, it will be interesting to see if they include ODI World Cup 2023 final hero Travis Head in the playing XI. The star left-handed opening batter, who scored 137 runs in the final played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 19 to break millions of Indian hearts, missed the first couple of matches.

India’s likely playing XI for the 3rd T20I against Australia: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar, and Prasidh Krishna
