In the ongoing five-match T20I series, Suryakumar Yadav-led India faces Australia at Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati for the third game. After winning two back-to-back matches, India is looking to seal the series in Guwahati. Meanwhile, Australia is looking for a win to stay alive in the series.
After being forced to bat first, India posted another daunting total. Despite losing two quick wickets to Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan, India continued to hammer the Aussie bowling line-up.
