On Tuesday, November 28, cricket fans will witness a gripping clash between India and Australia in the third T20I of their five-match series. Having secured wins in the initial two encounters, India is on the cusp of claiming the series trophy with a potential victory on Tuesday. Their last match on Sunday showcased a dominant performance, resulting in a convincing 44-run win.

Head to Head - In terms of historical matchups, India holds a favorable record against Australia in T20Is. Over their 16-year history in this format, the two teams have engaged in 28 matches, with India boasting a 17-10 win/loss record, and one match concluding without a result.

Pitch Report - The Barsapara Cricket Stadium, known for traditionally slow wickets, has seen a notable shift in dynamics. The most recent international clash at the venue revealed a more batting-friendly environment, witnessing an impressive 400-plus runs in the T20I between India and South Africa in October 2022. Across the three T20Is hosted at the stadium, the average score stands at 118, with an even split between teams batting first and chasing. Dew on the ground might influence the captain's decision to opt for bowling first.
