IND vs AUS Dream11 Team Prediction (3rd T20I), Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's Cricket Match - Dec 8th, 2020

The third T20I between India and Australia is scheduled to take place at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday.

After a disappointing ODI series, Team India have come back strong in the T20Is with two convincing performances. Hardik Pandya and T Natarajan were on song in Sydney as India registered their 9th T20I win on the trot.

Although the 3-match series is done and dusted, India will look for a clean sweep against the Aussies, who have been hit by a few injury concerns.

In the absence of the likes of David Warner and Aaron Finch, the hosts were able to come up with a decent performance on Sunday. With Matthew Wade looking in good form at the top of the order, Australia will look to salvage some pride in the third and final T20I.

Momentum is on the tourists' side, but one cannot take the Aussies lightly, especially in their own backyard. With both teams looking to build towards the Test series with a win in this game, we should be in for a cracking contest.

Pitch Report

The pitch, as seen in the previous T20I, is a good one to bat on with the ball skidding on nicely under the lights.

The pacers didn't get much help from the surface, and changes of pace might be their only option. With the ball holding up a bit, the spinners will have an important role to play.

Batsmen will look to target the shorter boundary. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 170-180 being par at this venue.
