The Indian team showcased their batting prowess in Vizag, posting their fifth-highest T20I total of 235 runs for four wickets, thanks to stellar half-centuries from Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. The bowling department, led by Ravi Bishnoi and Prasidh Krishna, who each took three wickets, successfully restricted the Australian side.
Australia, on the other hand, is facing a challenging situation in the series. Travis Head, who played a pivotal role in the World Cup final, was given a rest for the first two T20Is. Captain Matthew Wade believed Head needed a break after his World Cup exertions. Glenn Maxwell, who underperformed in the previous match, will be looking to improve his performance in the upcoming game. The Australian team is in a critical position, needing a win in Guwahati to keep their hopes alive in the series.
Regarding the weather conditions for the match in Guwahati, forecasts indicate no significant chance of rain. A mild cloud cover of about 20 percent is expected, but it's unlikely to lead to any precipitation. The playing conditions should be favorable, with temperatures hovering between 19 and 21 degrees Celsius.
However, the humidity levels are predicted to be relatively high, ranging in the mid to high 90s. The air quality is anticipated to be 'unhealthy,' with wind speeds around 11 km/h throughout the day.
This upcoming match presents a crucial juncture for both teams, with India aiming to seal the series and Australia fighting to stay in contention. The favorable weather conditions, combined with the talent and determination of both teams, set the stage for a thrilling cricket encounter in Guwahati.
