IND vs AUS Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Sep 25, 2022
India managed to square the series with a close but comprehensive win in the second T20. That match was shortened due to poor playing conditions but thankfully, the forecast in Hyderabad is much better. There is a short turnaround time for both teams and so teams are unlikely to be able to change anything dramatically.
The balance for both teams should be a bit different since they will now require all five bowlers to play.
Match prediction and cricket betting tips for India vs Australia 3rd T20 2022. The match will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on the 25th of September 2022.
IND vs AUS Team Previews
India
India was brilliant with the bat once more, led by Rohit Sharma, but we also thought it was impressive that India managed to change its bowling plans a little. The batting order for this series is pretty much set. Rohit Sharma, KL, Rahul, and Virat Kohli in the top-3 with SKY and Pandya to follow. Dinesh Karthik also showed why the team management rates him so highly and he will play.
The only question is over Rishab Pant. In an ideal world, Hardik Pandya would bowl his four overs and India could play both Pant and DK. For the time being, the options are to trust Pandya, bring back Bhuvneshwar Kumar, or maybe replace Pant with Hooda who can bowl a few overs.
We are hoping that the Indian team goes with option one or three but we will come to know at the toss.
Either way, India's batting is powerful and will be aggressive. Betting on the number of boundaries and sixes seems like a good option here. Also, Axar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah were the standout bowlers for India. These are the only two bowlers we trust enough to bet on right now.
India Playing 11
Lokesh Rahul, Rohit Sharma, V Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, JJ Bumrah, YS Chahal.
Australia
Australia is such a strong cricketing nation with an incredible amount of depth. It may have lost the second T20 but it still pushed India to the brink. Aaron Finch has been getting very quick starts, Cameron Green seems to have the license to attack from ball one, and Matthew Wade is just in incredible touch.
We have yet to see the best of Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, or Tim David, all of whom are match-winners as well.
Australia's batting is as strong as India's and on a given day, it can be much more powerful. Once again, betting on the number of fours and sixes seems like a good idea in this match.
Australia's best bowler in the shortened match was Adam Zampa. His match-up with Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli is quite good. He got two of them in the previous match and could be introduced early once more. The rest of the bowling has been expensive and Australia has a lot to think about as well.
Australia Playing 11
Aaron Finch, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Matthew Wade, Josh Inglis, Steven Smith, Pat Cummins, Daniel Sams, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.
IND vs AUS Toss Prediction
The team that wins the toss is going to want to field first. That should be seen as having a significant advantage. The only completed T20 international at Hyderabad was won by the chasing team. 57% of all IPL matches played at this venue have been won by the chasing team as well.

Pitch and Conditions
There is no rain predicted on match day and we hope that we get a full uninterrupted match to enjoy. As far as the surface goes, a flat batting surface is expected. 208 was chased down with ease when India played here last with Virat Kohli scoring 94 not out.
The average score batting first in the IPL is 157 but Hyderabad has not hosted a match since 2019. The game has changed a lot in that time and with an emphasis on scoring, we think something closer to 180 should be seen as par.
IND vs AUS Betting Tips
We are going to back India in this match. We think the batting lineups of both teams are evenly matched but the spin-bowling advantage that India has will play a big role. The boundaries at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium are quite large and allow the spinners to play a big role.
The odds being offered for India's win are a bit shorter than we would like but we still think that is the right decision to make.
Bet on India to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
There were 13 sixes hit in the Indian inning alone in the first match! Australia then followed that with nine of its own. There were 10 sixes hit int he second match (less than half the length of a normal T20). We think betting Over 12.5 sixes is definitely the way to go here.
We think this is another very favorable Over/Under line. Finch and Green have attacked from the very start and with the Indian attack struggling to find consistency, there is every chance they will help the team get off to another flier.
