Poor start for Team India as opener KL Rahul departs for one in the very first over. Daniel Sams picks a wicket thanks to a terrific catch by Matthew Wade.

India on top, Australia 6 down
Axar Patel is the biggest positive of this series for me as whenever Rohit needs a wicket he is throwing the ball toward Axar and he is delivering every time. This time he has picked wickets of Josh and Wade in one over.
Another ONE!
Steve Smith 9 (10) stumped by Dinesh Karthik bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal. Brilliant bowling by the leg-spinner. India on top now as Australia lose their fourth wicket.
AUS - 84/4 (9.2 Overs), Inglis 9 (8)
GONE!
A direct hit and Glenn Maxwell is gone for 6 off 11. Runout by Axar Patel. Josh Inglis comes in to bat now. India gain a little bit of moment after two wickets in quick succession.
AUS - 75/3 (8 Overs), Smith 9 (9) & Inglis 1 (1)
Kumar removes Green
Bhuvi gets rewarded for the disciplined bowling as Green departs after a 19-ball fifty. Australia are 62 with one over in powerplay to go.
Axar provides the breakthrough
Axar Patel is yet again in the wickets as he removes Australia captain Aaron Finch after a blistering start by Cameron Green. India need the wicket of Green otherwise he will make a fifty inside the powerplay.
India vs Australia, 3rd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
AUS 23/0 (2) CRR: 11.5
Australia could not have asked for a better start. Green is the one who is attacking while Finch is waiting for his turn. Three boundaries and a six for Green so far.
Here we go then! Bhubaneshwar Kumar has the new ball for Team India. Cameron Green and Aaron Finch will look to give a solid start to Australia.
Both team captains at the toss
Aaron Finch - We would have fielded as well, it looks like a good wicket though. We always want to perform against the best sides, in that sense, this is a very important game for us. The crowds in India have always been amazing, regardless of where they play. One change for us. Josh Inglis comes in place of Sean Abbott.
Rohit Sharma - We will bowl first. It's good to be back in Hyderabad and play in front of this crowd. We look to keep winning games, it's important to maintain your momentum in this format of the game, so it was a good win for us (in Nagpur). Australia have always been challenging, they bring in a different kind of challenge. We need to keep doing the basics right if we have to get success. The last win helped us gain confidence and I hope everyone steps up today. One change for us - Bhuvi is back, Rishabh misses out, we needed only 4 bowlers in the last game, so he (Bhuvneshwar) unfortunately missed out.

Toss Report
India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to field first against Aaron Finch's Australia in the third and final match of the T20I series here at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on Sunday.
Pitch Report by Murali Kartik and Ajit Agarkar
It's a fairly large surface with even-sized boundaries on both sides of the square. It's another good batting surface, the grass has been well rolled. Dew wouldn't be a factor tonight, but the captain winning the toss could still be looking at chasing down the score. Defending wouldn't be easy as the ball could come onto the bat even better under lights. In short, this is a belter.

Series Decider = Thrilling Game
Hello ladies and gentlemen, This is your host Akash Kharade and I am back with the Zee News' live coverage of India vs Australia 3rd T20I from Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. This is a series decider and a thrilling match is on the cards. Stay tuned!
An eight-over-a-side is too short a game to analyze and gain anything from. The action takes place too fast and the teams go into it with only one plan -- to score as many runs as possible or restrict the opposition within the target. However, India can still take some positives from Friday's 8-over slugfest against Australia at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium in Nagpur. Top-most on that list would be the impactful and scintillating innings by skipper Rohit Sharma that set India on course to victory. Then there was the bowling of spinner Axar Patel, the left-arm spinner allrounder who came in as a like-for-like substitute for Ravindra Jadeja, who is out with an injury, who claimed 2-13 from his two overs.
Skipper Rohit Sharma has been batting well at the top of the order, he has not been domineering and at his authoritative best in the last few matches. On Friday, he played an impactful inning, hitting the ball cleanly and to a big distance, attacking the Australian bowlers from the start.
