    Digital Desk: The Third Twenty20 match between Matthew Wade's Australia and Suryakumar Yadav's India will take place at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Assam on Tuesday. After defeating the Australians in their previous two games, the Men in Blue will be hoping to win the third Twenty20 of the five-match series to win the championship.

    Like their captain, Surya-led India has appeared vibrant on the field and a little too aggressive with the bat. In their most recent meeting, the Indian team easily defeated Australia by 44 runs, helped along by half-centuries from their top three batsmen and later by left-hander Rinku Singh's barrage.

    Tilak Varma, another left-hander in the team, will be closely watched in the third Twenty20 encounter as there might be changes to the Indian XI, with Shreyas Iyer replacing Ruturaj Gaikwad as vice-captain from the next match. Varma will be seeking to make an impression in the third Twenty20 International to guarantee his spot in the Indian XI after getting out cheaply to Tanvir Sangha in the first game and getting very little time at the crease in the second.

    Team India: 
    Ishan Kishan, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Josh Inglis, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Jason Behrendorff, Ravi Bishnoi

    Match prediction:
    Based on Google's win probability, India has a 55% chance of winning today.

    Meanwhile, CricTracker predicts that India will win regardless of who bats first. According to MyKhel, India is also expected to prevail and seize an unchallenged lead in the series. We believe the Men in Blue, who have shown themselves to be the better team throughout the series, will triumph once more against an exhausted Australian lineup.
