The picturesque Bellerive Oval in Hobart hosts an important T20I in the context of the Australia-India series. Match one was washed out in Canberra, before the second match in Melbourne thankfully went ahead uninterrupted after rain during the day.
This will be India’s first-ever T20I at this ground. Australia played two T20Is in Hobart in 2024, beating West Indies and Pakistan. So, what does the Hobart weather have in store on Sunday? Here is a look at the forecast.
Hobart weather for AUS vs IND 3rd T20I: Warm day forecast
The Bureau of Meteorology forecasts a top of 27 degrees for Hobart. However, there is a medium chance of showers later in the day, but it hopefully won’t be enough to threaten the match.
“Mostly sunny day. Medium chance of showers, most likely at night,” reads the forecast. “Winds north to northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h tending north to northeasterly 15 to 25 km/h in the morning then turning northwesterly in the late afternoon.”
AccuWeather forecasts a “mostly cloudy and warmer” day with a top of 26 degrees. In good news, the platform predicts no rain to fall with cloudy conditions during the match hours. This may potentially limit the amount of dew in the second innings.
Chasing is the way to go in T20s on this ground. The team batting second won five of the seven men’s BBL games last season.
The 3rd Australia-India T20I begins at 7:15pm local time. Expect the captain who wins the toss to choose to bowl.
