India vs Australia, 3rd T20I Predicted XI: Will India persist with Harshal Patel in all-important series decider?

India vs Australia, 3rd T20I: Harshal Patel hasn't had a great outing thus far in the series, having not being able to pick up a single wicket and leaking runs at an economy rate of 13.50.

Both India and Australia will have their task cut out when they face each other in the third and final T20I on Sunday, September 25, to be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

With the series on the line, the two top teams will be looking to get the better of each other. After losing the first game in Mohali, the Men in Blue made a comeback with a six-wicket victory on Friday at VCA Stadium in Mohali.

However, despite the win, the hosts were faced with some selection conundrums. Fast bowler Harshal Patel hasn’t had a great run thus far in the series. In two matches, the speedster didn’t pick up a wicket and went for 81 runs in six overs.

It remains to be seen if India give Deepak Chahar a chance in place of Harshal. In the previous game, India included both Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik in the playing eleven.

Australia, led by Aaron Finch, have had their fair share of problems as well. Nathan Ellis missed the previous game due to injury and his replacement, Daniel Sams, leaked 20 runs in 1.2 overs.

Kane Richardson is another option the Aussies have up their sleeves. The visitors would also be a tad worried about the form of Glenn Maxwell, who has scored one run at an average of 0.50.
