The Men in Blue have had an incredibly bad luck with the toss, with Shubman Gill ending up on the losing side in all three ODIs of the recent series. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav also lost the coin toss in the first two T20Is of the series.

Notably, the Asian Giants have lost 18 tosses in a row in 50-over internationals, including the third ODI of the tour. The streak began during the 2023 World Cup final against Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The visitors have carried out three changes, bringing in Arshdeep, Jitesh Sharma and Washington Sundar for Harshit Rana, Sanju Samson and Kuldeep Yadav.

Australia, meanwhile, made only one change as Sean Abbott came in for Josh Hazlewood. The hosts took a 1-0 lead in the second T20I at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) with a four-wicket victory as they chased down 126.

This is also the first T20I between India and Australia at the Bellerive Oval.
