Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium average score in T20: The SportsRush brings you the highest T20I run chase in Hyderabad.

The 3-match T20I series between India and Australia has reached its business end. Australia won the Mohali T20I, whereas India made a brilliant comeback in Nagpur. Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is set to host the series decider.

Ahead of the match, a lot happened regarding getting the match tickets, but it is now time for the cricketing action. The way Rohit Sharma batted in the last match, will give a lot of confidence to the Indian team. However, death bowling is still an issue for the home side.

Australia lost the 2nd match, but the way Aaron Finch batted was simply brilliant for the visitors. Matthew Wade has been delivering some excellent performances as a finisher of the side. With the players like Glenn Maxwell, Tim David and Cameron Green, this Australian side has some match winners in their ranks.

However, this pitch is great for batting, and the match between India and West Indies here in 2019 was a run-scoring contest, where both teams scored in excess of 200 runs.
