Glenn Maxwell speaks after his match-winning hundred
Glenn Maxwell | Player of the Match: It all went pretty quickly. It was hard work for them to bowl yorkers with so much dew. We didn’t really have a number in mind. Knew we would be in the game if we could take it down to the final over. Wade had to be out there to cash in with Axar having one over left towards the end. Wade was brilliant out there, the way he went helped me as well.
Matthew Wade speaks on Australia's win
Matthew Wade | Australia captain: You don't get much better than that. It was hard work. Injury to Kane (Richardson) threw a spanner in the works and had to bowl Maxi in the last over. He played brilliantly, got a 100 in his 100th T20I. Wouldn't say I was confident, I was a bit grumpy going in at the halfway mark. Thought we were in the game at 190 after the 19th over but the last over went for 30. Richardson hurt himself so I was one over short. All in good fun in the end, Maxi probably wouldn't have got a 100 if he didn't toss up 30 in that over. The boys are in good spirits, hopefully we can pinch another one in the next game and take it down to the last game.
Suryakumar Yadav speaks on India's loss
Suryakumar Yadav | India captain: The plan was to get Maxi out as quickly as possible. To defend 220 with so much dew, have to give something to the bowlers. Australia were always in the game. Told the boys we’ll try and get him (Maxwell) out quickly but it didn’t happen, it was insane. Axar is an experienced bowler, thought there’s always a chance for an experienced bowler even if it’s a spinner when there’s dew. Very proud of my boys.

The young guns are firing well, as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rinku Singh have performed extremely well for them so far. On the other hand, Australia have done well with the bat but the same can’t be said about their bowling unit.
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, they lack flair and experience, which is extremely needed while playing in Indian conditions. Interestingly, a lot of senior cricketers, who were part of the ODI World Cup squad will be travelling back after the third T20I and hence, the Kangaroos will be aiming to deliver a strong performance.
Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati will host the match. The surface is usually slow and assists the spinners but once settled, the batters can score some quick runs. Bowling first will be ideal as dew is likely to play a huge part in the second innings while anything over 180 runs should be a competitive total.
Meanwhile, the focus will once again be on the young Indian cricketers as the aim is to build a solid core team for the upcoming T20 World Cup. The players who impress the most will get an opportunity for the upcoming series against South Africa and hence, they can’t afford to make any mistakes at the moment as the opportunities are very limited. It's the same for Australia as the youngsters will have to prove a point to stay alive in the race.
