The stage is set for the season's final showdown between India and Australia as the two nations head to Bangalore's iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium for the fifth T20I of the series on Sunday (December 3). Men in Blue strive to continue their rich vein of form after taking an unassailable 3-1 lead in Raipur against the historic arch-rivals. 

Suryakumar Yadav-led side clinched comprehensive victories in Visakhapatnam and Thiruvananthapuram before overcoming a hiccup in Guwahati with another allround display in the last match. They would be determined to make it 4-1 and retain their successful run for the five-match series. 

For the Aussies, it's a chance to restore pride after going down badly in three of the past four matches, with their inexperienced backup arsenal being woefully exposed in all departments of the game by India's second-string line-up. They need to pull their socks up in the bowling and their techniques versus India's spin twins Ravi Bishnoi and Axar Patel. 

M Chinnaswamy Stadium Ground Stats 

Fittingly, it's a batting paradise in M Chinnaswamy Stadium, slated to host the final game of the high-scoring series where batters from both sides have ruled the roost and belted fours and sixes for fun on flat pitches. Another such deck is in the offing when the two sides collide again in Bengaluru. 

Eight previous T20 Internationals have been played at the state-of-the-art venue in the city with huge totals and under lights, with dew being the two regular features. The ground favours the chasing sides extensively, with only two times the team batting first going on to win the match. 

It would make toss a crucial factor in the fifth T20I. Indian skipper Suryakumar would want to win the flip of the coin and put his young team through the chasing test after winning the previous match batting first.
