India (IND) will lock horns in the fourth match with Australia (AUS) in a five-match T20I series. The match is all set to take place on Friday, December 1, 2023, at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur, India at 7:00 PM IST.
Ahead of the game, here is a look at the top player picks, the important player stats, the top captain and vice-captain choices, and the best predicted XI for the fantasy contests of this encounter.
After winning the first two matches of the five-match T20I series against Australia, India lost the third fixture by a margin of five wickets. Men in Blue will look forward to bounce back in the fourth clash of the series. In the third match, Ruturaj Gaikwad’s unbeaten century powered the hosts to 223/3 in 20 overs, but a century from Glenn Maxwell helped the visitors win the match by five wickets, and hence, recorded their first victory pulling the series back to 2-1.
On the other hand, Australia has seemingly continued their World Cup hangover with two poor performances in the first two games. But despite another below-par bowling effort, the batters stepped up to chase down the massive 223-run target. As mentioned earlier, the bowling hasn’t been at its best, barring Jason Behrendoff.
