For the final T20I of the 5-game series, Australia will take on India on Saturday, November 8. The match will be held at The Gabba Stadium in Brisbane at 1:45 PM IST.

Australia

Australia will look to bounce back after a poor batting display in their 48-run defeat. Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa impressed with three wickets each, but the batters couldn’t chase 168. Captain Mitchell Marsh top-scored with 30, while Matthew Short added 25, yet the rest of the lineup struggled for partnerships. 

The middle order’s inconsistency remains a major concern. Australia needs its top order to fire and the bowling unit to replicate its discipline to stay competitive in the final game.

India

India delivered a strong all-round performance in their 48-run win in the previous match. Despite a modest batting effort that saw them post 167 runs, contributions from Shubman Gill (46) and Abhishek Sharma (28) provided stability. 

The bowlers then stole the show, dismissing Australia for just 119. Washington Sundar led with 3 wickets, while Axar Patel and Shivam Dube took two each. With bowlers in top form and key batters finding rhythm, India looks confident heading into the series decider.

AUS vs IND head-to-head overview

India holds a clear upper hand in the T20I rivalry against Australia, winning 22 out of 36 matches since 2007. The Aussies won just 12 games, as 2 contests produced no result.

The Gabba, Brisbane pitch report

The 5th T20 between Australia and India at The Gabba, Brisbane, is expected to offer a lively contest. The pitch here traditionally favours batters with its true bounce and quick outfield. 

However, the surface can assist pacers early on with movement and extra bounce, while spinners might find some grip later in the innings. Teams that adapt quickly to changing conditions and build partnerships are likely to gain the upper hand in this crucial encounter.
