India will take on Australia in the fourth match of the five-match T20I series on Friday at the Carrara Oval, Gold Coast, Queensland. The first game was a washout, and in the next two games, both India and Australia won one game each. It is important to note that this is the first time 'Men in Blue' will be playing a T20I match at this venue. 

In a significant development, Australia has won the toss and opted to bowl first for the fourth game. Talking about the team changes, India is playing with the same team that featured in the 3rd T20I. 

On the other hand, Australia has made four changes in the playing XI. Adam Zampa, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Philippe, and Ben Dwarshuis have replaced Sean Abbott, Mitchell Owen, Matthew Kuhnemann, and Travis Head.  

TOSS UPDATE: Australia have won the toss and opted to bowl.

India vs Australia: Captains Thought

Suryakumar Yadav (India Captain): "Absolutely, this is why you play bilaterals to challenge yourself (on series tied at 1-1). Beautiful stadium, beautiful ground, a big one. Everything to play for. Looks like a typical subcontinent wicket, might slow down as the game goes on, we are happy to bat first. Put runs on the board and take up that challenge.

We are going with the same team."

Mitchell Marsh (Australia Captain): "We are going to bowl first. We don't play a lot here, to be honest. Good to be here at the Gold Coast. One of the places to visit. Obviously, looking forward to having as much information about the surface as we can.

Yes, it is great. A five-match series being levelled 1-1 and going down to the last two matches. I am sure both the teams are pumped up. 4 changes. Zampa, Maxwell, Philippe and Dwarshuis come in for 4 other guys."
