Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India and Mitchell Marsh-led Australia are taking the field at The Gabba in Brisbane for the fifth and final T20 match of the five-match series today. The toss for the match goes in favour of Australia who opted to bowl first. The first match of the series ended in a no contest due to rain. Australia won the second match in Melbourne to go 1-0 up before India bounced back and secured easy wins in Hobart and Queensland to take a 2-1 lead going into the final game. A win for India in Brisbane will help them seal the series 3-1, while Australia will leave no stone unturned to end the series 2-2 on level terms.
The Men in Blue have found the perfect combination and are unlikely to tinker with it for the decisive game on Saturday. However, skipper Suryakumar’s form with the bat might be a point of concern for the visitors.
On the other hand, Australia will be looking to find answers to India’s middle-over pressure and their own lack of experience in the bowling department. They will need their batters to step up if they want to win the final game at The Gabba and end the series 2-2.
