After taking a 2-1 lead in the fourth T20I played at Gold Coast on Thursday, Team India aim for T20I series glory in the fifth and final match against Australia in Brisbane on Saturday, November 8. Suryakumar Yadav’s men went 2-1 up in the rain-marred series, where the opener in Canberra got washed out, ensuring they secured one hand on the trophy. Team India backed its victory in Hobart with another triumph at the Carrara Oval in Queensland, winning by a huge margin of 48 runs. Put into bat after losing the toss, the tourists had their preferred opening combination of Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma stitching a critical stand of 56 runs. While the in-form Abhishek missed out upon getting 28 off 21, his partner Gill showed signs of improved intent in the powerplay for what eventually turned out to be an impactful knock of 46 off 39 balls. In the pursuit of accelerating further after the field restriction phase, India suffered multiple hiccups. But a cameo of 21* off 11 deliveries by all-rounder Axar Patel pushed them to 167. That proved to be more than enough on a two-paced surface, as Australia got bundled out for just 119 after Axar backed his fantastic innings with a pair of breakthroughs for just 20 runs off his 4 overs. India also had Shivam Dube (2/20) and Washington Sundar (3/3) getting the bulk of the wickets, while ace bowlers Jasprit Bumrah (1/27) and Varun Chakravarthy (1/26) controlled the game at their end. Captain Mitchell Marsh’s fluent 30 ended as the highest score for the Aussies in a sorry batting display that they would be desperate to improve upon at the Gabba.
