Pre-Match Analysis:

India showcased their bowling strength to the fullest and successfully defended 174 runs in the 4th T20I to take the series with a game left. Axar Patel was ruthless with his spin web, picking up 3 wickets at an economy of 4 while Ravi Bishnoi too cut down the runs picking up a wicket, the comeback man Deepak Chahar bagged 2 crucial wickets. Earlier openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad put up a good show, scoring 30-odd runs each, later Jitesh Sharma and Rinku Singh were outstanding in the middle order adding vital runs to take the team total to more than 170 runs. Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar who have been warming the bench are likely to get a game.

Australia’s weakness over spin was exposed for one more time as they fell short in the 4th T20I by 20 runs and dropped the series as well. An inexperienced bowling line-up consisting of Ben Dwarshuis, Jason Behrendorff, and Tanveer Sangha did exceedingly to keep India for 174 however lost their plot later in the innings. Skipper Matthew Wade’s fighting knock of unbeaten 36* runs went in vain in the end. They are likely to make one or two changes for the dead rubber on Sunday.
