Overview
- The five-match series is level at 1-1, and victory in the fourth T20I will ensure the winner cannot lose the series heading into the finale.
- Play is scheduled at Carrara Oval, Gold Coast, with the toss at 1:15 PM IST and first ball at 1:45 PM IST.
- Australia are without Travis Head due to Ashes preparation, with Glenn Maxwell widely expected to feature on return.
- India have leaned on rotation but could stick with a similar XI; Shubman Gill’s lean returns face scrutiny as Abhishek Sharma continues to provide strong starts.
- The pitch is expected to favor batting with early pace for quicks and some assistance for spinners later at a venue with limited T20I history.
