Overview
- The fifth T20I in Brisbane was abandoned after lightning and heavy rain with India 52 for 0 after 4.5 overs, leaving the series at 2–1 to the visitors.
- Shubman Gill was 29 not out and Abhishek Sharma 23 not out when play stopped, shortly after two Australian drops gave India early reprieves.
- Mitchell Marsh won the toss and chose to field; Australia named an unchanged XI, and India brought in Rinku Singh for Tilak Varma.
- Abhishek Sharma finished as the leading run-scorer with 163 and was named Player of the Series, while Washington Sundar’s three wickets in five balls headlined India’s 48-run win in the fourth T20I.
- Two matches in the series were washed out, and with the T20 World Cup on the horizon Australia now turn to the Ashes starting Nov. 21 in Perth as India prepare for home Tests against South Africa from Nov. 14.
