Match Preview
India has continued their impressive run, winning back-to-back matches and extending Australia’s long wait for a T20I series victory against them on home soil. With these two wins, India have already ensured they can’t lose the series, while Australia’s best hope now is to level it. After coming off a disappointing ODI series earlier in the tour, India have bounced back strongly and now have the chance to wrap up the T20I leg on a high.
The addition of Arshdeep Singh has brought a new edge to India’s bowling attack, giving them control with the new ball and variety in the death overs. Washington Sundar has also proved his worth as a genuine all-rounder, contributing brilliantly with both bat and ball.
Australia, on the other hand, has looked a bit off-colour with the ball since the absence of Josh Hazlewood. Apart from Nathan Ellis, their attack has lacked consistency and penetration. The hosts will also be hoping for a more solid performance with the bat, especially from their middle order, which has been inconsistent so far. With seven wins in their last eight matches at the Gabba, Australia will be banking on their strong home record to level the series. But with the kind of form India are in, they’ll be confident of breaching the Gabba fortress once again and sealing the series in style.
