AUS vs IND, 4th T20I: All you need to know, head-to-head, playing XI
Australia and India are getting ready to take on each other in the fourth T20I of the five-match series scheduled to be played on Thursday at Carrara Stadium. The series is currently levelled 1-1 after Australia clinched the second game and India responded with the victory in the third. Notably, the first match had been washed out. Heading into the fourth match, both sides will be desperate to take a 2-1 lead.
Australia burst out of the blocks in the second T20I, bowling India out for just 125 in 18.4 overs and chasing down the target comfortably in 13.2 overs. India, however, bounced back strongly in -the third game, driven by a superb innings from Washington Sundar (49* off 23) to chase down a challenging total of 186 in 18.3 overs. Now the fourth game provides a crucial opportunity for both sides to go 2-1 up in the series.
For India, who have responded well to the setback, they will aim to sustain that confidence and build pressure on Australia.
Their bowling unit will look to make perfect use of the conditions and avoid the early collapse they suffered in the second match. Australia, on the other hand, will be keen to reassert the dominance they showed in the second game and avoid giving India the momentum.
