Australia vs India Prediction, 4th T20I – Who will win today’s match between AUS vs IND?

Australia (AUS) and India (IND) square off in the fourth T20I at the Carrara Oval in Queensland on Thursday, November 6. The series is intriguingly poised at 1-1. The team which wins on Thursday will not have the threat of losing the five-match series.

After the first game in Canberra was washed out, Australia took a 1-0 lead after winning the second in Melbourne by four wickets. They chased down a 126-run target in 13.2 overs on a spicy track after Josh Hazlewood bowled a brilliant spell with the new ball.

India bounced back commendably in the third T20I in Hobart to restore parity in the series. They made light work of a 187-run target, reaching the score in just 18.3 overs, with five wickets to spare. Washington Sundar played a blinder of an innings after Arshdeep Singh's exemplary three-for on his comeback.

AUS vs IND Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter - Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma couldn't back up his blistering half-century in the second T20I with a big score in the third. However, he did get India off to a quickfire start with his 25-run knock off 16 balls. The southpaw, who is the leading run-getter in the series, will have a key role to play on Thursday.

Probable Best Bowler - Nathan Ellis

Nathan Ellis has bowled with a lot of steam and his variations have given the Indian batters a tough time so far in the series. In three games, he has bowled 9.2 overs and picked up six wickets at an average of 13.67. The right-arm pacer will look to get his team some wickets, especially inside the powerplay.
