AUS vs IND 4th T20I Live Streaming: Cricket fans are all set for another high-octane clash as Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India faces off against Mitchell Marsh’s Australia in the fourth T20I of the ongoing five-match series at Carrara Oval, Queensland. With the series finely poised at 1-1, both sides will be desperate to take the lead and avoid the pressure of a must-win decider in the final match.
The series began on a disappointing note as the first match was washed out due to rain. Australia bounced back strongly to win the second T20 in Melbourne, but India showed their dominance in Hobart with a convincing win to level the series. The stage is now perfectly set for a thrilling encounter under the lights in Queensland.
India’s Form and Key Concerns
Team India has displayed excellent form with the bat throughout the series, with skipper Suryakumar Yadav leading from the front. Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma have provided solid starts, while Tilak Varma and Jitesh Sharma have added stability in the middle order.
The return of Arshdeep Singh has bolstered India’s bowling attack, particularly in the powerplay and death overs. However, the management faces a tough choice between Arshdeep and Harshit Rana, who is also in contention for a spot in the playing XI.
Another selection debate revolves around Sanju Samson, who was benched for the third T20 to make way for Jitesh Sharma. With the team’s winning combination intact, Suryakumar Yadav might be reluctant to make changes.
Australia’s Situation Ahead of the 4th T20
Despite missing several first-choice bowlers, Australia have looked competitive in the series. Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head, and Josh Inglis continue to anchor the batting lineup, while Marcus Stoinis and Tim David provide finishing firepower.
However, Sean Abbott, who replaced Josh Hazlewood in the previous match, struggled with the ball and may make way for Ben Dwarshuis or Tanveer Sangha. Australia’s bowling has been slightly inconsistent, and tightening up in the death overs will be key if they hope to contain India’s explosive batting lineup.
