Series Overview

Team News

🇦🇺 Australia

Australia is still missing quite a lot of first-choice players due to fitness and other misc personal reasons.

Travis Head was released to prepare for the Ashes instead.

Still uncertain about the fitness of Glenn Maxwell.

Adam Zampa is probably going to miss this one with the arrival of his second child.

Also supposed to open the innings would be Matthew Short, while Josh Philippe could be given a bit more time in the middle order. Possibly the youngster all-rounder Mahli Beardman might make his debut if Australia decided to rotate their bowlers.

🇮🇳 India

They did exceedingly well with the change for the third T20I and so probably sticking to the same XI would be considered.

Washington Sundar, for his match-winning 49 not out and performances with both bat and ball, is likely to be retained.

Kuldeep Yadav has been released for duty to join India A for the unofficial Test series against South Africa A.

Bumrah could well be rested in one of the last two games ahead of the Test series.

Pitch Report

The Gold Coast is ready for a first T20I, somewhat hinting the pitch will be good for the heavy hitters with an even bounce, little seam movement for the fast bowlers in the twilight. An early roadblock in the top order can pave the way for lots of runs being scored.

Weather forecast

All cricket lovers could probably breathe easily after the update comes in: The weather will be hot and humid on the Gold Coast, with no threat of any rain interruption. Just the perfect atmosphere for a game of cricket in the evening!
