India plays against host Australia at Gold Coast with the series interestingly positioned at 1-1, and with both teams playing aggressively, we are in for a good contest. Here is everything you need to know about the 4th T20 between India and Australia!
Glenn Maxwell Returns To Australian Squad
Glenn Maxwell is all set to play the 4th T20 and strengthen the middle order of the Australian team. Besides, he is a match-winner in any situation with nerves of steel. Opener Travis Head will not play the remaining matches of the series as he will be playing in the Sheffield Shield. Therefore, Australia may promote Matthew Short to open the batting with Mitchell Marsh.

Team India’s First Match At The Ground
Team India plays for the first time at the Carrara Oval Ground. The ground has a capacity of 22,000 spectators, and moreover, is known for hosting multiple sports like football, baseball, rugby and cricket.
The pitch is grassy, which will help pace bowlers in the initial part of both innings with the new ball. Consequently, pacers can extract extra bounce with the new ball, and early wickets are common at the venue.
Team India Looks In For Win At Gold Coast
After winning the 3rd T20, Team India looks in good touch, and after the Gold Coast match, both teams travel to Sydney for the final T20. Meanwhile, Team India would like to win the 4th T20 against Australia and go to Sydney with the momentum. Overall, Team India is playing well under captain Suryakumar Yadav. Players like Washington Sundar, Abhishek Sharma, Bumrah, and Axar Patel can turn the results of the match single-handedly.
