Suryakumar Yadav and Mitchell Marsh walk out for the toss. Australia win toss and opt to bowl first. The hosts make four changes. India go unchanged.
After playing the first two games, Sanju Samson was benched in the third game in Hobart. Jitesh Sharma replaced Samson. It will interesting to see if India bring back Sanju.
Australia will be without opener Travis Head, who has been released to play in Sheffield Shield as a preparation for Ashes. That means, Mitchell Owen is in line to open the batting alongside Mitchell Marsh.
Rain has played its part in India’s tour of Australia this time. At Gold Coast, there is no talk about weather as its bright and sunny above the Carrara Oval, which has a capacity of 20000. However, the surface is unknown to both the teams and the boundaries are short. Don’t be amazed if a lot of balls fly to the stands.
The first T20I was abandoned after being hit by rain. Australia took the lead in the second game with a commanding win at the MCG. The Indians bounced back in Hobart to make it 1-1.
The Carrara Oval has hosted several women’s international games before, but this is the first time that the Gold Coast stadium is hosting a men’s international game.
