India vs Australia LIVE Score, 5th T20I: Australia won the toss and opted to bowl in the fifth and final T20I vs India, at the Gabba in Brisbane, on Saturday. The visitors lead 2-1 in the series. When it comes to T20Is, the Aussies have a good record at the Gabba, and have only lost once in the shortest format in the venue across eight matches, which stretches back to 2006. Their only defeat came in 2013, against the West Indies. The hosts will hope that the record plays a role today, as they aim to secure a draw in the series. The series began with a washout in Canberra, followed by a dominant win for the Aussies at the MCG. Then, India fought back, winning the third and fourth T20Is. The win in the fourth T20I for India saw Australia’s run without a series win in the shortest format against the visitors continue, on home soil.
Speaking ahead of the match, Australia’s Nathan Ellis said, “I find it challenging in bilateral series because you’re bowling to the same batters every second night, every third night. So it becomes a little bit of cat-and-mouse of what did I do to them last time, what are they looking for?”
The Aussies will look to adopt an all-out attack setup, which can be effective on faster surfaces. But their high-voltage batting order failed to execute on a slower Gold Coast surface in the fourth T20I. Varun Chakaravarthy, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar totally tore apart the Aussie batting order, helping India win the match.

India vs Australia Live Score: Speaking after winning the toss, Marsh said, “Going to bowl first. Looks a good surface, always great to come here and play at this great stadium. Certainly a chance to draw the series. Lots to play for. Both teams have played some great cricket. Was bit of an indifferent surface. India bowled superbly. Different conditions tonight. No changes.”
Meanwhile, Suryakumar said, “Until you’re winning the game and losing the toss, it’s fine. Want to go out and express ourselves. Always good to understand what the team’s goal is. All batters realised it wasn’t a 200 wicket. All boxes ticked in the last game, just want to continue the same. Always good to win bilaterals. At the same time, what combination you want is more important. Other than openers, this is one format where everyone has to be flexible with batting positions. One change -Tilak is resting, Rinku comes in.”
