In a high-stakes showdown at Brisbane’s Gabba, Australia’s captain Mitch Marsh won the toss and elected to field first, setting the stage for a thrilling series-deciding Twenty20 international against India. With overcast skies and the threat of rain looming, the match could be shortened, adding urgency to India’s batting strategy. The visitors, leading the series 2-1, aim to secure victory after their dominant 48-run win on the Gold Coast, where Washington Sundar’s three-wicket burst dismantled Australia’s chase. Australia, meanwhile, seeks redemption after collapsing in their previous match, losing seven wickets for just 28 runs. Both teams made minimal changes to their lineups, with India introducing Rinku Singh in place of Tilak Varma. This match marks Australia’s final T20 outing before the highly anticipated Ashes series against England begins on November 21 in Perth.
