AUS vs IND Match Prediction: 4th T20I, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report More – India Tour of Australia 2025 

AUS vs IND: The five-match T20I series between Australia and India is at 1-1. The fourth T20I game between the two teams will now be played at Carrara Oval in Queensland on Thursday, which will start at 1:45 PM IST. A win here will help to take a lead in the series. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details about this game.

Australia Preview 

Australia did miss Josh Hazlewood with the ball because the way India played against their bowling in Hobart was totally different than the first two games. Now, the series is levelled, and the hosts will look to make the necessary changes to their playing XI. Bringing in Maxwell and Zampa can add more to the team.

• Key Batters: Mitchell Marsh and Tim David are the two players to keep an eye on with the bat.
• Captaincy: Captain Marsh had a rusty day in Hobart. But he is in excellent batting form and is very dangerous at the top.
• Batting Strength: The batting had a little stumble in Hobart. But still they reached 186 runs, which shows that if the top order scores for Australia, they can reach 210-220 easily, which can be a winning total any day. Hence, the hosts will hope that they can get a good start, as they have players to capitalize in the middle order.
• Bowling Attack: The bowling looked off-color. Sean Abbott, who replaced Hazlewood, was taken for runs. Other bowlers also couldn’t make much impact apart from Nathan Ellis. Hence, Australia need a strong plan for the coming game.

India Preview 

India took full advantage of the Hazlewood-less bowling unit for Australia. They target the bowlers and batters who played good cameos in the middle. There was no individual half-century, but they chased down 187 runs with nine balls to spare.

• Batting: India displayed a perfect example of their batting in Hobart. From Abhishek Sharma to Jitesh Sharma, there were good contributions in the middle. Everyone played their part to register a big and easy chase. So, they will be confident after that performance.
• Bowling: The bowling for India had a good game with the return of Arshdeep Singh. He, along with Jasprit Bumrah, makes a deadly pair at the top and in the final overs. Spinners also did well. But the fourth and fifth bowlers can be a challenge for the visitors.
