AUS vs IND Match Prediction: 5th T20I, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report More – India Tour of Australia 2025 

AUS vs IND: The stage is set for the fifth and final T20I between India and Australia. The visitors are leading the series 2-1 and they can’t lose the series from this position. They have a chance to wrap up a series win. The final game will be played at The Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday at 1:45 PM IST. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details here.

Australia Preview 

Australia had a horrible batting display on a tough pitch in Queensland, and they were bundled out for 119 runs, chasing 168 to win. That means they can’t win this series and will have to fight well to level it in Brisbane. Australia are without some of their key players, which is certainly a big miss for them.

• Key Batters: Matthew Short and Tim David are the two players who can take on Indian bowlers at will.
• Captaincy: Captain Mitchell Marsh had a good innings in the second game, but after that, he has not been able to convert his start to a big innings.
• Batting Strength: The batting came under pressure for Australia in the fourth game. The pitch had assistance for spinners, and India took full advantage of it. Hence, Australia will be under pressure going into the final game. But as we all know, they will come hard in this game.
• Bowling Attack: The bowling for Australia is looking rusty without Hazlewood. Nathan Ellis is doing the job and taking wickets, but he has not had much support from other bowlers. Adam Zampa played the last game and took three wickets but suffered a hammering as well.

India Preview 

India would be happy with the way the fourth game ended. They had a par score, but it needed a good bowling performance, which they had. Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar also bowled well. The tourists used the condition well and completed the victory. Now, they have a chance to record another T20I series win in Australia.

• Batting: If we look at the current Indian batting unit, it looks slightly fragile. Gill at the top takes some balls to get away, which sometimes puts pressure on others. Then, these conditions and big boundaries in Australia make it even harder. But India have the lead, which shows that they have done better than Australia.
• Bowling: The bowling unit for India is performing well. Arshdeep and Bumrah are two of the best T20I bowlers. Then India have the no. 1 ranked bowler, Varun Chakravarthy. Axar, Sundar, and Dube are also chipping in with the wickets.

• Tim David (AUS): Tim David can take on the Indian bowling lineup as he did in Hobart. His long reach and power-hitting ability make him a difficult batter to face.
• Mitchell Marsh (AUS):  Mitchell Marsh was the top scorer for his team in the fourth game. He has been in good form and is getting regular starts.

• Adam Zampa (AUS): Adam Zampa took 3-45 in Queensland. He bowled with good flight and troubled the batters.

AUS vs IND Match Prediction – Who Will Win? 

Team India have more experienced squad, which can perform well in tough conditions, like it was in Queensland.

India are looking good, and they will start the final game on Saturday as favorites.
