Team India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, will face Mitchell Marsh’s Australia in the fifth and final T20I at The Gabba, Brisbane. With India leading the five-match series 2-1, this game will decide whether they seal the series or Australia levels it 2-2.
The first T20I was abandoned due to rain, while Australia clinched the second in Melbourne. However, India bounced back strongly with victories in Hobart and Queensland. Both teams now head into the final clash with contrasting goals — India eyeing a series win, and Australia hoping to restore parity.
India vs Australia 5th T20 – Predicted Playing XI

Team Preview
India has struck a balanced combination and is unlikely to make changes. The only concern remains Suryakumar Yadav’s batting form, which hasn’t quite clicked this series. Apart from that, India’s all-round depth, with Axar Patel and Washington Sundar contributing in both departments, looks solid.
For Australia, the challenge lies in countering India’s spinners and maintaining pressure during the middle overs. Their bowlers have struggled with consistency, and the batters will need to take responsibility to post or chase a competitive total.
