India defeated a diminished Australia team in Raipur, Raipur, by defending their 174-run score, and winning the series. Australia wants to end its tour in India on a strong note, and Travis Head might be essential to achieving this. Head, who was named player-of-the-match in the World Cup final, is the most well-known player from the winning team still playing in India.
Since 2012, Chinnaswamy has not held a Twenty20 International match. When India played Pakistan in December 2012, the Men in Green won by a margin of five wickets. But with India all out for 133, it was a low-scoring game. Pakistan used 19.4 overs to chase the score. The Player of the Match was none other than Mohammad Hafeez (61 off 44 balls).
Australia and India are currently traveling in quite similar directions. With their sights set on the next major event in less than seven months, they have had to find takeaways and tick boxes in only four days after an emotionally and physically taxing ODI World Cup final.
Perhaps Suryakumar Yadav was still feeling the effects of the final as both teams tried to turn the page quickly and move forward in the hopes of winning something new.
India are the overwhelming favorites to win the fifth T20I and seal the series 4-1. Australia have been very disappointing in this series and they will need to produce a much-improved performance if they are to avoid a whitewash.
