Match Preview:
Australia rocked back in the five-game T20I series against India with a fighting five-wicket in Guwahati. Chasing 223, Glenn Maxwell scored a scintilating 104 to eclipse Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 123 in 63 balls as the Aussies clinched the game in the final over and registered their first win of the series. Now both teams travel to central India and lock horns in the fourth T20I in Raipur.
Pitch Report:
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur has had balanced tracks with an average score of 146 in T20s. Here, the batters can struggle as they are required to spend a bit of time in the middle. But the bowlers can manage to find an advantage as the pitch offers some movement with the new ball. Similarly, the spinners could get some turn as the pitch tends to grip.
Team Analysis:
India:
The young Indian team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, has continued its fearless approach in this series. The flamboyant batting unit has been the biggest positive as the batters have managed to evade early collapse, Jason Beherndoff’s swing and every other threat thrown by the Australian team with ease. But the bowling still remains in trouble as they failed to 223 by conceding 47 runs in the final two overs.

Australia:
Unlike India, the Australian team has had its share of trouble despite a thumping win in the third T20I. The Aussie batters have managed to score runs but haven’t been able to fire together with one or two batters shouldering a majority of the responsibility. Whereas the bowling attack, barring Jason Behrendorff, has failed to threaten the Indian batters so far in the series.
