India vs Australia 4th T20 Match Playing 11, Full Squad: India face Australia in the fourth T20I at the Carrara Oval in the Gold Coast with the five-match series level at 1-1. The team that wins this match will take an unassailable lead in the series. The first T20I was washed out after which Australia powered to a comprehensive four-wicket win in the second. Washington Sundar’s unbeaten 49 in 23 balls then helped India chase down a target of 189 with releative ease and win the third T20I by five wickets.

India vs Australia Predicted XIs:
Shivam Dube had a rather forgettable outing in Hobart during the third T20I. The all-rounder bowled three overs and conceded as many as 43 runs and then didn’t get a chance to bat later in the day. Chances of him getting the drop is low though, even though bowling coach Morne Morkel indicated that Nitish Kumar Reddy has progressed well in his recovery from injury. It was announced at the start of this series that Reddy was ruled out of the first three T20Is. “He did all his work that was needed or expected of him in fielding, batting, and bowling,” Morkel said yesterday. “He ticked all of that, so we will find out now after assessment where he is at.”
Meanwhile, Australia are set to make one change at least with Travis Head leaving to play in the Sheffield Shield in preparation for the Ashes, as Josh Hazlewood did earlier in the series. Glenn Maxwell is reportedly back to full fitness and will slot right back into the middle order, with Matthew Short moving into the opening position.
