Rinku Singh, Nitish Reddy to Debut at Gabba? —What’s Australia’s Game Plan?

Gabba: The last and important match of the T20 series between India and Australia will be played today at the Gabba ground in Brisbane. India is currently leading 2-1, which means that if they win, the series will be theirs. Australia has only one chance to equalize. The fast pitch and difficult environment of Gabba has always been an advantage for the hosts, but the way India's stars are shining, it seems that history may turn again.

Is there scope for change in the playing eleven?

Team India has shown great coordination in the last two matches. In such a situation, no major changes are expected. Possible teams could be as follows:

• Shubman Gill (Vice Captain)
• Abhishek Sharma
• Tilak Verma
• Suryakumar Yadav (Captain)
• Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper)
• Shivam Dubey
• Akshar Patel
• Washington Sundar
• Arshdeep Singh
• Varun Chakraborty
• Jasprit Bumrah

However, there is talk of giving rest to Bumrah before the South Africa tour. In such a situation, Rinku Singh or Sanju Samson can be seen in the playing eleven. Captain Suryakumar Yadav says that it is important to maintain balance in the team. The performance of Shubman and Abhishek in the opening has given strength to the team, while Tilak Verma's calm nature and reliable batting brings stability in the middle overs.

What will be the strategy of Kangaroos?

The Australian team captained by Mitchell Marsh is under pressure. They may bring some changes, like Probable XI:

• Mitchell Marsh (captain)
• Matthew Short
• Josh Inglis
• Glenn Maxwell
• Tim David
• Mitchell Owen
• Marcus Stoinis
• Xavier Bartlett
• Nathan Ellis
• Adam Zampa
• Mahali Beardman

Owen can be fitted in place of Josh Philippe and Beardman can be fitted in place of Ben Dwarshuis. Marsh himself is desperate to score runs while batting, and Maxwell's magic can surprise anyone. But India's spinners have already given them a tough fight, so they will trust Paes at the Gabba.

What are the weather conditions?

Gabba is a fort of fast bowlers, brother! Here the bounce and speed leave the batsmen stunned. But big scores are also made in T20, chasing 160-180 runs is not easy. The pitch report is saying that the seamers will get help in the beginning, but if the batsmen manage later, there can be a blast. Talking about the weather, there is a possibility of rain or a storm in the afternoon, which can shorten the match. If India wants to win the toss then it should choose bowling first. Australia has the upper hand in head-to-heads, but India have done well here since 2016.

Who will win this decisive battle?

India is the favorite in the eyes of experts, friends. With a lead of 2-1, their confidence is high, and Surya's smart captaincy can clinch the series. But the Kangaroos are not going to accept defeat at home, especially at Gabba. If Bumrah fires then India will win 3-1, otherwise it will be a tight match.
