another strong performance.

The Gabba, Brisbane Pitch Report
The Gabba is renowned for being one of the best cricketing surfaces in Australia. It offers a true pitch with consistent bounce and carry, making it ideal for fast bowlers who can extract movement. At the same time, batters enjoy the reliability of the bounce, allowing them to play their strokes freely once set.

AUS vs IND Probable Best Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter - Mitchell Marsh
Australian captain Mitchell Marsh could be the key batter in this crucial clash. The all-rounder has struggled to convert his starts in the series so far, managing only 87 runs in the first four matches. However, Marsh will be eager to deliver a captain’s knock in the final T20I and help the hosts level the series with a match-defining performance at The Gabba.
Probable Best Bowler - Arshdeep Singh
The left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh could be India’s key bowler in the series decider. He was outstanding in the third T20I, delivering a match-defining spell that turned the game in India’s favour. With his ability to swing the new ball and deliver pinpoint yorkers at the death, Arshdeep will look to produce another brilliant performance in the fifth T20I to help India clinch the series trophy at The Gabba.
