The Carrara Oval in Gold Coast, Queensland, is set to host the fourth match of the T20I series between India and Australia on Thursday, November 6. This penultimate clash of the five-match series carries major significance as both teams aim to gain a decisive advantage with the series currently tied 1-1 due to weather interruptions.
India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, made a strong comeback after their loss in Melbourne by clinching victory in Hobart. The team’s management, including coach Gautam Gambhir, was likely satisfied with the adjustments and renewed energy shown by the side.
Both bowlers helped restrict Australia’s momentum early on before the home side fought back through their experienced middle order.
Despite India’s fiery start, Australia’s batting duo Tim David and Marcus Stoinis mounted a strong counterattack. The pair produced fluent innings under pressure, allowing the hosts to amass a commanding total of 186 for 6 in their 20 overs.
Tim David scored 74 runs, while Marcus Stoinis added 64, leading Australia to a resilient finish.
In pursuit of the target, India continued with an aggressive batting approach to make the most of the powerplay restrictions. Their determination to keep attacking reflected the team’s intent to maintain momentum deep into the innings.
The Gold Coast showdown promises high stakes as both India and Australia seek control of a tightly contested T20I series amid uncertain weather conditions.
