India Aim for 2–1 Lead as Australia Miss Key Players in Fourth T20 at Carrara Oval
IND vs AUS: Travis Head's absence has brought explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell back into the team, which could prove challenging for India. Matthew Short could open the innings in Head's place, while Maxwell will bat in the middle order.
Today will mark the fourth outing of the five-match T20 series between Australia and India. For Australia, neither Travis Head nor Josh Hazlewood will line up in this match at the Carrara Oval in Queensland. This is a brilliant time for India to take full advantage of the absences in the key positions of the Australians and seal a crucial 2-1 lead in the series with a win today.
This has brought the explosive all-rounder Glenn Maxwell back into the team, which could prove difficult for India to handle. Matthew Short could open the innings as a replacement for Head, while Maxwell would bat in the middle order. Nathan Ellis, who is the leading wicket-taker in the team, could also cause problems for the Indian batsmen in this match.
The series began with a rain-related draw in the first match. Australia won the second match by 4 wickets to take a 1-0 lead. India equalized the score at 1-1 with a resounding 5-wicket victory in the third match. In addition to Head and Hazlewood, Sean Abbott is also out of the next match. Kuldeep Yadav has been sent back from the Indian camp. He is likely to prepare for the Test series by playing for India A against South Africa A.
