India vs Australia 5th T20I: Brisbane Weather Forecast and Match Preview

The fifth and final T20I between India and Australia will take place at The Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday, November 8. The clash will decide the five-match series, with rain once again threatening to disrupt play.

Series Context

India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, holds a 2-1 advantage after securing victory in the fourth T20I at the Gold Coast. Despite tricky weather and a challenging surface, India showcased resilience to claim a 48-run win at the Carrara Oval in Queensland.

Key Performances

Vice-captain Shubman Gill answered critics with a composed innings of 46 runs off 39 balls on a two-paced pitch, helping India build a solid platform. His improved intent early in the innings gave India the momentum needed to control the match and strengthened his case for a stable top-order role.

These efforts lifted India to a total of 167 for 8 in 20 overs. Australian pacer Nathan Ellis stood out with an impressive return of 3 wickets for 21 runs.

Australia’s Chase Falters

Australia’s reply stumbled after a decent start. Captain Mitchell Marsh scored 30, and Matthew Short chipped in with 25, but both departed early, derailing the innings and leaving their side in trouble.

"Suryakumar Yadav’s men aim for glory on Aussie shores after taking an unassailable 2-1 lead in the rain-marred series."

The intensity of the decider at The Gabba now hinges not only on performance but also on the skies above Brisbane, with possible rain posing a genuine threat to the finale.
