India vs Australia - 4th T20I Match, Probable XI, Pitch Report, Weather Report and more (2023)

India will take on Australia in the 4th T20 of the ongoing series on December 1. The match will be played in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. With the series hanging in the balance, this match has been labeled a must-win for Australia, who are striving to keep their hopes alive.

Australia won the 3rd T20 match against India, taking the series to 2-1. Glenn Maxwell almost single-handedly led an extraordinary run chase from Australia as they beat India by five wickets in the third game of the five-match series. There will be some relief for India knowing Glenn Maxwell has finally left the country after producing yet another stunning performance in Guwahati that has kept the series alive.

India's young bowling unit, which has been under the pump, will look to better its death overs performance knowing Glenn Maxwell's absence to its advantage in the fourth T20 International against Australia here on Friday. Deepak Chahar is back in the T20 mix and his ability to move the new ball should be considered for his inclusion in the playing XI along with death overs specialist Mukesh Kumar, who is back after one-match break.

In the batting line up, Shreyas Iyer's comeback means only Tilak Varma looks a candidate who could be benched as five others -- Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, skipper Suryakumar Yadav and finisher Rinku Singh back themselves.

With Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis back home, it will be a fresh-looking middle order for Australia in this game. Chris Green is in line to make his debut for Australia.
