The Men In Blue will be trying their best to take the series to their name, as they are already leading in the series by 2-1. Talking about the five-match T20I series, the first match was called off due to rain in Canberra; hence, that match was declared as no result. In the second T20I, Australia won the second game by 4 wickets in Melbourne. After that, the Indian team made a strong comeback, winning the third and fourth T20I. With only one game remaining, India has the best opportunity to win the series by a margin of 3-1.

If Suryakumar Yadav’s team loses the final T20I against Australia, then the series will end on a margin of 2-2, ending the series on a draw.
