Intriguingly, the five-match Twenty20 International series between Australia (AUS) and India (IND) is currently tied 2-1 in favour of the ‘Men in Blue’. On Friday, December 1, the fourth game is scheduled to take place in Raipur’s Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium.
Australia had lost the first two matches, but they had remarkably recovered to win the third game in Guwahati by a legendary margin of five wickets. India scored 222/3 in 20 overs thanks to a sophisticated century from Ruturaj Gaikwad. But all of his hard work was in vain, as Glenn Maxwell delivered a T20 batting masterclass that saw the tourists win the thrilling match on the final ball. The fourth Twenty20 International in an exciting series thus far has the stage set.
The fourth T20I match between Australia and India is not in danger of rain.
During the match hours, the temperature is predicted to be in the early 20s. It is going to be a cloudy evening with a 50% relative humidity. The absence of rain is a welcome development for fans of cricket, especially because the series is very close.
Raipur could provide some relief for bowlers.
The average score for the series thus far is 215. Scores exceeding 200 have been recorded in five of the six innings. Over the course of the three matches, bowlers have had to work extremely hard, but they may be in for some relief in Raipur, as the location isn’t exactly recognized as a batting haven. In the T20 format, just one team has scored more than 200, and the wicket distribution is very even.
In the 29 T20 games that have taken place here, chasing teams have prevailed 16 times. In addition, Dew might be very important, and the captain who wins the toss might be tempted to bowl first.
