For the fourth match, Travis Head will not play for Australia as he is set to play Sheffield Shield to make ready for the Ashes. With a big knock, Shubman Gill will be looking to turn the tables after what has been an underwhelming tour when a confident India aim to go one up against a exhausted Australia in the fourth T20 International in Carrara on November 6,2025 (Thursday).

After three matches and in the absence of Josh Hazlewood in the last match did make a difference to defence of Australia of a standard total of 186.

With the unavailability of two pillars of the opponent team, before the final match at Gabba, this is the highest probability for Team India to go 2-1 up and wrap up a series win.

In the last match, Team India finally did look to get their combination right within their scope of having an all-rounder at No. 8.

However, Indian team management’s bothers is form of captain Shubman Gill in the series as he has now played six matches without a half-century.

At the other end, with a fine half-century and two quick starts in the series, Abhishek Sharma has done his status no harm as the Number 1 T20 of the world.

However Shubman Gill, who will have to switch on Test in a week’s time, will surely get a lot of trust if he irrespective of the format is

playing gets some runs.

Captain Suryakumar Yadav has shown some glances of his period self in the first and third matches with two promising beginning. But he would also like to score some runs under the belt now that before the next series against South Africa, there will be a month-long break.
