Australia bounced back in the second T20I and dismantled the Indian batting order. However, they failed to replicate that dominance in the next two matches. Now, the hosts will look to address their shortcomings and level the series with a strong performance in front of the home crowd.

Washington Sundar's brilliant innings led India to victory in the third T20I, while the bowlers dominated and contained Australia in the fourth. With their momentum, India will look to end the tour on a high note and win the series at the Gabba.

IND vs AUS, The Gabba Pitch Report

AUS vs IND 5th T20 Pitch Report: Brisbane's Gabba ground is known for its pace and bounce, making it a traditional stronghold for fast bowlers, especially in the early overs of a match. Fast bowlers are likely to receive extra bounce and pace initially, making it difficult to score runs in the powerplay. Once batsmen acclimate to the conditions, the ball comes on easily, leading to faster runs and higher scores at the end of the innings.

• This pitch is considered a "fast bowler's paradise," especially in the beginning, where there is extra bounce and seam movement. Batsmen must be cautious initially, but once they settle in, they can score freely.
• Even after the new ball loses its shine, the Gabba is a good batting ground, and high scores are common in T20Is. The average first innings score at the Gabba in 2023 was just over 185, indicating that this pitch will become batsman-friendly once the players get used to it.
