Key Players (India)

India will rely on the red-hot form of Abhishek Sharma, who has been in sensational touch with the bat this series. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav will once again lead from the front, while Washington Sundar, fresh off his heroics in the previous match, brings crucial all-round balance and will look to continue his impact.

Key Players (Australia)

Australia will look for their top-order to fire, with Travis Head still searching for form after a quiet series so far. Tim David and Marcus Stoinis showed muscle in the previous game and will be eager to continue their big-hitting impact. Mitchell Marsh, in good rhythm, will provide stability, while Glenn Maxwell returns to add firepower and experience to the middle order.

In the bowling department, Xavier Bartlett and Adam Zampa will be crucial for the home side. Bartlett’s pace and Zampa’s spin could pose significant challenges to the Indian batters, especially on a pitch that can offer assistance to both.
