Abhishek Sharma would look to play a more fluent innings in the upcoming match after struggling to middle the ball despite scoring 28 runs off 21 balls in the fourth T20I, which was quite slow by his standards.
Abhishek will have to tackle the bowling of Nathan Ellis, who has been the pick of the bowlers for Australia in the ongoing T20I series and would want to keep up the good work.
Shubman Gill vs Xavier Bartlett
India's vice captain, Shubman Gill, would like to prolong the start that he gets in the final match of the series after falling four runs short of a much-needed half-century in the fourth game.
Gill will go head-to-head against Xavier Bartlett, who would hope to get the better of him early in the innings.
Mitchell Marsh vs Jasprit Bumrah
Australian captain Mitchell Marsh would like to get the job done and help his team level the series after throwing his wicket away, having gotten off to a start in the last match.
Marsh will be up against Jasprit Bumrah, who will look to keep things tight from his end and create pressure on the Aussie batters, especially in the first six overs.
Tim David vs Varun Chakaravarthy
Tim David would aim to play a similar innings that he played in the third match for his team to increase their chances of winning the match in question.
David will face the challenge of Varun Chakaravarthy, who has been able to pick up wickets at crucial moments for the team in the series so far and would look to do the same at The Gabba.
