Currently leading the series 2-1, India have already ensured that their 17-year unbeaten run in T20Is against Australia stays intact. Now, Suryakumar Yadav's men will look to finish with a flourish.

Much of the attention will be on Shubman Gill and captain Suryakumar Yadav, while the hosts will be desperate to find answers to India's spin threat in their last head-to-head before next year's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

India showed sharper game awareness in the previous match at the Gold Coast, adapting well to the demanding Carrara surface. Gill's assured knock helped India reach 121/2 in 14 overs, but a dramatic late collapse saw them lose four wickets for just 15 runs.

For Gill, it has now been seven innings without a fifty, though his 46 in the fourth T20I signalled a timely return to touch. The opener looked settled before falling to a slower delivery, and will be eager to finish the tour on a high and silence concerns over his form.
