The Indian batting underperformed once again in this series. India 167/8 in 20 overs

Nathan Ellis gets another one - third of the match - he gets rid of Washington Sundar for 12. The wickets continue to tumble for India here as even 175 looks highly unlikely from here. IND 152/7 in 18.4 overs

Another wicket for Adam Zampa as this time he traps Jitesh Sharma in front of the wicket. A good review from Mitchell Marsh. Jitesh went for a sweep but got out LBW here as India are in some deep trouble. IND 136/6 in 16.4 overs

 Xavier Bartlett into the attack and claims the massive wicket of Suryakumar Yadav. The Indian skipper went for a massive shot and got caught by Tim David, who held onto a tricky catch. 200 looks difficult from here. IND 125/4 in 15.1 overs

 Nathan Ellis gets the better of Shubman Gill here as the Indian opener misses out on his half-century again. However, it was a sluggish knock with a strike rate under 120. The pressure was mounting on him to smash everything, but he got outfoxed by Ellis. IND 121/3 in 14.1 overs

Suryakumar Yadav breaks free early and smashes Adam Zampa for a maximum. Here he goes again in the same area, same shot, but a bigger one in the second deck. A big over for India, courtesy SKY. IND 108/2 in 13 overs

Xavier Bartlett back into the attack and the pressure is mounting on India as he delivered a solid over with only four runs coming off it. The move to send Shivam Dube up the order hasn't worked so far with Australia attacking with pacers against him. IND 75/1 in 10 overs

 Adam Zampa gets his revenge on Abhishek Sharma after getting hit for a maximum. The left-handed batter went for a big shot but this time didn't find the distance and got caught by Tim David. India lost their first wicket after powerplay. IND 56/1 in 64 overs

Shubman Gill has finally broken the shackles, and he chose to go after Nathan Ellis, Australia's best pacer in the line-up. He has finally got some rhythm here. However, Australia have managed to keep Abhishek Sharma quiet so far. IND 31/0 in 4 overs

Ben Dwarshuis continues from the other end and this time 7 runs came off it. Shubman Gill hit four on the first ball of the over, but he still looked underconfident with his approach so far and need to hit big shots. IND 20/0 in 3 overs

 Ben Dwarshuis started the proceedings with the new ball here. The left-arm pacer bowled tight lines here and didn't allow the Indian openers to free their arms. Only three runs came off the over as the pressure is mounting on Shubman Gill to break free. IND 3/0 in 1 over

India captain Suryakumar Yadav expressed confidence after losing the toss, saying the team was content to bat first on a surface resembling Indian conditions. He added that the side is eager to embrace the challenge of setting a target, confirming that India will field the same playing XI as the previous match.

Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh wins the toss and elects to bowl first against India at Carrara Oval, Queensland

The return of Glenn Maxwell provides a significant boost to the Australian lineup, adding depth to both their batting and bowling departments. Known for his explosive stroke play and handy off-spin, Maxwell’s presence strengthens the middle order and offers flexibility in team balance. His experience and ability to perform under pressure come as a timely advantage for the hosts.

Shubman Gill has struggled to find his usual fluency at the crease, with bowlers exploiting his weakness against fuller deliveries that slightly move off the surface. The young opener, known for his elegance and timing, has looked a shadow of his dominant self, often falling while trying to force shots early in the innings. As India’s vice-captain, the pressure is mounting on Gill to rediscover the commanding form that once made him one of the most dependable batters in the lineup.
