India vs Australia, 4th T20I: Toss result and playing XIs for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

Team India will face Australia at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur in the fourth T20I of the five-match series on Friday. The Men in Blue have a 2-1 lead and will look to seal the series with a win tonight.

Having lost the first two matches, Australia made a strong comeback in the third T20I in Guwahati in another high-scoring game. Chasing a big target of 223, they got home off the last ball as Glenn Maxwell clobbered a superb 104* off 48 deliveries, smacking eight fours and as many sixes.

The Aussies, however, will be without the services of Maxwell and a few of their other World Cup stars for the last two matches. The likes of Ben McDermott, Chris Green, Ben Dwarshuis, and Josh Philippe could thus get an opportunity to showcase their talent. For India, Shreyas Iyer returns after being rested for the first three games.

According to Matthew Hayden, the pitch is very rolled and hard. It’s got a nice layer of grass on it as well. It’s a very solid wicket, a lovely outfield and dew will play a factor as well.
