That's a wrap for our live coverage of the fourth T20I between India and Australia. The visitors take a 2-1 lead in the series. The T20 World Cup champions have won their last seven bilateral series in the shortest format, and they've ensured that they won't lose this one either. 

Join us on November 8 as we bring you the action from the final T20I. Stay tuned to NDTV Sports for all the live and latest sports updates. Goodbye!

All-rounder Axar Patel gets the 'Player of the Match' award. A much-needed 11-ball 21 with the bat at the latter stages of India's innings. Then it was his spell that began India's dominance with the ball after Australia had made a good start. Figures of 2/20 in 4 overs.

Several players contributed to India's big win today. Abhishek Sharma provided the fiery start. Shubman Gill anchored the innings, top-scoring with 46. Axar Patel and Shivam Dube slammed crucial cameos with the bat, and took two wickets each with the ball. Suryakumar Yadav impressed with the bat and with his captaincy. And don't forget Washington Sundar's three late wickets to finish things!

A 48-run victory - that's a big margin in T20I cricket!

GAME OVER! Australia bowled out for 119 by India. 7 wickets lost for 28 runs by the hosts. Washington Sundar takes a third wicket, as Adam Zampa gets caught in the deep by Shubman Gill. India take a 2-1 lead in the series, with one to go!

AUS 119 all out (18.2)

India beat Australia by 48 runs.

Jasprit Bumrah strikes with his final ball! A terrific yorker that cleans up Ben Dwarshuis. Australia are nine wickets down, and India are staring at a huge victory. Bumrah has bowled economically today, and gets a well-deserved wicket.

AUS 118/9 (18)

Washington Sundar is unable to get a hattrick. The hattrick ball is blocked by Nathan Ellis. A fantastic over by him nonetheless. His first over of the entire series, and he takes two wickets, including that of the dangerous Stoinis. Concedes just two runs.

AUS 116/8 (17)

Dramatic chain of events! Washington Sundar sees Marcus Stoinis looking to step out, and pulls out of his delivery last-minute. A few boos from the crowd at the Carrara Oval. Next ball, Washington gets Stoinis out LBW! Stoinis does not execute his reverse sweep well, gets caught on the pads.

And then Washington Sundar dismisses Xavier Bartlett first ball! Caught and bowled! He's on a hattrick!

AUS 116/8 (16.5)

Boundary for Stoinis! He has struggled in his stay at the crease so far, but gets good timing on a short ball bowled by Bumrah. Gets a boundary through mid-wicket. Australia's hopes rest almost entirely on him, but the required run-rate is over 13!

AUS 114/6 (16)

Chakravarthy strikes, Maxwell departs! Suryakumar Yadav handed the ball to the mystery spinner, who has a great record against Maxwell, and it works a treat. Maxwell gives himself room, looks to play the cut. Ends up missing the delivery, and the ball knocks over the left bail.

Australia are in huge trouble!

AUS 103/6 (15)

100 up for Australia. It has taken them 14.1 overs, with India choking the flow of runs in the last few overs and taking some big wickets. The hosts will need a Herculean effort from their two mighty finishers if they want to win this match.

AUS 100/5 (14.1)

Incredible over by Arshdeep Singh. 1 run conceded, 1 wicket taken. After being slammed for 15 in one over earlier on, the left-arm pacer comes back with a bang. India on the front foot now. 11.5 the required run-rate for Stoinis and Maxwell.

AUS 99/5 (14)

GONE! Australia are 5 wickets down! Soft dismissal as Arshdeep Singh takes the wicket. Josh Philippe departs. The right-hander looks to play it over the circle, but gets caught mid-wicket. Big task at hand now for Stoinis and Maxwell.

AUS 98/5 (13.1)

Slammed for 4 by Marcus Stoinis! Firmly hit, square of the wicket. Australia have a host of proven powerhitters in their batting lineup. India are enjoying a good phase at the moment, but don't count out the hosts.

Dube concedes 11 but picks up a wicket in his second over.

AUS 95/4 (12)

Dube strikes again! Terrific response. Just after being smashed for a massive 6, Dube hits Tim David with a slower short ball. David is caught by surprise, ends up mistiming it, and an easy catch is taken inside the circle by Suryakumar Yadav.

AUS 91/4 (11.4)

Australia have lost their way a little in the last couple of overs, losing the wickets of Marsh and Inglis in quick succession. They still need 91 more in the final 10 overs. But with the likes of Tim David, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis in the batting order, they'll fancy their chances.

AUS 77/3 (10)

Shivam Dube strikes with the ball! Suryakumar Yadav's decision to hand the ball to the part-timer has worked. The slower deliveries doing the trick. Marsh looks to go big but gets caught at deep square-leg. Great catch by Arshdeep!

AUS 70/3 (9.2)

GONE! Another wicket for Axar Patel! What a spell here being bowled by the left-arm spinner. Inglis for the slog but misses it, and the ball knocks over his stumps. 2/17 for Axar in his 3 overs. Great day for him so far with bat and ball.

AUS 68/2 (9)

Smashed by Mitchell Marsh! Sweep shot hit extremely hard by the Australian captain. Dive at deep square-leg from Abhishek Sharma, but he's unable to stop it. Fourth boundary for Marsh, who is into the 30s now, and has picked up his tempo nicely.

AUS 67/1 (8.3)

Oh dear! Abhishek took a stunning diving catch at long-off, but the moment he touched the ground after the dive, the ball popped out after the impact of the fall. Mitch Marsh survives. Agony for Team India and Abhishek.

AUS 59/1 (7.3)

Huge appeal for caught behind on the final ball of the seventh over, but the umpire turns it down. Jitesh Sharma instantly urges Suryakumar Yadav to go for the review. India take the DRS, but UltraEdge shows no nick. Inglis survives. India lose a review.

AUS 55/1 (7)

50 up for Australia in the seventh over! Boundary from Mitchell Marsh, who gets a move-on with that stroke. Well swept by the Australian captain against Axar Patel, who is making things tricky for the hosts. 

AUS 52/1 (6.3)

Two boundaries on the final over of the powerplay, both off Josh Inglis' blade against Jasprit Bumrah. Australia made a great start in the first 4 overs, but Axar helped pull things back with a timely wicket.

AUS 48/1 (6)

OUT! Big wicket! The dangerous Matt Short is gone thanks to an excellent DRS call by Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav. Axar Patel trapped Short on the pads after the latter missed his sweep, but the umpire gave not out. India take the DRS, and hawkeye shows three reds!

AUS 37/1 (4.5)

Matt Short goes big again! SIX more! The right-hander rocks back and deposits Varun Chakravarthy's second ball into the stands over deep mid-wicket. This is an excellent start for Australia.

AUS 32/0 (3.1)

Top edge goes for 4! Expensive over from Arshdeep, 15 off it. Sharp short delivery, Marsh goes for the pull, but the top edge goes over the keeper's head and behind for a boundary. Immediate bowling change from SKY, as he brings on Varun Chakravarthy.

AUS 26/0 (3)

What a shot! First maximum of the Australian innings comes from the new opener Matt Short. Slower ball but it's full and in the slot from Arshdeep, and is handsomely hit back over the bowler's head for a straight 6. 

Two balls later, Short takes the aerial route again, clears mid-off and grabs 4 more.

AUS 21/0 (2.3)

Lovely shot by Mitch Marsh. Delicately placed between third-man and gully, and it goes away for 4. Complete control over the stroke. It's his first boundary of the game, and it comes against Jasprit Bumrah. Decent stuff from Bumrah otherwise, though. Just 5 off his first.

AUS 11/0 (2)

Mitchell Marsh is opening with Matt Short. No Josh Inglis or Josh Philippe. Arshdeep Singh takes the new ball for India. The left-arm seamer delivered three wickets in the previous match.

And Short slams a boundary first ball! Down the leg-side from Arshdeep, and it's flicked away for 4.

AUS 5/0 (0.2)

When Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill smashed 18 and 13 runs in the 13th and 14th over respectively, it seemed like India were set to pile up at least 180. However, Zampa and Ellis turned on the heat and they've restricted the visitors to just 167/8.

Over to a much-changed Australian team to chase this down! Can India's bowlers step up?

The late finish from Axar Patel takes India to a total of 167 in 20 overs. Much-needed hits from the left-hander. Arshdeep Singh departed for a duck in the last over too. A decent total on the board, but India will need their bowlers to put in a great performance in order to win this match.

IND 167/8 (20)

AUS Target - 168

Axar Patel goes berserk! He has slammed a boundary and then a maximum on the first two balls of the 20th over, which is being bowled by Stoinis. Crucial blows from the left-handed all-rounder. 

IND 164/7 (19.3)

End of Nathan Ellis' spell. Another game where he has been Australia's best bowler. Three big wickets as well - Shubman Gill, Shivam Dube and Washington Sundar. He ends with figures of 3/21 in 4 overs, and his spell has firmly dismantled the Indian innings.

IND 153/7 (19)

GONE! Washington Sundar departs for just 12. Nathan Ellis bag his third wicket, and it is turning into a seriously good 19th over from the pacer. Washington looks for a lofted shot on the off-side, but gets caught at mid-off.

IND 152/7 (18.4)

Washington Sundar, the hero of the previous match, has been handed the responsibility of taking India to a total of 170+ here. Washington has already hit two boundaries, but he'll need to strike a few more lusty blows to provide the perfect finish.

IND 149/6 (18)

Zampa strikes again! 3 wickets in 10 balls! Jitesh Sharma attempts a sweep but gets caught on the pads. The umpire gives it not out, but Australia go for the DRS. And guess what, it's three reds and Jitesh is out!

IND 136/6 (16.4)

Another wicket! Tilak Varma departs cheaply, as Adam Zampa picks up his second wicket of the day. Sharp catch taken by Josh Inglis behind the stumps, as Tilak ends up gloving it. Pressure on RCB star Jitesh Sharma and last match's hero Washington Sundar to provide a good finish.

IND 131/5 (16.1)

GONE! The Indian captain departs. Just as he was settling in to provide a fiery finish, he gets dismissed. Xavier Bartlett, who dropped a catch earlier in the day, takes his first wicket. SKY goes for the big shot, but gets caught in the deep. Tim David takes a great running catch, somehow hanging onto the ball with his fingertips.

IND 125/4 (15.1)

Bowled! Nathan Ellis strikes again! Ellis has been arguably Australia's best bowler in this series, and he's made the difference again at a crucial juncture. Excellent slower delivery, Gill goes for a drive but misses it. The ball knocks over his stumps.

Gill goes for 46, misses out on a half-century by 4 runs.

IND 121/3 (14.1)

18 and 13 in the last two overs for India. Suryakumar Yadav has shown intent straight after coming in, and Gill has picked up the pace too. The rampage has taken India's run-rate to nearly 9.

IND 121/2 (14)

DRS review saves Shubman Gill! Marcus Stoinis' slower delivery caught him on the pad, and the umpire raised his finger. But Gill takes the review, and UltraEdge shows a spike near the bat. Two balls later, Gill smashes a 6 over deep mid-wicket! He is into the 40s.

IND 116/2 (13.4)

Suryakumar Yadav goes berserk! The Indian captain executes the slog sweep against the spinner Adam Zampa, and gets rewarded heavily. The first one is mistimed, but still goes for 6. The second maximum is cleanly hit, and goes a long way. 100 up for India!

IND 105/2 (12.4)

OUT! Ellis gets Dube! It's a CSK player dismissing another CSK player. Slower ball from the Aussie pacer, Dube looks to nudge by giving himself some room, but ends up chopping it onto the stumps.

In comes captain Suryakumar Yadav.

IND 88/2 (11.3)

Smashed! What a hit from Shivam Dube! The left-hander shows his might against the spin of Adam Zampa. Gets down on one knee and clobbers it over long-on for 6. Dube has started rather well after being sent up at No. 3.

Looks like the ball has been lost!

IND 82/1 (10.2)

Halfway stage in the Indian innings. The run-rate has dropped a tad following the departure of Abhishek Sharma. The boundaries have dried up a little. Gill is on his way to a half-century, but he's on a strike rate of only 117.

IND 75/1 (10)

Lovely timing from Shivam Dube. Width offered by Dwarshuis and it's caressed through the backward point region by the southpaw. That boundary will give Dube a lot of confidence, as he aims to justify the promotion to No. 3.

IND 66/1 (8.1)

Interesting call here by Team India - Shivam Dube has been sent in at No. 3. Suryakumar Yadav, the captain, has once again sacrificed his batting position, choosing to back the out-of-form left-hander instead. It's been a common trend of SKY's tenure as India captain.

IND 58/1 (7)

GONE! Adam Zampa roars back! Tossed up delivery tempts Abhishek to go for another aggressive slog, but this one he doesn't connect as well. Straight to the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Tim David takes the catch. End of Abhishek's early charge.

IND 56/1 (6.4)

Abhishek is fully in the mood now! In comes Adam Zampa to bowl, and Abhishek clobbers him for 6 on his second ball. The left-hander steps out and stamps his authority, sending the ball over long-on. 50 up for India!

IND 56/0 (6.2)

FOUR! Abhishek Sharma responds to the previous short ball in style! Comes down the track and hammers the final ball of the sixth over for 4! Terrific shot. That shot takes India's run-rate above 8 in the powerplay phase.

IND 49/0 (6)

Sharp bouncer from Stoinis takes Abhishek by surprise! He is hit on the grill of his helmet. A pause in play, with physios coming out to check up on the India opener. Looks to be a clear plan from Australia against Abhishek - either wide yorker or short stuff!

IND 45/0 (5.5)

Abhishek Sharma breaks the shackles and gets 4! Too short, and a slower one, from Stoinis. It gives Abhishek enough time to ready his shot and slam it for 4 over mid-wicket. Second boundary for the left-hander, who is going at an unusually low strike rate so far.

IND 44/0 (5.3)

Shubman Gill looking really good here! Another boundary for India's vice-captain. He steps out but then executes a classy flick last-minute to guide the ball for 4 through mid-wicket. Gill being the aggressor in the early overs, while Abhishek is taking some time to settle in.

IND 38/0 (5)

Two boundaries for Gill! First one, bowled on the pads by Ellis and flicked away fine by Gill. The next one is shorter, wider; Gill comes down the track and dispatches it for 4 through extra cover. Really positive start.

IND 30/0 (3.3)

Gill into the party! Comes down the track and slams Dwarshuis back over his head for 4. Lovely shot from India's vice-captain. He will be aiming to get a good score today, with some firm scrutiny already over his form.

IND 17/0 (2.1)

Abhishek Sharma slams the first boundary of the match! Width offered by Bartlett, and Abhishek simply thumps it through the covers. Cracking shot. Abhishek will be looking to make Bartlett pay for dropping the catch in the previous over!

IND 13/0 (2)

India are off to a steady start as Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill score three runs in the first over of Ben Dwarshius. The duo showed some glimpse of their attacking side in the first over but failed to get a boundary. However, they will look for some fours in the upcoming overs. 

IND 3/0 (1)

Oh! That's a massive blunder from Xavier Bartlett as Australia miss out on the golden opportunity of dismissing Abhishek Sharma for duck. A good length delivery from Ben Dwarshius and Abhishek hammers it hard for a big shot. However, the shot lacks timing and goes towards the backward point where Bartlett fails to take the catch as Abhishek survives. 

IND 1/0 (0.1 over)

The fourth T20I between India and Australia finally begins. For India, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma will be opening the proceedings. Gill, who has registered back-to-back low scores in the shortest format, will be eager to contribute with a big knock. On the other hand, Ben Dwarshius will be bowling the first over for Australia. Let's play!! 

"This is what you play bilaterals for, you challenge yourself and it is a beautiful stadium, everything to play for. The preparation has been good. We had a day off, had a good practice session yesterday, looks like a subcontinent wicket, later on it might get slower so we are happy to bat first. We were looking to bat first. Looks similar to Indian conditions, put runs on the board and we want to take up that challenge. We are going with the same team," said Suryakumar Yadav. 

"We are going to bowl first. We don't play a lot here. It is great to be here, will try to get as much information about the surface as we can. It is great, five-match series going down to the last two games, both teams will be pumped. We have four changes - Zampa, Maxwell, Philippe and Dwarshuis come in for four other guys," said Mitchell Marsh. 

Australia XI vs India: Mitchell Marsh (c), Matthew Short, Josh Inglis (wk), Tim David, Josh Philippe, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa.

4 changes! Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa, Josh Philippe and Ben Dwarshuis enter the Australian team.

India XI vs Australia: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shivam Dube, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah.

No changes for Team India after their win in the previous game. Bold call taken by Suryakumar and coach Gambhir, with the likes of Sanju Samson and Harshit Rana remaining on the sidelines.

Australia win the toss and opt to bowl! The luck goes the way of Mitchell Marsh once again. 4 changes announced by Australia! India going ahead with the same team, announces Suryakumar Yadav.

It is important to remember that India left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been released from their T20I squad in order to join the India A team for their second unofficial Test against South Africa A, and get some preparation for the Test series coming up.

We are just about 15 minutes away from toss time in Queensland. Suryakumar Yadav won the toss in the third T20I, and he'll be hoping some more luck comes his way today. So far, both matches have been won by the team that won the toss.

All-rounder Glenn Maxwell returns to the Australian team for the fourth T20I, and that will certainly be a big help in easing the losses of Head and Hazlewood. With Maxwell making his comeback, Mitch Owen could get a promotion to the top of the order, alongside captain Mitch Marsh.

An intriguing bit ahead of the fourth T20I: this is India's first-ever match at the Carrara Oval in Queensland. It will be interesting to see how Suryakumar Yadav and co. fare at a venue completely unknown to them!

Each of the three changes made by India for the third T20I paid off. Arshdeep Singh picked up three wickets, Washington Sundar smashed a 23-ball 49, and Jitesh Sharma guided India home with a late cameo.

As a result, it would not be a surprise to see India go ahead with the same playing XI today.

The sequence of scores for Shubman Gill since the start of the ODI series reads 10, 9, 24, 37 not out, 5, and 15. The only time he looked in good nick was at Canberra when he stitched a nice little stand with skipper Suryakumar Yadav. Gill has been troubled by fuller deliveries with a hint of movement and throughout the better part, he hasn't exactly looked in the regal touch which has made him the player that he is.

Going into the fourth game, there won't be any Travis Head or Josh Hazlewood (also missed the 3rd T20I) for Australia as the duo is set to play Sheffield Shield to prepare for the Ashes. With two pillars of the rival team unavailable, this is the best chance for India to go 2-1 up before the final game at the Gabba and wrap up a series win.

The fourth T20I is extremely decisive for the outcome of the series. With both teams tied 1-1 after three games, the winner of this game will ensure that they don't lose the series. India lost the ODI series, so they'll be desperate to make amends in the T20Is.

Shubman Gill will be looking to turn the tables with a big knock after what has been an underwhelming tour when a confident India aim to go one up against a depleted Australia.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the fourth T20I of the five-match series between India and Australia, straight from the Carrara Oval, Queensland. Stay tuned for all the live updates.
