Preview
The fifth and final T20I of the series will be played between India and Australia at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. With an unassailable 3-1 lead in the T20I series, the Men in Blue will have the opportunity to give a chance to few of their players who are yet to play before going on the South African tour. As far as Australia are concerned, they have made a whole heap of changes in their playing XI throughout the five-match T20I series, which could be the case before they shift their attention to the home summer of cricket.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium are known for the batters to make hay in the shortest format, but at the same time, some of the top bowlers have found reasonable success here. The average first innings total at this venue in T20I is 139, which might be surprisingly low for some, which is something either India or Australia are likely to go past with a good start in the initial overs on December 3.
Team Analysis
India
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad have played a key role at the top of the order for India in the ongoing T20I series, setting up a platform for the captain Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, and the rest of the middle order to put big totals on the board. Ravi Bishnoi has been very consistent for India in the bowling department, while Axar Patel and Avesh Khan have chipped-in with key wickets too.

Australia
With no consistent selections from the Australian team management to manage the workload of players, the responsibility of batting rests firmly on the likes of Travis Head and the captain Matthew Wade during the ongoing T20I series. In the bowling side of things, Jason Behrendorff has performed quite consistently for Australia, but the rest of the bowlers haven’t managed to compliment him well enough, to concede high scores in the first four matches of the T20I series.

Match Prediction
Conclusion
India have been the better team right throughout the T20I series against Australia, winning three out of four matches, while suffering their only defeat on the final ball. That’s why, the Men in Blue will have a clear advantage over the Aussies, going into the fifth and final T20I on December 3.
