IND vs AUS 4th T20I Highlights: India take 2-1 lead in series after spinners bowl Australia out for 119

What looked like a below-average score, India have defended it rather comprehensively to take a 2-1 lead in the series. Shubman Gill's knock will be talked about and fittingly he takes the final catch, even though he did drop one a ball before. India's bowlers have been fantastic as the spin trio did the job on a sluggish track at Carrara.

Australia are bowled out for 119 and India win the game by 48 runs. Washington Sundar has figures of 3/3 and Australian batters just couldn't handle the spin from the Indian bowlers. 

Washington Sundar has two wickets in two balls as India are just running through the Australian line-up. Marcus Stoinis was trapped LBW tried to play a reverse, while Sundar caught and bowled Xavier Bartlett on the very next delivery. Australia are eight down now.

Varun Chakravarthy has cleaned up Glenn Maxwell and the Victorian's return to competitive cricket wasn't the greatest. India have the hosts six down now.

Arshdeep Singh has bowled an exceptional over, conceding just one run and took the wicket of Josh Philippe, who was looking good. Australia are five down now.

India are just hanging in there with Tim David throwing his wicket away. Shivam Dube bent his back to bowl a slower bouncer and David could only get a top edge and captain Suryakumar Yadav takes a simple catch.

Shivam Dube has picked up the prized wicket of Mitchell Marsh. The Australia captain departed after scoring 30 runs off 24 balls. He attempted to clear the ropes but Arshdeep Singh picked up a good catch to end his stay in the middle. Australia are 70/3 after 9.2 overs. 

Josh Inglis departed after scoring 12 runs off 11 balls. Axar Patel with his second one of the night. 

A decent start from Australia. Seven overs gone, they are 55/1. Despite Short's wicket, India couldn't take advantage as Australia will look to get the job done. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side need wickets to get back. 

Axar Patel drew the first blood. He got the better of Matthew Short, who made 25 runs off 19 balls. After the ball his pads, the Indian team was optimistic for a possible LBW, but the umpire refused to raise his finger. After a DRS appeal, it was confirmed as Short had to move back to the pavilion.

Australia are 11/0 after two overs. Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah hit the line early on but the visitors desperatly needs wickets to stay in the contest.

Marcus Stoinis also got a wicket, bowling the final over, dismissing Arshdeep Singh and India end with 167/8. Axar Patel hit a six and a four but India couldn't breach the 175-mark as Australia will fancy their chance of chasing it down.

India haven't gotten the momentum in their innings at all and Washington Sundar has departed now as Ellis gets his third. India are seven down now. 

Adam Zampa has struck a double blow in his final over of the spell and India are digging a hole for themselves. Shubman Gill's knock forced everyone else to try to hit from the first ball itself and in the process, India are losing wickets in a flurry.

Nathan Ellis with his third wicket of the night. Washington Sundar departed for 12 runs off seven balls. India's struggle continue as they are on 152/7

Captain Suryakumar Yadav departs now as Xavier Bartlett's short delivery got big on him, and a simple catch for Tim David as India have lost four wickets now.

Shubman Gill's laboured knock has come to an end, thanks to Nathan Ellis. Gill did hit a six in the last over of Marcus Stoinis but now tried to play across against Ellus and has lost his wicket. 

India's innings was meandering at the time of Shivam Dube's wicket and Suryakumar Yadav, with a couple of sixes off Adam Zampa and India are moving again.

Dube hit a six in the last over of Adam Zampa but Nathan Ellis has disturbed the timber behind him as the left-hander's scratchy stay has ended. India are going nowhere with their innings.

Shubman Gill was 23* off 15 when he scored his last boundary in the fifth over of India's innings. Since then, he has scored just 11 runs in 15 balls after the powerplay as India are piling up dot balls. Even Shivam Dube, apart from a six and a four, looked like a fish out of the water as India's innings is going nowhere.

Six and out! Abhishek Sharma has handed one straight to the long-on fielder, trying to sustain the pressure on Adam Zampa, who was bowling the first over of his spell in his first appearance of the series. Zampa has struck and Abhishek failed to get to the 1,000 mark, falling 11 runs short.

Shubman Gill smashed four boundaries, while Abhishek Sharma hit three fours as India got through the powerplay wicketless. Gill looked more in control while Abhishek struggled for timing today.

Surprisingly, Abhishek Sharma wasn't able to get it out of the middle of the bat, but Shubman Gill, under pressure, made a good start, playing to the merit of the ball as India were off to a steady start on the Gold Coast.

Ben Dwarshuis has the ball in his hand and Indian openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill are out in the middle as the Men in Blue look to get a good start after losing the toss in the fourth T20I.

Being an AFL venue like most other Australian grounds, the Carrara Oval has a drop-in surface, but Aaron Finch reckoned that it will good for batting. There were blue skies and hence, the bowlers might not get much assistance, and if Indian captain Surya's words to be taken, he mentioned that it looked like a sub-continent wicket and it might slow down later on.

In the most recent five games at the venue in the BBL, four games have been won by the team batting first as the ball comes onto the bat nicely in the first innings and India will hope that it stays that way, having lost the toss.

Playing XI: Mitchell Marsh(c), Matthew Short, Josh Inglis(w), Tim David, Josh Philippe, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Ben Dwarshuis, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa

Playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Jitesh Sharma(w), Shivam Dube, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah

Australian skipper Mitchell Marsh won the toss again and opted to bowl first at the Carrara Oval on the Gold Coast. Marsh said that it was a new venue for the team and hence, having a score in front to chase down was a better option as they'd get the information about the surface as they go along in the game. Marsh's Indian counterpart, Suryakumar Yadav, reckoned that the surface may slow down in the second innings and hence, wanted to bat first.

Tilak Varma (991) and Abhishek Sharma (961) are nearing huge milestones of 1,000 runs in T20Is. While Tilak Varma has played 32 innings, Abhishek could achieve the landmark six innings quicker than his fellow southpaw and teammate. 

Carrara Oval, the Metricon Stadium (its earlier name) or now the People First Stadium, will be hosting only its third men's international game and the first in three years. There was a 10-overs-per-side clash back in 2018 and a full game in 2022, which was a sub-140 clash. More recently, the surfaces at the Gold Coast stadium has produced big scores in the BBL and ahead of the new home season, both teams will hope that there are plenty of runs in there.

India and Australia will have everything to play for in the fourth T20I, with the series levelled 1-1. India stormed back into the series with a professional run chase in Hobart in the third T20I, while Australia had won the second game in Melbourne on a spicy wicket. It is a new venue for both teams and it will be interesting to see how the pitch at Gold Coast plays, with both teams gunning to take a lead.
