India vs Australia Chance Winning
Australia managed to stay alive in the series with a thrilling victory in the third T20 international in Guwahati on Tuesday. The fourth T20I will also be a must-win game for them as they trail the five-match series by 1-2.
The visitors won the toss and opted to bowl first for the second time in a row. Jason Behrendorff removed Yashasvi Jaiswal early while Kane Richardson took out Ishan Kishan for a duck. India were 24 for 2 in 2.3 overs but Suryakumar Yadav batted in his natural style. He took on the bowlers and hit 39 off 29 to help India recover.
On the other end, Ruturaj Gaikwad struggled to get going and was on run-a-ball 21 at the halfway stage. What followed was an incredible display of shotmaking. Gaikwad took the responsibility after Yadav's dismissal and obliterated the bowling attack. He smashed 13 fours and seven maximums en route to his maiden international century. Ruturaj ended with an unbeaten 123 off 57 to power India to 222.
Chasing a huge target, Australia had a quick start but also lost three wickets for 68 in 6.2 overs. Glenn Maxwell was doing his thing at one end but Marcus Stoinis had a disastrous time in the middle, managing just 17 off 21 deliveries.
The asking rate had gone too high but Maxwell kept going. Australia needed 43 runs in the last two overs but Suryakumar made a critical error in handing the ball to left-arm spinner Axar Patel. Australia took 22 runs off it before Maxwell smashed Prasidh Krishna for a six and three fours to end the game on the final ball. Maxwell finished on a magnificent 104 not-out in 48 deliveries.
Despite losing the last game, the home side will head into this game as favourites. Check out the two teams' chances of winning the fourth T20I on Friday.
- India's chance of winning: 60%

India to hit most fours @ 1.88 (PARIMATCH)
Australia will have a weaker batting line-up in this game without Josh Inglis and Glenn Maxwell. India, on the other hand, have in-form batters such as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan and Rinku Singh. Betting on India to score most fours in the match is a wise move.

Travis Head to be the top batter for Australia
Travis Head returned to the side after resting in the first two games and scored 35 off 18. The left hand batter has carried his stunning form from the World Cup. He has 10 fifties and a hundred to his credit in the shorter format. Back Head to be Australia's top batter.
