Vice-captain Shubman Gill responded to doubts about his place and intent with a pivotal 46 runs off 39 balls, proving crucial in challenging conditions. He showed renewed aggression during the field-restriction phase and strengthened his claim for a stable position in the team.

India totaled 167/8 in 20 overs.

Pacer Nathan Ellis was impressive, taking 3 wickets for 21 runs. However, Australia’s run chase faltered early as captain Mitchell Marsh (30) and opening batsman Matthew Short (25) were dismissed quickly.

"Gill showed signs of renewed intent inside the field-restriction phase and ultimately proved to be an asset for his team on the night they secured one hand on the trophy."

Despite weather uncertainties, India looks well placed to clinch the series decider at The Gabba.

Summary: India leads 2-1 in the T20I series against Australia, with strong performances from key players like Shubman Gill and Nathan Ellis shaping the contest ahead of the final match.
