IND vs AUS Dream11 Prediction for Australia tour of India 2023 5th T20I, Playing XI, and Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

India (IND) and Australia (AUS) will square against each other in the 5th and last T20I of the five-match series at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Although India has taken an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the series by winning the 5th T20I in Raipur by 20 runs still both the teams have a lot to play for given the T20 World Cup is just months away and players from both the teams would want to secure a place in their respective squad for the World Cup.

Australia is playing with their relatively newer team as their star players have left for Australia after a successful ODI World Cup and they are auditioning their youngsters who have performed well in their domestic circuit and at the BBL. On the other hand, India will try to find a winning combination for the World Cup as the participation of Virat and Rohit is still uncertain in the World Cup.

Pitch and Playing Conditions

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium's compact dimensions set it apart from other international stadiums in India. Its relatively smaller size contributes to the high-scoring nature of matches played at the venue. The pitch also favors run-scoring, with a predominantly flat surface, though it can occasionally turn in favor of the spinners.

Out of the total matches played here teams batting first have won 12 times whereas the chasing teams have emerged victorious 14 times. According to Accuweather, the temperature will be a maximum of 25 degrees and a minimum of 20 degrees Celsius. However, rain can play a spoilsport in the match as there is a chance of 55% precipitation in Bengaluru on December 3.
