He is currently the leading run-scorer in the series, with 176 runs in four innings at an impressive average of 58.67. With the series finale set to be played, the hosts will be hoping for another impactful performance from their captain to help secure a consolation victory.
Probable Best Bowler: Adam Zampa
The leg-spinner Adam Zampa could prove to be a key bowler in the fifth T20I of the series. Despite conceding runs at a high rate, he has taken seven wickets across four matches, providing crucial breakthroughs that have played a significant role in Australia’s victories so far.
