Suryakumar Yadav-led India will lock horns against Australia for the fifth and last T20I of the five-match series, which is scheduled to take place at the iconic Gabba Stadium in Brisbane. The fifth T20I is crucial for both sides: if the Men in Blue defeat Australia, they will clinch the series; on the other hand, if the Mitchell Marsh-led side wins the fifth clash, the series will end in a draw. Team India will be confident, having won the last two T20Is of the series. However, the threat of rain looms large over the match.
Brisbane weather report
As per Accuweather.com, there is a huge chance of rainfall throughout the day in Brisbane. The clash is scheduled to start from 6.15 PM local time, and during this time, there is a 79% chance of rainfall in the evening. This means that there is a high chance that the game is delayed due to rain.
There is a chance that the clash might be completely washed out due to rain. If this happens, this will be the second washout of the series after the first game in Canberra.
What happens if the India vs Australia 5th T20I is washed out?
If the fifth T20I between India and Australia is washed out due to rain, then the match will be ended without a result, which means that there will be no effect on the current state of the series. The series will thus end with a 2-1 margin advantage to India. So if the clash is washed out, then India will win this series as they are already leading 2-1.
