Pitch Report

Short boundaries and a good batting track describe the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, the spinners also tend to get some assistance from the wicket, and tweakers from both sides will be looking to make the most of it. The skipper winning the toss might prefer to bowl first.

Probable playing XI

India

Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match 

Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan is the leading run-scorer in the series with 191 runs in just four matches. The left-handed batter is playing at an excellent average of almost 48, and he scores runs at a brisk pace as well. The left-handed batter will want to continue his good form in the series decider as well.

Probable best bowler of the match 

Tabraiz Shamsi

Ranked number three in ICC T20 rankings, spinner Tabraiz Shamsi is not having a good time in the series as he has scalped only one wicket so far. However, the left-arm spinner can turn out to be a match-winner for his side during the fifth T20I. Shamsi bowls slow through the air and has a lot of variations. He also has an idea of the conditions at Chinnaswamy as he was previously associated with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL.
