Series: 5th T20 Match
Venue: Melbourne Cricket Ground – Melbourne, Australia
Info:
Glenn Maxwell has two good knocks in two games and we feel he is not far away from a real big knock. Back him as Australia top batter.
Pathum Nissanka is the leading run-scorer of the series and has been the lone warrior for Sri Lanka. Back him as Sri Lanka top batter.
Adam Zampa is likely to take most wickets for Australia. The wicket in Melbourne will suit the spinner and long boundaries will also be an advantage to him

Team News:
AUS Team News:
Australia is trying out different combination thus we may see a lot of changes in the final game. They may rest quite a few of their regulars like Hazlewood.
SL Team News:
With the series already lost, Sri Lanka will be desperate for a win. However, they will also see this as an opportunity to test their bench strength. The fringe players might get a chance in the match.

Winning Chances:
Who will win today match: AUS vs SL T20 Match Team
Sri Lanka has been let down by their batters. But this was not unexpected. Australia have a quality bowling lineup and it was never going to be easy for the visitors. With a clean sweep on their minds, Australia will not let Sri Lanka off their hook. The hosts are big favourites.
AUS Key Players:
Glenn Maxwell:
Glenn Maxwell now has two back to back good knocks. After scoring 39 in the third T20I, he scored 48 in the last game. He is slowly getting into his groove which is a positive sign for Australia.
Josh Inglis:
Josh has been very consistent in the series. In the last game, he made a quickfire 40 off 20 balls. He is fighting for a spot in the World Cup team and he would love to continue with the momentum.
Adam Zampa:
Given the conditions, Zampa will be a big threat for Sri Lanka. The ground is also massive which gives Zampa a bit more cushion.
SL Key Players:
Pathum Nissanka:
Nissanka has been brilliant in the series. He is the highest run-scorer with 171 runs in the series. He has performed well against a daunting bowling lineup and has lived up to the tag of the most promising Sri Lanka batter.
Kusal Mendis:
Mendis looked good in the last game and scored 27 before being run out. He would like to make amends and take Sri Lanka to a win.
Maheesh Theekshana:
Theekshana had a great game and bowled a spell of 20-1 in the fourth T20I. With the wicket assisting spinners, he will have a good chance of delivering another good performance.
Team Forms:
AUS Team Form:
Australia as a team has been phenomenal. Barring Finch, all have contributed to the wins.
