That’s all from me this evening as India’s depth continues to shine through especially as Australia’s lineup is weakened by the departure of several first-choice players to pre-Test duties. We’ll be back on Saturday for the fifth and final T20 as Australia chase a victory in Brisbane to level the series.
But, for now, here is the full report from India’s 48-run win on the Gold Coast.

Australia can still level the series in the fifth and final T20 on Saturday but Mitch Marsh can’t hide his disappointment at letting this game slip.
We thought [India’s] 167 was par. But it provided us with a few challenges and we failed to go over the line. Fair play to India, they are a world-class team.
The Australia skipper refuses to blame the shake up in the squad as players leave to prepare for a certain red-ball series to come.
You ideally want to have an full-strength side at all times but the boys have a big series coming up. And we want to give more boys opportunities too. The more opportunities these guys get is great especially in a high-pressure game like this.
