Abhishek Sharma is known for his aggressive batting, and Xavier Bartlett can trap him with some variations in the new ball. In the last few T20Is, Bartlett has troubled Abhishek a bit therefore it’s going to be interesting to see in the fifth T20I.
Mitchell Marsh vs Arshdeep Singh:

Marsh has been one of the most powerful hitters in this format, but he couldn’t showcase his fireworks in this series so far. Asrhdeep Singh has bowled phenomenally against him and expected to repeat the same in the fifth game, but if Marsh is in good touch, then Arshdeep’s economy rate will be very high.
Glenn Maxwell vs Varun Chakravarthy:
