After winning the last T20I India may not think of making significant changes to their playing XI. But chances are fast bowler Avesh Khan, who has went wicketless in the series thus far, could be dropped and either Arshdeep Singh or Umran Malik will get to make their international debut.

Khan has returned figures of 0/35 in 4 overs, 0/17 in 3 overs and 0/35 in 4 overs in the first, second and third T20I respectively. Given Arshdeep's economical figures and death bowling prowess in the recently concluded IPL, the left-arm medium pacer might get a nod ahead of Umran Malik. Except for this change, team India is likely to field the same playing XI for the penultimate T20I as in the third game of the series.
