Toss Prediction
Four of the last six ODIs (that have produced results other than tie) at the M. Chinnaswamy have been won by the side that has batted second. Moreover, since there is a huge possibility of showers before and on the match day, the team that wins the toss in this game might prefer to bowl first as a rain-curtailed game tends to benefit the chasing side more.

India Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Shikhar Dhawan, who missed the first three ODIs due to family issues, has withdrawn himself from the remainder of the series. No replacement has been announced by the selectors as of yet. It will be interesting to see if the team decides to tweak the current lineup a little bit after having already clinched the series.
Key Players
Ajinkya Rahane has scored back-to-back fifties and he will be India's key batsman at the top along with skipper Virat Kohli who made a valuable 92 at Kolkata. Hardik Pandya has been a revelation for the side with his match-winning performances and he will be crucial with both the bat and the ball. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been fantastic with the new ball while Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have been chipping away at the wickets.
Recent Form
India have equalled their previous best winning-streak record of nine consecutive ODI wins, courtesy of a convincing five-wicket victory in the last match. Most of their batsmen have had good hits in this series and their death bowling has also improved in recent times.
India Predicted Playing 11

Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal
Australia Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Ashton Agar injured his hand while fielding in the last game and he is set to fly back home for treatment. His replacement in the squad has not been named yet by the team management. Adam Zampa could get an opportunity in this upcoming game as a like-for-like replacement.
Key Players
With scores of 59 and 63 in the last two games, Steven Smith has been the most successful Australian batsman on this tour so far. Aaron Finch struck a magnificent 124 in his very first game the other day and the Indian bowlers will now be wary of him too. Nathan Coulter-Nile is leading the wickets charts with seven scalps while Pat Cummins has been very hard to put away for runs. Both these bowlers continue to be the key for Australia.
Recent Form
Australia have now lost their last six one-day internationals on the bounce and have lost their last 11 ODIs away from home which is a big cause of worry for the team. What's even more worrying is that they have been ending up losing from strong positions.
Australia Predicted Playing 11

Steven Smith (c), Aaron Finch, David Warner, Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Peter Handscomb (wk), Adam Zampa, Pat Cummins, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Kane Richardson

India vs Australia Head to Head
India have now beaten Australia in their last four ODI encounters. While three of these wins have come in this series itself, one was secured last year at Sydney. The hosts also have a superior head-to-head record at the M. Chinnaswamy having defeated the visitors four times out of five.
India vs Australia 4th ODI Betting Odds
Australia have done a good job with the ball but their batting has been well below-par in this series. They are on a losing streak right now and this is only going to add to the pressure. The tourists once again start off as outsiders for this game at 2.6 with Betfair and 2.50 with Bet365. India will grow in confidence after their series-clinching performance in the last match and they are the bookmakers' favorites to win at 1.61 with 1xbet and 1.53 with Bet365.
India vs Australia 4th ODI Prediction
Australia have only been able to defeat India just once at this ground and that happened way back in 2003. The latter have been doing well here of late - five wins and a tie in their previous six one-day internationals. Australia's biggest problem has been their middle-order collapses and if they don't rectify it soon, they will be staring at a series whitewash. India have been very impressive with their allround performance and we predict them to emerge victorious once again.
Final Verdict: Back India to beat Australia in the fourth ODI at 1.61 with 1xbet and 1.53 with Bet365.
