There hasn't been much that has gone England's way in the series so far and they will be desperate to find positives from what has so far been a disappointing series for them. The series currently hangs at 3-0 with Australia leading and just one match to go. England were pretty much in a similar position before the Sydney Test, but they fought tooth and nail to achieve a thrilling draw, probably too late in the series, but nevertheless an important one.
All eyes will be on the Hobart Test to see if England are able to replicate their last match's fight once again. It has been 11 Tests down under since England last won a match in Australia and given the way they have played in the series so far, things are going to be very difficult for them. Having said that, the pink-ball conditions should them better than the red ball and they will be fancying their chances. Aussies, too, have won eight out of eight day-night Tests they have played.
The fifth Test in the Ashes 2021 will start from 14th January 2021 and will be played at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. Regardless of how the two sides have done, this is an important contest and this will be a hard-fought contest. Certainly not the won to miss out.
Australia have clearly endured their share of bad luck with a number of injuries and covid scares they have sustained over the course of this series. Much to their credit, though, they have dealt with those brilliantly and are, therefore, leading the series 3-0. They have undoubtedly been completely dominant in the series and might have had a four-game lead had England not put up a dogged effort in the last match.
Technically and theoretically, there wasn't much that Australia did wrong in the previous Test, in which they had to settle with a draw. They were aggressive in their approach with batting and bowling both contributing beautifully. Pat Cummins was decisive with his captaincy as he not only marshaled his troops well but also declared at a perfect time in both the innings.
With the ball as well, Cummins has been Australia's best bowler in the series, even though he has only 14 wickets to show for as his reward. With surface expected to help the bowlers at Hobart, he will be a major threat once again. Also, at least one of Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland are expected to join Josh Hazlewood on the sidelines, thereby putting more onus on Pat Cummins to do well. In fact, that makes the bet on him to be the best bowler of the match ever more lucrative.
With the bat as well, Australia have done a reasonably good job even with an inconsistent opening pair. While David Warner and Marcus Harris have done a reasonable job at the top, they have underperformed as a pair. With Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, and Usman Khawaja doing well, the inconsistency at the top hasn't really been a telling factor, as far as the Australians are concerned.
Despite the bowlers looking weary and the likes of Smith and Warner not being at their dominant best, Australia seem to be a well-equipped side. Almost all of their players have had at least one good outing and that has increased the morale of the team. Cameron Green has really helped the side with the batting depth and his presence adds to the confidence of the team. Besides, with Nathan Lyon and Pat Cummins available down the order, who both are no mugs with the bat, Australia have a batting lineup that goes deep.
All in all, Australia have almost everything in order going into the final test of the Ashes 2021. Also, their record in the pink-ball Tests is spotless thus far, having won all of the eight matches they have played. They would need to be watchful of not being complacent and if they do that and manage to perform how they have had in the series, they would be good to score their fourth win of the series.

Even though England have been completely outplayed in the series, including the fourth match, their fans would be pretty content with the kind of performance England managed to put at Sydney. Unlike the case in the first three matches, England were full of commitment and fight at Sydney as they drew the match to keep the series at 3-0.
The primary reason for England's solid rearguard in the previous match was the combination of fighting knocks from Jonny Bairstow, Zak Crawley, and Ben Stokes. It was refreshing to see players apart from Joe Root contribute with the bat and England would want that to continue. Having said that, there are injury concerns surrounding Bairstow and Stokes and their absence, in case they are not fully fit, could prove to be a massive blow for the visitors. Jos Buttler has already flown home and is likely to be replaced by Sam Billings.
Failing to keep Aussie batting twice on two occasions in the last match, England dealy missed Ollie Robinson in their bowling attack. The news is that he has completely recovered from the shoulder niggle and is expected to make a return to the playing eleven. Despite having played just three matches, he is England's leading wicket-taker in the series and will hold the key in the upcoming match as well. Mark Wood truly surprised one and all with his durability and given that James Anderson looked slightly rusty at the back-end of the Sydney Test, Ollie Robinson is expected to come in place of Anderson in this upcoming match. Also, given his recent record, a bet on him to be the best bowler of the match for England seems to be a pretty good option.
Even though there were plenty of positives for England in the previous match, there are a number of things they'll need to work upon going into the next match. First and foremost, Haseeb Hameed has been nothing more than a walking wicket at the top and we might well see him sitting out in the next match. Apart from that, England will need to be a bit more attacking than they have been so as to assert themselves on the Aussies right from the word go. Also, if Ben Stokes plays this match solely as a batsman, England will be a bowler short and that could prove to be a major factor, given that England didn't really have a great time with the ball in the previous match too.
On paper, England have a decent unit but adapting well to the conditions and executing perfectly will be a key in this upcoming contest. They have a bowling attack that thrives on movement in the air and this pink-ball match will present them with the best opportunity. They'd need to use the conditions to their advantage right from the outset and if their senior statesmen get going, they would certainly prove to be a lot more difficult side to get past than they have been in the series so far.

The surface is expected to be very tricky to make a decision at the toss. Whatever the decision happens to be, it will certainly be a brave decision. Batting first would hand the initial advantage to the bowlers whereas batting second would rob the side off the advantage of batting when the surface would be at its best. We expect both captains to be a bit hesitant in batting fourth on this surface. Having said that, there is a certain advantage of having the runs on the board first up here. Considering that and the other factors stated above, the captain winning the toss is expected to bat first.

The surface looked pretty green before the match day and if it continues to stay like that, the bowlers might be in for a feast. There is rain forecasted to interrupt in the first couple of days and the overcast overhead conditions will be another factor that would weigh in the favor of the bowlers. Having said that, it might well be all about negotiating the first session - as it generally is the case here at Hobart. We expect the surface to be at its best in the first couple of days and runs on the board could prove to be of vital importance. Given how things have panned out in the series and in the recent matches at Bellerive Oval, the team batting first would want to put a total of at least 400 runs on the board.

If there was one more thing that the fans wanted from this series prior to the last match, it would have been England putting up some fight. England fought their skins out and will be proud of the way they did in the fourth match, even though they were completely outplayed by the hosts. They will be a lot more confident side than they have been in the series so far and cannot be taken lightly. Australia, on the other hand, have looked a more complete side with batting and bowling both contributing well. Apart from having and utilized the home conditions to their advantage, Australia have been an overall better side. They have a record to maintain as far as the day-night Tests go and will be raring to get another win. Comparing the two sides on all aspects and the other factors stated above, Australia are better placed to register a win. Placing your money on an Aussie win should be the way to go here in the fifth and the final match of the Ashes 2021.
Even though Marnus Labuschagne has looked shaky at times against quality pace, he has still been Australia's best answer to England's bowling. He has had his share of luck, but he has also been pretty decisive with his footwork and shot selection. He comes out to bat at number three, which might well be the time when the surface is at its best. Primarily for the form he has been in, a bet on Marnus Labuschagne to be the top scorer for the Aussies in this match is the way to go.
Usman Khawaja looked in an immaculate form in the last match and will be a difficult man to dismiss here as well. He is coming off twin centuries and will be brimming with confidence. Being a seasoned top-order batsman, he should not be troubled much by the new ball. Bet on him to score a century in this match.
Despite missing a match, Ollie Robinson continues to be England's best bowler of the series. He is tall and is able to extract extra bounce from the surface. Also, he gets good movement in the air and off the surface. Expect him to be the best bowler of the match for the visitors.
