AUS vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis India are on a tour to Australia to play five test matches. The grueling test series is coming to an end with the fifth test being played at SCG. The current scoreline reads 2-1 in favor of Australia after a superb win at the MCG in boxing test. Australia will take on India in the 5th Test at Sydney Cricket Ground on 3rd January 2024 at 5:00 am IST. After being 1-0 up in the series after the first Test at Perth, India managed to lose two of the next three Tests against Australia. They are currently 1-2 behind in the series. This Test will decide whether India manages to level the series and keep the hopes of the WTC Final alive. Australia, on the other hand, are looking confident and they would like to seal the WTC Final spot in this Test itself. A mega contest coming up in the new year at the SCG. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview You can never write off the Australians, can you? After the big defeat in Perth at the start of the series, Austria looked down and out. Their batting unit has been struggling in 2024 to score any runs, and that cost them the Test in Perth. However, they turned around the series in the next three Tests to be 2-1 up in the series before the series decided 5th Test at the SCG. In the second Test at Adelaide, Australia won the day-night Test by 10 wickets after restricting India to under 200 runs in both innings. Travis had found form with a scintillating 140-run innings and was as adjudged the player of the match. Mitchell Starc took 6 wickets for 40 runs in the first inning in this Test. The third Test at Brisbane could have gone either way, if not for the rain. The match ended in a draw immediately after India started a chase of 275 in the 4th innings. Smith and Head were among the runs with a century each in the first innings at Adelaide. India Preview What a great chance India had to dominate the Australians for the third successive time after winning the first Test at Perth. India came into this series after a 0-3 loss against New Zealand in the home conditions. They needed to win the series against Australia to cement a place in the WTC final. At the moment, with 2-1 down already, all India can do is hope for a win at Sydney and expect Sri Lanka to defeat Australia later at their home. Jasprit Brumrah has been exceptional not just in this series but throughout the year 2024. He has 30 wickets in the first 4 Tests of this series at a ridiculous average of just 12.83. No one in cricket history has more wickets than Jaswit Dumra in a calendar year at a better average. He has become the only player in the Test history to cross 200 wickets under the average of 20. Now that is something absolutely phenomenal. India must be wondering how could they lose 2 Tests when they have someone like Jasprit Brumrah bowling for them. It’s India’s batting that is to be blamed here, especially Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli who have done very poorly in this series and in year 2024. Kohli did get a century in Perth but his other innings have been without success. Rohit Sharma on the other hand is searching for runs and looks very close to his retirement as per some experts and critics. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Sydney Cricket Ground is expected to be cloudy with a slight chance of showers and a possibility of thunderstorms. There could be a delay in the start of the game due to these conditions and there could be interruptions later in the day. The temperature of the day would range between 25°C and 19°C. AUS vs IND Pitch Report The venue of the match is Sydney Cricket Ground. It is one of the most historic and iconic sports venues in Australia. It is located in Moore Park, suburb of Sydney, New South Wales. Established back in the 19th century, the venue has hosted numerous Tests, ODIs and T20 internationals. It is the primary venue for Sydney Sixers home games in BBL. With a seating capacity of 48,000 spectators, it is also one of the largest cricket stadiums in Australia. Toss: To Bat A total of 89 Tests have ended in an outright result at Sydney. The teams batting first have won 47 matches while the teams batting second have won 42. The conditions seem relatively even at the SCG. The team winning the toss should bat first here.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Australia vs India 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 26 ,Thursday​​ 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 :​ 05:00 AM IST​​​​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Melbourne Cricket Ground, Richmond, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 4th Test 2024 Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Stars TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. AUS vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series locked at 1-1, cricket fans worldwide eagerly await the highly anticipated fourth Test between India and Australia, set to begin on December 26, 2024—a showdown coinciding with the legendary Boxing Day Test. The Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne, will host the test between December and 30th December. In the last test, India survived the Australian pace attack with the help of the rain. Steven Smith and Travis Head’s centuries guided Australia to 445 in the first innings. India Managed to avoid the follow-on due to the 47-run partnership between Bumrah and Aksh Deep for the last wicket. India then bowled with great determination to force Australia to declare on 89 for losing seven wickets. The rain interrupted the game for the nth time before they decided to call it an end. Bumrah took 9 wickets in the test with six of them taken in the first innings. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Australia have bolstered their top order by adding Sam Konstas. The hosts face a significant concern as none of their three top-order batters have scored over a hundred runs in the series so far. Marnus Labuschagne, with a series-high of just 82 runs, underscores the struggles at the top. Usman Khwaja will open the innings with Konstas. Khwaja has played 6 tests at MCG scoring 422 runs at an average of 57. But Labuschagne has some bad memories at this ground averaging just 30. Steve Smith and Travis Head will come in the middle for Australia. Both scored centuries in the last game. Smith is familiar with MCG ground. In 18 innings, he has scored 1093 runs at an average of 78.07. This includes four centuries and five half-centuries. Travis Head is currently the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 409 runs at an average of 81.80. He will be the batter to watch out for. India Preview With the ICC Test Championship Final spot under threat, India will take the field with enormous pressure. Yashaswi Jaiswal will open the innings with KL Rahul. KL Rahul has been a standout performer for India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, showcasing remarkable consistency at the top of the order. The leading run-scorer for India has 235 runs at an average of 47. Jaiswal, his partner, is the third leading run-scorer of the tournament with 193 runs. but he lacks consistency. Shubhman Gill will come at number three. The prince’s form has been poor this year. In two tests, he has scored 60 runs. Virat Kohli will come in the middle with Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja. Kohli scored a ton in the first Test. Besides that, he has just 23 runs in the remaining four innings. His inability to play the offside balls has been the talk of the cricket world in the last week. Sharma has been out of form since the start of 2023. Since Jan 2023, Sharma has scored 1152 runs in 37 tests at an average of 32. But the shocking part comes when he faces the good-length balls. He averages 12 while facing good length balls for the last two years. Ravindra Jadeja scored 77 runs in the only innings he played so far. His average in Australia is now better than Virat Kohli’s. Weather Conditions The weather at  MCG is expected to be cloudy on match day, with temperatures ranging between 17 and 29 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 6-11 km/h. It gives a good balance for both bowlers and batsmen. Bowlers can benefit from the pitch in the early stages, which offers a nice bounce. As the game goes on and the pitch gets older, batsmen can play their shots comfortably. AUS vs IND Pitch Report The game will be played at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne on 26th December onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 100000 spectators. The stadium has hosted 117 Tests, 161 ODIs and 27 T20s. Cricket’s first ODI match was also held at the MCG. Toss: To Bat In 117 Tests played here, the results have favored teams defending the target on 57 occasions while 42 have been won by the teams chasing it. The average first-innings score is 307 with the highest total of 624. The team winning the toss should bat first.

Australia vs India, IND vs AUS 2024, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Australia vs India 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : November 22,​ Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 07:50 AM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Perth Stadium, Burswood, Australia 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​​ 1st Test 2024 ​ Australia have never lost a Test match at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Australia vs India TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. AUS vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis After a crushing 3-0 defeat to New Zealand at home, India now face the daunting challenge of a five-match Test series in Australia. With their spot in the WTC final in jeopardy following the loss, the pressure will be on India for a turnaround. On the other hand, Australia will be eager to reclaim pride after losing the last two home Test series to India. The action begins in Perth, known for its fast and bouncy surface. Considering India’s current form and Australia’s stronghold at home, the hosts are tipped to have the upper hand in the series opener. TEAMS PREVIEW Australia Preview Australia are a formidable force on home soil, and their squad is well-equipped to challenge India in these conditions.  Debutant Nathan McSweeney, who boasts a strong first-class average of 42.25 over the past two years, is set to open the innings alongside the experienced Usman Khawaja. In the middle order, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith may have been short on consistency recently, but their reputation as world-class batters, particularly against India, makes them key players in the series. Labuschagne, particularly, loves batting on this ground and averages over a 100 here per match.  India Preview India head into the first Test against Australia with injury setbacks and a reshuffled lineup. Regular captain Rohit Sharma’s absence sees Jasprit Bumrah stepping in as skipper.  KL Rahul is expected to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal in Rohit’s absence. With Shubman Gill out injured from the first Test due to a thumb injury,  Devdutt Padikkal is likely to be the No. 3. With Jaiswal and Padikkal having never played a Test in Australia, the onus will be on the senior pros, Rahul and Virat Kohli, to do the bulk of the scoring. But both of them are out of form. In fact, Kohli averages only 23 in 6 Tests in 2024. Weather Conditions The pitch at Perth Stadium is likely to have a thick grass coverage that will benefit fast bowlers in the first Test.  It should provide good pace and extra bounce to trouble batsmen from both sides. Bowlers will also see good seam movement, particularly when the new ball is in play. As the Kookaburra ball wears down, scoring runs may become a bit easier for the batters. Nonetheless, seam bowlers will remain impactful throughout the five days, while spinners like Nathan Lyon, known for their overspin, will find success at this ground. The weather in Perth will be sunny and pleasant throughout the five days of the Test. It will be breezy in the afternoon, which should help the seamers. AUS vs IND Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Optus Stadium in Perth is 457 across four Tests. The highest total posted at the venue is Australia’s 598-4 dec versus West Indies in 2022. They won that match by 164 runs. We are expecting a spicy wicket this time, so a score of around 300-350 runs by the team batting first will keep them in a strong position in the match. Toss: To Bat All four Tests played at the Optus Stadium in Perth have been won by the team that batted first. Thus, it’s almost certain that both captains will look to bat first here.
