AUS vs IND, 4th Test - Dream11 Prediction

The fourth Test of the five-match series between Australia and India is set to be played at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from December 26-30.

The series is currently tied at 1-1, with India securing a commanding 295-run victory in the opening Test in Perth, followed by Australia’s strong comeback with a 10-wicket win in the second Test at Adelaide Oval. The third Test ended in a draw due to persistent rain on the final day.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, 4th Test:

  • Start date and time: December 26; 5:00 am IST/ 10:30 am local/ 11:30 pm GMT  (Dec 25)
  • Venue: Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne

Melbourne Cricket Ground Pitch Report

The pitch at the MCG is expected to offer a fair contest between bat and ball. Bowlers, particularly those with the new ball, may find assistance early on, while the surface is likely to favour batters as the game progresses.
With consistent bounce and pace, the pitch should encourage aggressive stroke play, giving batters opportunities to score freely. However, the larger boundaries at the stadium may influence the scoring rate, requiring batters to combine precision with power. This dynamic could set the stage for a captivating battle as teams strive to balance attack and defense. The conditions promise an exciting match where both bowlers and batters must adapt to the evolving challenges.

AUS vs IND, 4th Test: Match Prediction

Australia enters this match as favourites due to their recent form and home advantage. Their batting lineup, bolstered by players like Steve Smith and Travis Head, has shown resilience and capability to post big totals. In contrast, India’s batting has faced challenges, particularly against pace bowling.

Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri has boldly predicted that India will emerge victorious in this Test, citing their potential to bounce back and capitalize on any weaknesses in the Australian side.
