AUS vs IND 4th Test, Prediction & Betting Tips
India have shown the spine of mettle in this series. Throughout the tour, every-time they had their back against the wall, they somehow find a way to bounce back.
With Australia and India winning 1 Test each and the third Test ending in a draw, we’re now into the final match of the series that’ll decide the winner of the series.
Read our preview as Australia host India in the final Test of the series at the Gabba. The match is scheduled to get underway on 15th January at 10:00 PM local time.
Australia will be disappointed that even after dominating most of the Sydney Test, they failed to pick up a victory. But credit for the draw must also be given to the Indian batsmen for the character they showed in the second inning.
We’re now at Brisbane which a very happy hunting ground for Australia. They have one of the best pace attacks in the world and the pitch at Gabba make them look more lethal.
Australia will be relieved to see Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne back in form. However, the form of other batsmen will again be a cause of concern.
For India, as many as 9 Indian players have been ruled out due to injury on this tour. Ravindra Jadeja, Hanuma Vihari and Jasprit Bumrah are the latest causalities. There are few doubts about the participation of Ravi Ashwin as well.
Mohammed Siraj, who’s just a couple of Tests old, will be leading India’s bowling attack in the final Test that tells that they’re in big problem.
Navdeep Saini was wayward in the second Test and one of T Natarajan or Shardul Thakur will be India’s third pacer. To fair, this bowling attack looks very weak. Ravi Ashwin will also be less effective on the Gabba.
From the batsmen perspective, Shubhman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishabh Pant batted well in the second innings of the Sydney Test. They once again will be responsible for getting India to a big score.
Overall, injuries have dented India’s chances badly and looking at their bowling lineup we think Australia are massive favourites here.

🏆 Australia vs India Prediction
India’s chances have been hugely dented by the injuries. They do have a decent batting line up but their bowling looks too weak to challenge Australia. We’d stick with Australia as the winner of this match.
