IND vs AUS 4th Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The Border Gavaskar Trophy comes to a close with this Fourth Test between India and Australia in Ahmedabad. Australia won the Third Test by nine wickets in Indore last week but still trail 2-1 in the series. Read on as we preview this final Test of the series which gets underway on Thursday morning. This match begins at the Narendra Modi Stadium at 09:30 local time.
India will have been hurt by their defeat and will be very keen to respond in this game. With the strength in their spin bowling and batting, they should be too strong for Australia.
Australia will approach this game with more confidence after their big win last week. However, they will need to play to an even higher standard if they are to win this Test against a strong India team in home conditions.

Who will win India vs Australia 4th Test Match?
Ultimately, it was the poor batting performance from India in the first innings of the Third Test which cost them the game. India have far more consistent players for these conditions.
🏆 India vs Australia Prediction
Very few pundits foresaw Australia’s win in Indore and it was a brilliant performance from their spinners on Day One which set up the victory. A couple of early wickets for Australia in this game could well see some nerves in the India batting line-up and amongst their supporters. However, we anticipate India to come back in this Test and to play Australia’s spinners, Lyon in particular, with more skill. Our prediction is for India to win.
