The fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is set to begin in Sydney on January 3 - here’s the weather report for the AUS v IND clash.
Australia have taken a 2-1 lead in the series following their massive win over India at the MCG. The visitors had won the Perth Test but defeats at Adelaide and Melbourne, along with a draw at the Gabba, have ensured they will fail to win a series against Australia for the first time in five attempts.
India have been bogged down by the form of their talisman batters, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the latter averaging just over six on the tour. Despite some sensational bowling from Jasprit Bumrah, who had led in the Perth Test, India have failed to rally around him.
Australia, on the other hand, have injury concerns of their own. Josh Hazlewood has already been ruled out of the series, while recent reports suggest Mitchell Starc has been sent for scans two days out from the Test match.
