AUS vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis – Reddy Anna Match Prediction
With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series tied 1-1, cricket fans eagerly await the iconic Boxing Day Test. The fourth Test between India and Australia, starting on December 26, 2024, at the MCG, promises to be a thrilling encounter.
In the last Test, India survived a fierce Australian pace attack, aided by rain interruptions. Steven Smith and Travis Head’s centuries propelled Australia to a first-innings total of 445. India managed to avoid the follow-on with a crucial last-wicket partnership between Bumrah and Akash Deep. Bumrah’s sensational nine-wicket haul in the match ensured India remained competitive.
Key Developments:
- With Ravichandran Ashwin’s sudden retirement, India has called up Tanush Kotian, a promising off-spinning all-rounder with an impressive first-class record.
- Australia has included Sam Konstas, a 19-year-old batting prodigy, who has shown his potential with a century against India in a recent practice match.
Both teams are under pressure to secure a spot in the ICC Test Championship Final.
