IND vs AUS Weather Forecast: Will the Melbourne Test be affected by rain like the Gabba? The weather was scary before the match!
The third Test between India and Australia was played at the Gaba ground. This match was badly affected by rain. The match had to be stopped several times. The repeated rain interruptions had troubled the players. At the same time, only 216 overs could be bowled in the entire match and the result ended in a draw. Now a similar fear is haunting the fourth Test to be held in Brisbane from December 26. Let us know what the weather department has predicted for the MCG regarding this.
What will the weather be like in the Melbourne Test?
Team India and Australia have practiced hard for the Melbourne Test. Both teams are ready for an exciting match. But before that, there is a possibility of rain. According to the Australian Meteorological Department, the sun will shine in the morning on the first day of the game. But as the game progresses, the sky will become cloudy. There is a 50 percent chance of rain, while strong winds will blow during this time, whose speed can be up to 35 to 50 kilometers per hour.
That means it may rain in the second and third sessions. However, there is only a 20 percent chance of rain on the second day. There is also a 50 percent chance of rain on the third day. But the weather may remain clear on the fourth and fifth days. There is only a 10 and 5 percent chance of rain on these two days. In simple words, there may be light rain only on the first and third days. This means that the weather will not have much of a negative impact on the match.
Rohit Sharma's new plan
Meanwhile, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has come up with a new plan for the fourth Test. According to the Times of India report, he can once again come for his original batting position i.e. opening. KL Rahul can be sent at number 3. Apart from this, Team India can take the field with two spinners. In this match, Washington Sundar can be given a chance by leaving out Nitish Reddy. On the other hand, Australia has announced its playing XI. Pat Cummins has made two changes. He has included Sam Constus in the team in place of Nathan McSweeney and Scott Boland in place of Josh Hazlewood.
