India and Australia are all set for an exciting 4th Test match at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) starting from December 26th to December 30th. Coming into the last Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Australia and India are level at 1-1 and desire an edge.

Australians will want to continue his winning spree but the Indians will aim at getting back to the winning track. As the series is currently tied at 1-1, this particular Test match is set to be highly riveting due to the performances of two of the best cricket-playing countries.

Who Will the Match?
India may be somewhat favored going into the 4th Test at the MCG because the team has played some good cricket here and has not been beaten. The possessiveness of their bowlers, especially Jasprit Bumrah, will also be of great influence too. However, a powerful batting line-up awaits in Australia and with Travis Head and Steve Smith, in particular, back in form, this outfit could pose a stiff challenge. The match will also be influenced by the preference of the home side.
Lastly, Super Sunday could well rest on the performance of talented men and the soil on tap. It is usually a batting-friendly wicket and since its new preparation, it will help the bowlers if they get it right with their line lengths. This match is set up to be very competitive considering what is currently on the line for both sides.
