India is in Australia for five Test cricket series. The brutal test series is now drawing to a close with the 5th test to be played at SCG. The current scoreline stands 2-0 Rams in favour of Australia after a magnificent display in the boxing test at MCG. Australia will take on India in the 5th Test at Sydney Cricket Ground on 3rd January 2024 at 5:00 am IST.
Having been leading 1-0 in the series after winning the first Test in Perth, India was eventually able to lose two of the next three Test matches to Australia. As things are right today, they are in series 1-2.
This test will determine if India is able to even the series and continue the fight for the WTC Final. Australia on the other side looks menacing and they would love to confirm their place in the WTC Final in this Test match itself. Another Mega contest in the new year is likely to be held at the SG.

Who Will the Match?
Australia has been beaten in the first Test in Perth and continues to lead the five Test match series, 2-1. India has been pathetic with the bat in the last three Test innings out of the four. India seems to lack teeth in the batting line-up apart from Yashasvi Jaiswal and the two mentioned, KL Rahul and S Gill. The current form of Rohit Sharma, especially Virat Kohli in particular and their nuclear failure are worrisome.
On the other hand, Australians are bowling superbly, and the team’s batsmen, especially Smith and Head, have found some form. In regard to the addition of the team, the Australian team is expected to prevail in this specific match.
