IND vs AUS: After winning the Melbourne Test, the Australian team has now started preparing for the Sydney Test. The last Test match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is going to be very important from the point of view of the final of the World Test Championship i.e. WTC. In such a situation, the Australian team would like to give its full strength against India in this match. If Australia wins or draws the Sydney Test, it will win the Border Gavaskar Trophy for the first time since 2014-15. If Team India wins the match, it will retain the trophy and will get even closer to the final of the World Test Championship.
Meanwhile, before the Sydney Test, big news has come out from the Australian camp. Actually, a big update has come out on the fitness of Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc. Starc’s fitness remains a cause of concern for Australia, who has been suffering from rib swelling since the third day of the Boxing Day Test, but he bowled effectively and took the wicket of Virat Kohli.
Playing-11 will be decided after looking at the pitch
Australia head coach Andrew McDonald told the media after winning the MCG Test that even pain could not stop Starc. He had trouble in the initial spell but after that he bowled freely. Let’s see how he recovers. We will decide the team composition after seeing the pitch of Sydney Cricket Ground. If Starc is unable to play the Sydney Test, then Jhye Richardson or Sean Abbott can fill the gap. McDonald said he was confident Starc would be able to play. By the way, Richardson and Sean Abbott are also here. The team management will decide after looking at the pitch of the Sydney Test.
Australia has a chance to win BGT
It is noteworthy that the Border-Gavaskar Trophy being played between India and Australia has now reached its final stage. After 4 matches, Australia is leading 2-1 in the 5-match Test series. The first Test was played in Perth which India won. The second test match was in the name of Australia. The third Test played at Gabba was a draw but Australia was successful in winning in Melbourne.
