Pitch Report
Rain is unlikely to play spoilsport during the fifth India vs Australia Test. Even though the conditions are likely to be overcast in the first half of the opening day of the Test, rain is unlikely to interrupt the proceedings.
For the next three days, the weather forecast has predicted a bright and sunny day in Sydney. However, light rain could make its presence felt on the fifth day of the Test. The temperature is likely to hover in the 20s during the Test.
As far as the pitch is concerned, the surface will assist both the batters and bowlers. Spinners are also likely to get good help from the surface, especially on the last two days of the Test.
