Informe meteorológico de la cuarta prueba de IND vs AUS: Predicción de lluvia para la prueba del Boxing Day

The fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the series currently level at 1-1. The third Test at Gabba was marred by heavy rain, leading to a drawn result. Unfortunately, the weather forecast for the first day of the fourth Test isn’t promising either. Fans may face another setback, as rain could potentially disrupt the start of the Boxing Day Test.

The rain disruption on Day 1 could benefit India, as Australia chose to bat first after winning the toss. The pacers might get some help from the pitch after it remains covered for a while. However, we’ll have to wait and see what the weather report says.

India’s Record in Boxing Day Tests

Australia dominated the fixture by securing five consecutive wins in subsequent encounters. However, the 2014 Boxing Day Test resulted in a draw, and in 2018, under the leadership of Virat Kohli, India achieved their maiden Boxing Day Test victory. They followed it up with another triumph in 2020, marking consecutive wins in this prestigious tradition.
