Preview: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 caravan now travels to Brisbane’s Gabba, the site of India’s probably greatest Test victory, with the series evenly balanced at 1-1.
Both sides were cheaply bowled out in the first innings of the inaugural Test match in Perth, but the Indians batted long enough in the third innings to win by 295 runs.
In the Adelaide Day-Night Test, the home team ultimately settled scores. Australia needed just 19 runs to win the fourth innings after India’s batting breakdowns, which were preceded by a blitzkrieg century from Travis Head. In the end, the series was level.
India still has some questions following a poor batting performance in Adelaide, where they failed to reach 200 in either innings, even though the Australians have already announced their playing XI for this Test.

Date & Time: Saturday, December 14, 05:50 AM
Pitch Report: The Gabba is a well-known and historic cricket stadium in Australia that has hosted many memorable matches throughout the years. Famous for its good batting surface, it frequently assists spinners with bounce early on and turn as the game goes. Movement in the air is more likely than seam movement away from the pitch.
