NEW DELHI: The Gabba Test is poised for a draw as weather conditions predict a 90% chance of rain on Day 5, potentially washing out play. Both India and Australia have fought hard in this gripping contest, but the looming rain threatens to deny cricket fans a conclusive result.
As players prepare for the final day in Brisbane, the heavy rain forecast overshadows any hopes of a dramatic finish. While the game hangs in the balance, it seems the weather will be the ultimate decider.

With only 192 overs completed over four days of play, Wednesday’s forecast suggests additional disruptions are expected.
According to a Accuweather.com report, the forecast for the Gabba suggests difficult morning conditions with overcast skies and elevated humidity levels. The afternoon will likely bring thunderstorms, with rainfall probability at 90%, despite moderate temperatures.
The temperature will register approximately 31°C, though the humidity will create a perceived temperature of 38°C. Weather services anticipate 15.8 mm of precipitation, prompting authorities to issue a minor flood alert. The sky will remain heavily overcast with cloud cover reaching 96%.
Team India displayed resilience on Day 4 of the third Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Facing the possibility of a follow-on and an innings defeat, the team showed great determination.

KL Rahul‘s composed innings of 84 (139 balls, eight fours) and Ravindra Jadeja‘s vital 77 (123 balls, seven fours and a six), supported by valuable knocks from Akash Deep (27* off 31 balls, two fours and a six) and Jasprit Bumrah (10* off 27 balls, with a six), enabled India to avoid the follow-on, finishing the day’s play at 252/9.
