Sydney Weather Report
The ‘Rain Gods’ in Sydney may be the target of many prayers as India sorely needs to win the last Test. Sydney’s weather is predicted to be difficult, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 34 degrees Celsius, much like the MCG Test match.
Although there won’t be any rain throughout the first three days of the Test match, the temperature will fluctuate. Accuweather predicts that the hottest days of the Test match will be Days 3 and 4, with highs of 34 degrees Celsius.
Rainfall on the last day, however, will have an impact on the game. There is an 80% likelihood that the afternoon scenes will be overtaken by rain, which will also provide some relief from the heat. Sydney residents will be happy about it, but India’s chances of making it to the WTC Final may suffer greatly.
Pitch Report
The batting-friendly pitch at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) is well-known for providing steady bounce and rewarding hitters early in a Test match. The surface deteriorates as the game goes on, allowing spinners with turn and varying bounce to be used. Multiple spinners are frequently used by teams to take advantage of these circumstances later on.
Both bowlers and batsmen must have patience and plan because games at the SCG usually go to the last day. The fifth Test at the SCG is an important match in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India will try to take advantage of the circumstances to tie the series, which Australia leads 2-1. The Test, which kicks off on January 3, promises to be an exciting match on one of cricket’s most famous grounds.
