Australia:
Australia currently leads the series 2-1 and is in a commanding position to join South Africa in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final. However, if India manages to win and draw the series, they will retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and keep their WTC hopes alive, depending on favorable results in the Australia-Sri Lanka series.
As the cricketing world turns its eyes to Sydney, the unpredictable weather patterns add another layer of suspense to an already high-stakes Test match. Both teams will aim to make every moment count in what promises to be an epic finale.
