Read the full Reddy Anna match prediction<\/strong>\u00a0below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For Australia, the series has showcased their grit and determination. They bounced back brilliantly after their initial loss. Marnus Labuschagne<\/strong> and Steve Smith<\/strong> have regained their form, while Usman Khawaja<\/strong>\u2019s inconsistency remains a concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debutant Sam Konstas<\/strong> shined in Melbourne, while Beau Webster<\/strong> is set to debut, replacing Mitchell Marsh. His all-round abilities add depth to Australia\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia\u2019s bowling attack, led by Pat Cummins<\/strong>, Scott Boland<\/strong>, and Nathan Lyon<\/strong>, has been relentless. With Mitchell Starc<\/strong> declared fit despite a rib niggle, their bowling unit looks set to dominate again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

India started the series strong with a commanding win in Perth, but their performances dipped with losses in Adelaide and Melbourne, and only a draw in Brisbane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rohit Sharma<\/strong> and Virat Kohli<\/strong> have struggled to find form, and while Rishabh Pant<\/strong> has shown glimpses of brilliance, consistency has eluded him. Adding to their troubles, reports of internal rifts have emerged, further pressuring the visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the bowling front, Akash Deep<\/strong>\u2019s absence is a setback, but Harshit Rana<\/strong> is expected to join Jasprit Bumrah<\/strong> and Mohammed Siraj<\/strong> to form a formidable pace trio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Will The SCG Pitch Behave?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The SCG pitch promises a thrilling contest. The initial green tinge and moisture will benefit pacers, while batters can capitalize once the surface flattens out. With an average first-innings score of 318, teams batting first have historically had the upper hand, winning 47 out of 114 Tests here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rain is expected on the final two days, which could heavily influence the outcome. The toss will be crucial, with teams likely opting to bat first and post a substantial total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
