Brisbane Test (Source-X)
Cricket fans across the world are waiting for the start of the third Test between Australia and India starting on Saturday. The Gabba has always been known as a venue where the home team tends to dominate. In the last few years, India and the West Indies have beaten Australia at this venue.
Ahead of the game starting on Saturday, all the focus will be on the weather. Queensland has been known to be fickle as far as the weather is concerned. Sadly, the news on the weather front isn’t promising for the fans. Rain is expected to have its say on each of the five days of the game.

India has to win the game and take a 2-1 lead in the series to keep their hopes of reaching the finals of the WTC. The loss in Adelaide meant that the visiting side has to win the last three games of the series. On a positive note, India will take confidence from their last game, which they won at this venue three years ago.
Brisbane Test facing rain threat?
According to the local weather update, the first day of the game on Saturday could see massive interruptions. There is a huge spell of rain that is likely to curtail the first session of play just before lunch. Even the post-lunch session could be hampered with the weather looking glum with an 88% chance of rain on Saturday.
Sunday could be a better day as far as the weather is concerned, with just 46% of rain predicted. It will be overcast, and if the play does get underway, then the seam bowlers will have a huge say. There is a good chance that fans can expect an entire day to be played on what will be Day 2 of the game.
Monday and Tuesday will witness the 3rd and 4th days of the game between Australia and India. There are 68% chances of rain on both days, with the game likely to see both interruptions on both days. The final day on Wednesday is expected to witness yet another rain interruption in store. There is a 55% chance of downpour in Queensland, and this could be a huge worry for cricket fans worldwide.
