The long awaited third test Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 between Australia and India will take place at the iconic Gabba in Brisbane. With the series level at 1-1, both teams have everything to play for as they chase a win to move closer to a spot in World Testing Championship (WTC) final. The match promises to be an exciting contest, with both sides showing immense talent and determination throughout the series.
Both teams are eyeing a crucial win
The Gabba has historically been a fortress for Australia, with the team boasting 42 wins from 66 Tests at the venue. On the other hand, India have managed just one win in seven matches at this ground. While the Aussies will look to capitalize on their home advantage, India will look to defy the odds and put up a spirited fight to secure a rare victory. A win here would not only swing the series in favor of the winners but also boost their momentum going into the final Test.

Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist share their predictions
Former Australian cricketers Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist they shared their predictions about the outcome of the match. The duo threw their weight behind the hosts to come out on top in the crucial Gabba Test. They highlighted Australia’s unmatched record on the field and the challenges the Indian team could face on a surface that offers extra bounce and pace.
Hayden reflected on how the conditions in Brisbane could test India’s batting line-up. He also acknowledged India’s competitive spirit but reiterated his belief in Australia’s ability to make effective use of home conditions.
“I agree with Australia. India, I think, will again struggle with the bounce and pace of this wicket. But I think it will be a close game. I have to beat Australia though,” Hayden said speaking on SEN Breakfast.
Gilchrist echoed Hayden’s confidence in the Australian side and went a step further by giving a concrete prediction for the match. He was counting on it Marnus Labuschagnewho is currently struggling with form, will come back and break the century.
“Yes (I think Australia can go 2-1 up). And I give Marnus a hundred,” Gilchrist said.
