Sydney weather today now: What is the weather prediction for 3rd Australia vs India SCG Test?

Sydney weather today now: The SportsRush presents for you the detailed weather prediction for the third AUS vs IND Test.

The third Test match of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia will begin from tomorrow at the Sydney Cricket Ground. With the series level at 1-1, both teams would be keen to gain an unassailable lead in the four-match series.

Despite not revealing their Playing XI for the New Year’s Test, the hosts have confirmed that opening batsman David Warner will return to Test cricket after a year. India, on the other hand, have made a couple of changes to their XI even after coming on the back of a clinical victory in Melbourne.

While Warner will obviously allure plentiful eyeballs, a lot of attention will also be on Australia batsman Steve Smith for the premium player is yet to fire in the Test series. As far as the visitors are concerned, the inclusion of several rookie names will grab maximum attention.

Out of the 12 Tests that both Australia and India have played in Sydney, Australia have won on five occasions as compared to India’s solitary victory in 1978. With their last two Tests ending in a draw at this venue, a result would be the best outcome especially regarding the context of this series.

In the build-up to the third Test in Sydney, there had been a lot of speculation with respect to rain playing spoilsport. According to the weather forecast at this point in time, the same doesn’t appear to be much of a problem barring a potentially brief spell of showers on Day 1.

It is worth mentioning that tomorrow’s first session is highly likely to be played under a cloud cover. In addition to the cloud cover, there’s a 51% likeliness of rain halting play around 01:00 PM (AEST) which will roughly be the beginning of the second session.

According to the weather forecast on AccuWeather, clouds will dominate the proceedings in the third session but chances of rain will be minimal.
