Big wins by both teams in the first two Tests and patchy performances by key batters have left the third Test of the Australia-India series, starting Saturday in Brisbane, wide open. The series, tied 1-1, promises another fiercely contested encounter at the Gabba.
India dominated the opening Test in Perth with a commanding 295-run victory, only for Australia to respond emphatically in Adelaide, clinching the second Test by 10 wickets in a day-night clash. The contrasting results have left no clear favourite for the Brisbane Test.
