India vs Australia: Mitchell Marsh Optimistic About Australia’s Gabba Victory Despite Rain Concerns
Mitchell Marsh remains confident that Australia can secure a win against India at the Gabba despite the rain interruptions. The third day's play was largely washed out, but Marsh believes two more days will be sufficient to push for a result. India, trailing by 394 runs, faces the challenge of avoiding the follow-on, with Rohit Sharma yet to score and India at 51-4.
Gabba, Brisbane has been the ground for India and Australia where the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is underway. Rain disrupted the match, with only 13.2 overs bowled on Day 1 and most of Day 3 washed out. Despite the interruptions, Mitchell Marsh remains confident that Australia can still secure a victory, citing the two remaining days as sufficient for a result.
By the end of Day 3, India was struggling at 51/4, trailing by 394 runs. Australia’s first-innings score of 445 is a significant challenge for India, who need 194 more runs to avoid the follow-on. On this, Marsh said:
We’re always asking for the radar and what’s happening. Two days to go, I think there’s still plenty of time for a result.
Australia is pushing for a win with a follow-on in sight 👀 #AUSvIND
