Australia Vs India 2nd Test Prediction 26/12/20

Calling this Test match is very difficult. Based on the result of the 1st Test, it should be easy, but there are factors to take into consideration.

Up until that fateful first session of Day 3, India were in the driving seat. No one foreseen what was to come.

The Indians also know that the Aussie batting is frail at the top, so they will still sniff a chance in this series.

The recalls of Pant and Jadeja are attacking selections from the Indians. But will that be enough to make up for the loss of Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami.

Australia at 3/10 looks a bit short, but how can you back against them?

They’ve got the Indians where they want them, and there is no better side in the world than Australia at bullying a team already down on their luck.
