The first day of the third Brisbane Test between Australia and India was almost entirely washed out, and rain threatens to disrupt the remaining days of the match as well.
Sunday’s weather is forecast to be cloudy and humid, with a chance of thunderstorms and a 100% likelihood of rain. On Monday, there is a 46% chance of rain in the morning. Tuesday sees a 60% likelihood of rain, and Wednesday’s forecast predicts a 70% chance of precipitation.
At the end of Day 1 and Australia were 28 for none, with Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney unbeaten on 19 (47) and 4 (33), respectively.
The opening day of the third Border-Gavaskar Test in Brisbane was heavily affected by rain, with just 13.2 overs possible in the first session. The downpour persisted throughout the day, keeping the players confined indoors.
Australia’s openers batted cautiously to reach 28 without loss. Nathan McSweeney and Usman Khawaja stood firm against probing spells from Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and first-change bowler Akash Deep, ensuring a steady start for the hosts. India captain Rohit Sharma elected to field after winning the toss.
