Team India currently has only two targets in Australia. Firstly, winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and secondly, making it to the WTC final. In this series of 5 matches, both the teams are tied at 1-1. To make it to the finals, it is necessary for Team India to win the series. In such a situation, the Brisbane match is important. But the threat of rain is looming over it. If this match is cancelled, India's dreams may come to naught.

Rain forecast for all five days

After Perth and Adelaide, now the Indian team faces the challenge of Gabba. But the Meteorological Department has predicted rain for all five days of this match starting from Saturday, December 14, i.e.

till December 18. Rainfall is expected to be 80% on the first day of Brisbane Test i.e. Saturday, 50% on the second day, 70-70% on the third, fourth and fifth day. It may rain especially in the morning and afternoon.

Also, the sky may remain densely cloudy with lightning and storm during these five days. However, this is just a guess. It remains to be seen how much effect this has on the match. A similar prediction was made in the Adelaide Test also but there was no rain. But if the match gets canceled due to rain and ends in a draw, India's path to the WTC final could be adversely affected.

If the match is cancelled, it will affect India.

Team India is currently at third place in the points table of WTC with 57.29 percentage points. If it wants to enter the finals directly, it will have to win the series by at least 3-2 or 2-1. As soon as this match is cancelled, Team India will lose the opportunity to earn 12 points. He will get only 4 points. It will be necessary for the team to win the next two matches at any cost. It will be a difficult task to achieve this in Australian conditions.

Apart from this, the Indian team does not have any other series before the WTC final. On the other hand, apart from this series, Australia will have a chance to make a comeback in 2 matches in Sri Lanka. South Africa is at the forefront in this matter. Now to go to the final it needs only one win against Pakistan.

Let us tell you that South Africa is at second place with 63.33 percentage points and Australia is at second place with 60.71 percentage points. However, if we look at Australia's record at Gabba, rain can prove beneficial for the Indian team.

The team will avoid one defeat and will have to win both the remaining matches.

If India wins then the equation of WTC will be like this

If there is no significant impact of rain in Brisbane and the results of the match are known then the equation of WTC will change completely. If Team India wins for the second consecutive time in Gaba like in 2021, then it will move to second place with 59.80 percentage points. Australia will move to third position with 56.67 percentage points. If Australia wins then there will be no change in the current position. However, Pat Cummins' team will improve and reach 58.89 points.

Sathi will become a strong contender for the final.
