Since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is now tied at 1-1, a result not many expected given how the first two games came—with India dominating the first and Australia taking the second—it was predicted that one team would take the lead at the Gabba. However, the third Test ended dramatically in a draw, leaving the series wide open.
Now, all eyes are on the fourth and crucial Test in Melbourne, where an answer is expected. With only one Test remaining after this, whichever team takes the lead here will almost certainly avoid losing the series. But what’s the current weather update at the MCG? Will rain disrupt play like it did at the Gabba? Let’s take a look at the Melbourne Cricket Ground weather update and see what to expect this time.
