Perth weather forecast for India vs Australia 1st Test: Will rain play spoilsport in Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener?

Live Mint  

The build up to the first Test between India and Australia at the Optus Stadium in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth, has been impacted by unusual rains and is expected to play a part in the opening day on Friday. With the playing strip not getting much sunlight as it should have gotten, toss will play a crucial role in shaping up the dynamics of the first Test. WACA head curator Isaac McDonald on Wednesday said the strip is likely to retain moisture come match day, because of rains in the buildup to the game, thus effectively ruling out the possibility of major deterioration over the course of five days. While India are likely to go with the trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep as the spciallist fast bowlers, uncapped seaming all-rounder Nitish Reddy might add to India's fourth fast bowling option.
