AI overview

Australia start as the marginal favourite in the 3rd Test at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, but 27% of our model's weight sits on a draw, so the first two sessions matter most.

Lean: AustraliaSurface: Flat / battingToss: bat firstHome side: India

The Australia tour of India, 2027 reaches match 3 of 5 when India face Australia in a Test at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. It is listed for Thursday 11 February 2027, with the start at 19:30 IST. India have home conditions on their side, which our model counts as a small edge.

Both sides lean on their batting depth, so the contest is likely to be decided by whoever handles the big overs better. Barsapara Cricket Stadium is a quick outfield and a true surface, with dew a factor in the evening, so we expect a flat / batting surface with a first-day score around 301–366 for Australia and 307–374 for India.

Dry weather and a hard surface, with dew likely to help the side chasing under lights. Because a draw is a live result here (27%), watch how much time is lost before you read anything into a single session.

Win probability

Who will win today's match?

India 33%, draw 27%, Australia 40%. A draw carries real weight in a Test, so read the split as three outcomes rather than two.

The split comes from batting, pace and spin ratings for both teams, adjusted for Barsapara Cricket Stadium and India's home conditions. It is an indicative model, not a live market price and not betting advice.

On a true surface, India's batting depth gets the extra weight in the model.

Rain and bad light matter more in a longer match, so the draw figure moves first when the forecast changes.
