The inclement Brisbane weather is very likely to have the final say in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (GBT) at the Gabba. After an interrupted day three following just 13.2 overs on day one, even more rain is forecast on the final two days.

In good news for India who are 51/4 in response to Australia’s 445, the forecast for Tuesday (day four) has got worse.

Gabba weather forecast: How much more of the 3rd BGT Test will be affected?

According to Bureau of Meterology (bom.gov.au), there is a 90% chance of rain on day four (Tuesday) with up to 30mm forecast to fall. “Cloudy. Very high chance of showers, most likely in the morning and afternoon. The chance of a thunderstorm, possibly severe. Winds southeasterly 15 to 20 km/h becoming light before dawn,” the bom.gov.au Brisbane forecast reads.

Day five looks just as bleak. There is a 90% chance of rain once again with up to 25mm expected. Given how the rain can linger around South-East Queensland at this time of year, it is very unlikely there will be enough overs to yield a result even with India’s batting struggles.

Reliable app AccuWeather forecasts a 100% chance of rain on day four followed by 90% on day five. At least 10.1mm is expected to fall on Tuesday, followed by a huge 23.2mm during the day on Wednesday.

A draw is a good result for India given their standing in this Gabba Test and the fact they hold the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia must then avoid defeat at both the MCG and SCG (while winning at least one) to regain the trophy.
