The much-awaited 5th T20I between India and Australia is set to be played at The Gabba, Brisbane, on Saturday, November 8, with the series perfectly poised for a thrilling finish. However, fans are keeping a close eye on the Brisbane weather, as forecasts suggest possible rain and thunderstorms later in the evening — a typical pattern for this time of year in Queensland.
According to the latest weather updates, conditions are expected to remain clear during the afternoon, but scattered thunderstorms could develop towards the evening, potentially disrupting play. The match is scheduled to begin at 6:15 PM local time (1:45 PM IST), and organizers remain optimistic that even if showers occur, they will be brief.
The pitch at The Gabba is known for its bounce and carry, offering exciting prospects for both fast bowlers and stroke-makers. If rain stays away, fans can expect a high-scoring contest as both teams look to end the series on a winning note.
While there is a chance of passing showers, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology has indicated that conditions should improve later in the night, raising hopes for an uninterrupted game.
Cricket Australia has confirmed that ground staff are well-prepared with advanced drainage systems in place, ensuring minimal delays even if rain does make an appearance.
