Changes in the Gabba Test Match Schedule
Due to the disruption caused by rain on the first day of the third Test match between India and Australia at the Gabba Stadium in Brisbane, the umpires have announced changes in the starting time of the last four days of the match. The match will now start half an hour before the scheduled time, with the game commencing at 5:20 am Indian time instead of 5:50 am.
Impact on the Number of Overs
