‘Australia will win in Perth’ - Darren Lehmann predicts series result of upcoming BGT 2024-25

Former Australia cricketer Darren Lehmann recently came forward and gave his prediction of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Lehmann opined that Australia will go on to defeat India 3-1 in the marquee series and will kick off the series with a win in Perth. 

It is worth noting that India have won their last two series in Australia by the same margin of 1-2 and have been declared the favourites to win once again. However, Daren Lehmann seems to have a completely different point of view. Furthermore, Lehmann also talked about how Australia need to restrict Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as the two batters will prove to be the toughest challenge against the Aussies. 

"Australia v India prediction, 3-1 Australia will win in Perth to start the summer on the bouncy track then quite even after that with the home team playing conditions better. Need to keep Sharma and Kohli quiet all summer,” Lehmann wrote on his 'X' handle.

Having won the first Test, India is now preparing for the second Test against Bangladesh. Both sides will now meet in Kanpur for the second Test from September 27 and where India will hope to clinch the series, Bangladesh will be shooting to level the series and hoping to put in a good showing against India. It is worth noting that Bangladesh came into the series on the back of defeating Pakistan in their backyard, and they will aim to channel the same showing and hopefully upset team India.
