The four-match series is currently at the 1-1 level. India had won the first match at Adelaide, while the second Test held at the new Perth stadium was won by Australia.

While India is looking forward to clinching their first ever Test series win in Australia, the hosts are looking for a damage control win since the ball tampering scandal created havoc in March 2018.
