India will lock horns with Australia in Match 5 of the five-match Test series at Perth Hockey Stadium in Perth on Saturday, April 13.

Team India continued their poor show, losing four out of five games so far. They started off on an exciting note in their last outing, taking an early lead. However, they couldn’t make it big as they conceded three goals to the opposition.

On the other hand, Australia would be eyeing to clean-sweep the opposition 5-0. They are exceptional with their attack, converting into penalty corners and eventually improving their goal-scoring abilities. Jeremy Hayward continues to be their player to watch out for.

India vs Australia Prediction

Though Team India started off well with a goal in the initial minutes of the match to take an early lead, their defense looked a bit weak at moments of the match as Australia got ahead of them to dominate the proceedings.

India head coach Craig Fulton stressed on Team India winning more penalty corners to find the main source of goals. It would be interesting to watch how they come out in the last game of the series.

Prediction: Australia is expected to win the game and clean sweep 5-0
