The former right-handed batter believed that the visitors would miss pacer Mohammed Shami in the 5-match series, which slated to begin from November 22.

"I think India will win a Test match somewhere through the five Test matches," Ponting predicted while speaking on the recent episode of 'The ICC Review'.
"But I still think now, Australia probably look a bit more settled, a bit more experienced and we know that they're a very hard team to beat at home. So I'll stick with the 3-1," Ponting further added.
