"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.
