Match Summary
Australia secured a commanding 184-run victory, clinching the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1. India, batting first, struggled against Scott Boland’s sensational 6/31, collapsing to 185/10 in 72.2 overs. Rishabh Pant (28) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (25) offered brief resistance, but Pat Cummins (2/39) and Boland dismantled the lineup. Australia responded with 308/6 declared, powered by Beau Webster’s unbeaten 113 (151) and Steve Smith’s 97 (163). Jasprit Bumrah (3/67) led India’s bowling, but Australia’s 123-run lead proved decisive. India’s second innings faltered at 148/10, with Pant (30) and Shubman Gill (28) unable to counter Australia’s disciplined attack, led by Mitchell Starc (3/40) and Boland (2/28). Boland’s match haul of 8 wickets earned him Player of the Match.
Key Moments:
-
Boland’s 6/31 in India’s first innings set the tone, with key dismissals of Gill, Kohli, and Pant.
-
Webster’s maiden Test ton (113*) and Smith’s 97 built Australia’s commanding lead.
-
India’s second innings crumbled under pressure, with Starc’s early dismissal of Jaiswal (4) triggering a collapse.
-
Australia’s declaration at 308/6 allowed ample time to bowl India out, sealing the series.
Impact on Standings: Australia’s victory strengthened their position at the top of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 standings, while India’s loss dented their hopes of reaching the WTC final, with South Africa later clinching the title. Australia’s next Test series is against Sri Lanka in February 2025, while India face England in a five-match series starting June 20, 2025.
