Stay informed with complete highlights and post-match insights India’s star batsmen are approaching the latter stages of their careers and this could be their final Border-Gavaskar series together. How they perform against Pat Cummins’ men could have far reaching consequences for their futures.
Sam Konstas’ wild shot against Prasidh Krishna caused an appeal, yet Bumrah managed to hold off review as Australia fell further behind. Bumrah then dispatched Marsh and Labuschagne before eliminating Australia as it lost ground.
India: 165-6 (Rohit Sharma 92)
India and Australia continue their fierce rivalry across all forms of cricket, which remains captivating for fans. Both teams played to their full potential and produced an unforgettable match that will go down as one of the finest moments in series history and long after. Indian batsmen were in exceptional form, chasing down a target of 324 within 37 overs – second fastest run chase ever achieved behind South Africa’s record run chase against Australia at Johannesburg 2006. India bowlers also shined as they restricted Australia to just 153 runs – well below par.
Rohit Sharma’s stellar 92 helped India secure victory. He hit 33 fours during his innings – an unprecedented number in Australia for an Indian in an ODI inning! This incredible effort marked Rohit’s highest score of the series while simultaneously becoming his sixth century in this format.
Australia started their chase off poorly after losing opener Sam Konstas to Prasidh Krishna with an early wild slog off him. Konstas’ dismissal set off a collapse of their home side’s batting as Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith were dismissed to leave them on 58-3; debutant Beau Webster then put together an outstanding partnership of 107 runs with Head to bring them closer to achieving their target.
Kohli looked unstoppable as he raced towards his ninth fifty of the tour, seemingly on course to smashing India to victory. Unfortunately, however, he was run out by Ravindra Jadeja off a straight delivery from Josh Hazlewood off-break which caused an enormous shockwave within their team and caused them to discomfit quickly. This wicket shattered confidence within their ranks and they quickly lost composure in defeating Australia by 50 runs.
After this point, the game settled down into a dead heat with both teams trying to gain an edge in scoring runs. India seemed in control when Rohit hit six off Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga’s opening ball of the final over; however, Sri Lanka struck back within one over with Dilshan Munawar hitting one boundary to draw even.
India’s bowlers used tight bowling in the final over to take control. Mohammad Siraj managed to take one wicket in this over, when he had Hardik Pandya caught at gully. Unfortunately for Mohammad, his efforts weren’t enough as host batsmen held their nerve and powered out a thrilling victory – an ideal way to end such an exciting game and set up their fifth and final Test encounter in Delhi a few weeks later – India won this series 1-0 and secured their most impressive ever victory – one they will play later on next.
Australia: 152-5 (Travis Head 152 not out)
India’s spin trio strangled Australia’s middle order while Travis Head and Beau Webster guided their side’s chase expertly, giving home side an early lead and helping to win back the Border-Gavaskar trophy.
As the game gets underway in Sydney on a bright and sunny day, both teams are anxious to put behind an ineffective start at The Oval behind them and make amends after what was seen as a disappointing debut performance by either side.
Australia take an early lead with Head easing his way to 37 not out with an effortless on-drive off Prasidh Krishna that sails past Brydon Carse at mid on for six.
As the field settles, Head strikes an assured boundary through extra cover off Navdeep Saini’s bowling; Saini then claims his second wicket off his next delivery.
Head’s unfaltering temperament is playing a pivotal role in Australia’s pursuit of victory. He bats with poise, knowing exactly how to manage these pressure-filled circumstances; his next stroke, a swift straight pull off Shivdeep, put them at 151 not out and gave Australia an authoritative advantage over India.
Post lunch, India’s pace attack has been somewhat inconsistent as they’ve lost four quick wickets without Jasprit Bumrah due to injury – Washington Sundar has therefore been brought in as a replacement spinner to provide some needed spin support.
Australian pair aren’t shy to take risks either. Head flicks a Sundar delivery straight down the ground to add two runs to his total in front of an excited sell-out crowd. He appears to relish every moment of it!
But the home side must remain wary of how much batting time remains before stumps. An unexpected spate of wickets could quickly lead to series loss for their hosts.
The Australian team has featured both veteran and young players this series. Mitchell Starc and Marcus Stoinis have struggled with keeping runs flowing while Glenn Maxwell, Marsh and Head have performed when required; yet many are getting older as part of the core batting unit. Since this could become an issue if they’re not replaced quickly, it is crucial that teams have a balance of youth and experience in their ranks. Experienced players possess vast amounts of knowledge regarding what it takes to win Test matches; such expertise will prove vital as India attempt to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy when play resumes next Tuesday at 2:30pm IST!

Final score
India-Australia cricket rivalry is among the fiercest rivalries in sports. Both countries meet regularly in Tests and other formats, often creating memorable moments and thrilling finishes that excite audiences worldwide. Every series between them tells its own tale, and each match promises to entertain fans across the globe – just like their upcoming meeting will do when both nations battle it out on the pitch for supremacy in 2023 Cricket World Cup qualifying tournament.
The fifth Test between India and Australia was an intense, closely-contested affair throughout, with both teams contributing strongly both on the field and with bat. Australia ultimately prevailed thanks to Travis Head’s extraordinary performance and Scott Boland’s bowling. With this victory, Australia took a 3-1 lead in their series and gained another opportunity at winning back the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Day three of the Test match started off wet, and would take some time before play resumed. Australia eventually managed to amass 152-5; though Rohit Sharma played brilliantly to bring their target close.
Australia won the Test by six wickets to qualify for the 2023 Cricket World Cup and secure their place. Australia also recorded their first home Test victory against India since 2018. With five Test wins out of seven attempts against them – this performance represented their best away performance ever seen during an Test series.
India’s batting attack was strengthened by the return of Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube, both of whom made key contributions. India’s middle order also played a vital role with Ajinkya Rahane and Ravichandran Ashwin playing pivotal roles. Unfortunately for Australia however, Marsh, Maxwell, and Glenn Maxwell struggled with their bats compared to India.
Rishabh Reddy’s brilliant century was met by applause from 80,000 Indian fans at the stadium, offering some hope of an inspiring comeback from India. At just 21 years old, Reddy became only the third youngest Indian player ever to score a Test century in Australia and earned him a standing ovation from spectators – his maiden century for Test cricket and no doubt further ones will follow to establish himself as an integral member of their squad.
