Australia Defeats India 3-1 to Reclaim Border-Gavaskar Trophy and Secure WTC Final Spot
A six-wicket victory in Sydney ends Australia's decade-long wait for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and eliminates India from the World Test Championship final for the first time.
- Australia chased down 162 on Day 3 of the fifth Test in Sydney, with Travis Head and debutant Beau Webster guiding the team to a six-wicket win.
- Scott Boland delivered a match-winning performance, taking 10 wickets across both innings, including 6/45 in the second innings, to dismantle India’s batting lineup.
- India’s stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah was sidelined with a back spasm during the match, leaving the team’s bowling attack weakened in a critical moment.
- The series saw record-breaking attendance, the emergence of young talents like Sam Konstas and Nitish Kumar Reddy, and the struggles of veteran players such as Rohit Sharma and Usman Khawaja.
- Australia will face South Africa in the World Test Championship final at Lord's in June, marking their second consecutive appearance in the title match.
