5th Test: Boland Picks Six As Aus Bowl Out India For 157, Need 162 To Win Series
Seamer Scott Boland: Seamer Scott Boland picked 6-45 as Australia need 162 runs to win the fifth Test and clinch the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade after dismissing India for 157 on day three’s play at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.
Resuming from 141/6, India could add only 16 runs to its overnight total before their second innings ended in 39.5 overs inside first hour of day three. With the pitch having enough help and movement for seamers, Boland and Pat Cummins picked two wickets each in an accurate bowling performance to end India’s innings quickly and set the stage for an exciting finish to the series.
The figures of 6-45 coming in 16.5 overs is also Boland's first five-wicket haul in Tests since his iconic 6/7 on debut against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 2021 Ashes, as the seamer got a match haul of ten wickets, with the Sydney crowd in pink cheering for him with full energy.
