5th Test: Australia Beat India By 6 Wickets To Claim Border-Gavaskar Trophy After A Decade
Sydney Cricket Ground: After 2014/15, Australia were winless in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on their home soil. But the tables turned under bright sunshine at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday, as the hosts beat India to win the fifth Test by six wickets and clinch the series 3-1.
In the morning, resuming from 141/6, India could add only 16 runs to its overnight total before their second innings ended in the first 45 minutes of day three. With the pitch having enough help and movement for seamers, Scott Boland and Pat Cummins picked two wickets each in an accurate bowling performance to end India’s innings quickly and set themselves up for a chase of 162.
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.
