BGT 2024-25: Beating India In WTC Final Should Give Us Bit Of Confidence, Says Lyon

By IANS News November 18, 2024 • 13:14 PM View: 1009

World Test Championship Final: Though Australia hasn’t tasted success in a home Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India for nearly ten years, veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon is optimistic about their chances this time, citing their triumph over the visitors’ in the 2023 World Test Championship Final.

Australia defeated India by 209 runs to win the second edition of the ICC World Test Championship at The Oval in June 2023, making it their maiden win of the two-year championship cycle.

“India’s got the wood over us in the past few series, but if you’re looking at the World Test Championship (final) in England, we were able to beat them there, and I know that should give us a bit of confidence heading into (this summer).”
