Match Summary
Australia clinched a 184-run victory in the 5th Test, securing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 with a 3-1 series win. India, opting to bat first, were dismantled by Scott Boland’s exceptional 6/31, collapsing to 185/10 in 72.2 overs. Rishabh Pant (28) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (25) provided brief resistance, but Pat Cummins (2/39) and Boland’s relentless accuracy exposed India’s batting frailties. Australia responded with 308/6 declared, led by Beau Webster’s unbeaten 113 (151) and Steve Smith’s 97 (163), establishing a 123-run lead. Jasprit Bumrah’s 3/67, including the wickets of Sam Konstas and Marnus Labuschagne, kept India in the contest, but Australia’s middle order held firm. Chasing 332, India crumbled to 148/10, with Pant (30) and Shubman Gill (28) unable to counter Australia’s disciplined attack, led by Mitchell Starc (3/40) and Boland (2/28). Boland’s match haul of 8 wickets earned him Player of the Match.
Key Moments:
-
Boland’s 6/31 in India’s first innings, dismissing Gill, Kohli, and Pant, set the tone.
-
Webster’s maiden Test century (113*) and Smith’s 97 built Australia’s commanding lead.
-
India’s second innings collapsed early, with Starc removing Jaiswal (4) and Boland dismissing Rahul (7).
-
Australia’s declaration at 308/6 allowed ample time to bowl India out, sealing the series.
Impact on Standings: Australia’s victory reinforced their position atop the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 standings, though South Africa later won the WTC title. India, finishing fourth in the WTC standings, faced further challenges with their next series against England starting June 20, 2025. The loss highlighted ongoing concerns with India’s top-order consistency, particularly Virat Kohli’s form (22 runs across both innings).
