4th Test: Cummins, Boland Pick Three As Aus Take 2-1 Lead With 184-run Win Over India
Captain Pat Cummins: Captain Pat Cummins and Scott Boland picked three wickets each as a terrific bowling performance from Australia led them to a 184-run win over India in the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday.
India were at 112/3 at tea, with Yashasvi Jaiswal hitting a controlled fifty and Rishabh Pant showing remarkable restraint. But in the final session of the gripping Test match, Pant fell to Travis Head and that opened up the door for Australia to barge in as India collapsed from 121/3 to 155 all out.
The visitors’ losing their last seven wickets for 34 runs in 20.3 overs has meant Australia now have a 2-1 lead in the five-match series, ahead of final match in Sydney. For India, they will be disappointed as it was a game that they could have drawn but have now ended up on the losing side.
