Match Summary

After their heavy defeat in New Zealand, India appeared as though they may struggle on a bumpy Canberra pitch but instead relied on their strong batting lineup and bowling display to secure a remarkable win.

Even without their captain, No 3 wristspinner and second-best seamer, India’s batsmen took control in a convincing win, led by debutant making an immediate impact, superb slip catching from India and Scott Boland taking four could-have-been five wickets with Rishabh Pant providing bursts of brilliance to achieve remarkable performance by the tourists.

Australia’s batting struggles continued as Usman Khawaja was caught behind for just 17 and Travis Head fell victim to Mohammed Siraj within one over. Marnus Labuschagne and Scott did their best, but both were dismissed soon afterwards as India amassed a huge lead of 212 runs.

Australia seemed doomed, losing opener Sam Konstas in just the third over to Washington Sundar and captain Steve Smith soon thereafter to Prasidh Krishna; but Beau Webster batted through with an impressive 57 before late cameos from Hardik Pandya and Prasidh helped get them closer than before – only for Rohit Sharma to leave them in trouble!

With so much riding on this contest, both sides will go all-out for victory and it promises to be another thrilling encounter between two of cricket’s most historic rivalries. Both sides have met 151 times with Australia emerging victorious 54 wins to India’s 47 and 9 draws.

Australia and India always produce some stunning cricket when they collide, whether in an intense Border-Gavaskar Test match or thrilling ODI encounter. Even after scheduling changes and the move to Optus Stadium in Perth, every reason suggests this will be no exception. India should take this test as an opportunity to demonstrate they can still compete against the best; their aim will be defending their ICC crown successfully!
