Australia has added another trophy to their impressive collection as they emerged victorious in the World Test Championship. The final match at the Oval concluded with a comprehensive win for the Australian team. While Australia was the favored side to win, India still held a glimmer of hope at the start of the final day.
The pitch didn’t offer much assistance to the bowlers, and India appeared comfortable during the initial stages of the day. However, the tide turned when Nathan Lyon bowled to Mohammed Siraj. Siraj attempted a reverse-sweep to a delivery that pitched at a good length, only to find the ball landing straight into the hands of backward point fielder. With that catch, the Australian captain sealed the win and the World Test Championship title.
Travis Head: Travis Head’s fearless approach to the game was on full display during Australia’s first innings. He attacked the Indian bowlers, providing the much-needed impetus to his team’s innings. Head’s aggressive knock of 163, which included 18 boundaries, not only stabilized Australia but also put pressure on India’s bowling unit.
