Australia Win By 10 Wickets | India vs Australia Highlights of 2nd Test 2024 Day 3: Pat Cummins, Travis Head Shine As India Lose Pink-Ball Test, BGT 2024-25 Series Level 1-1

As expected India faltered in the Pink-Ball Test, and brought Australia back into the BGT 2024-25. Australia's bowlers shined for them, with both Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins picking up five-wicket hauls in the first and second innings, respectively. Meanwhile, Travis Head shone with the bat in the first innings, handing Australia a crucial 157-run lead. The BGT 2024-25 caravan will now head to The Gabba.

Thats It! Australia have mauled India and How. Under Pat Cummins, the Australian National Cricket Team has managed to crush India on Day 3 of the second BGT 2024-25 Test, taking the match by 10 wickets. Cummins, in particular, starred for his side, claiming a five-wicket haul. 

Australian openers are out in the middle and will look to make these 19 runs as quickly as possible. Nathan McSweeney and Usman Khawaja would want to go unbeaten and head into the Boxing Day Test with high confidence. 

OUT! Scott Boland gets the final Indian wicket as Mohammed Siraj falls for a nine-ball nine. Interestingly, Travis Head took Siraj's catch standing at short-leg, where the short-ball ploy worked for the Australians. Mohammed Siraj c Head b Boland 7(8)

OUT! Pat Cummins gets the final laugh as Nitish Kumar Reddy hands catch in the slip cordon trying to play the ramp shot. Cummins gets his fifth wicket of the innings, that has broken India's back in this inning. Nitish Reddy c McSweeney b Cummins 42(47) 

OUT! Two-in-two for Pat Cummins as the bowler gets his second wicket of the day in no time, getting Harshit Rana. Rana looked unsure against the short ball, which became his undoing eventually. Harshit Rana c Khawaja b Cummins 0(12)

OUT!  Ravichandran Ashwin's short-stay in the middle is over, as Pat Cummins gets the better of the Indian all-rounder. Ashwin wanted to play the hook shot but managed just a glove on the ball handing a simple catch to Alex Carey. Ravi Ashwin c Carey b Cummins 7(14)

OUT! Mitchell Starc gets the big fish, Rishabh Pant. Pant was India's only hope in the Test, but gets out in the softest off manner, giving Alex Carey a simple catch.  Rishabh Pant c Smith b Mitchell Starc 28(31)

Welcome back for the coverage of Day 3 of the ongoing IND vs AUS 2nd Test 2024. India finds themselves in a deep ditch, with half their side already back in the hut, while Australia are overwhelming favourites to win the contest from here on unless a miracle happens.
