Australia have qualified for the World Test Championship (WTC) final and ended India's contention after winning the fifth and final Test in Sydney by six wickets and hence the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1. Australia's win meant that India were knocked out of the race to make it to their third consecutive final and their dream of winning the Test mace remains distant, having lost the final twice. For Australia, this will be their second consecutive final as they will take on South Africa this time around, at Lord's from June 11-15. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/wtc-points-table-update-after-border-gavaskar-trophy-south-africa-still-at-top-two-more-teams-knocked-out-2025-01-05-969609
The fire is still inside the Indian team, not in the batting, but in the bowling and the field. What happened on the last couple of balls to end the day has set the game up nicely for the rest of the Test match after what turned out to be a pretty sombre day at the Sydney Cricket Ground. A fired-up Jasprit Bumrah nipped out Usman Khawaja on the last delivery of the day but Australia ended the day on top having skittled India for 185 runs.source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/ind-vs-aus-india-s-batting-woes-continue-as-australia-boss-opening-day-at-scg-2025-01-03-969303
