That’s what happened in the end. The rain-controlled Brisbane Test ended in a lackluster draw.
Australia scored 445 runs in the first innings losing all wickets. In reply, India scored 260 for 10 in their first innings. With a lead of 185 runs, Australia went into bat in the second innings and suffered a great batting disaster. 85 runs lost 7 wickets. After that, however, they announced the innings at 89 runs. India’s target for victory in 51 overs is 275 runs.
Chasing that run, the rain started as they picked up 8 runs without a wicket in 2.1 overs. That is why the tea break is given earlier. But because of the rain, they did not come down to the field after that. Both teams accepted the draw.
In this draw, the five-match Test series was tied at 1-1. However, there are still two matches left. Travis Head was the man of the match with 152 with the bat and 1 wicket with the ball.
India, who ended the fourth day with 252 runs for the loss of 9 wickets, went into bat on the fifth day today. Akash Deep, who was unbeaten on 27 runs the previous day, was dismissed for 31 runs and India were all out for 260 runs. Bumrah remained unbeaten on 10 runs. Pat Cummins took 4 wickets with the ball and Starc took 3 wickets.
Then Australia came down to bat and fell under the cannon of Indian pacers. Keep losing wickets at regular intervals. They lost 7 wickets in 17.1 overs. Then he left the innings for 89 runs. Pat Cummins scored the maximum 22 runs with the bat. Alex Carey scored an unbeaten 20 runs. And 17 runs come from the bat of Head. None of the rest could touch the double-digit quota.
Bumrah took 3 wickets with 18 runs in 6 overs with the ball in hand. Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep took 2 wickets each.
