London: Australia defeated India by 209 runs in the World Test Championship final on Sunday, becoming the first team to win the inaugural tournament. Australia’s bowlers were in top form, taking 20 wickets in the match, while their batsmen put on a solid performance to post a challenging total in the first innings.
Confirming the win, BCCI tweeted “WTC Final. Australia won by 209 Run(s)”.
Pat Cummins was the star of the show for Australia, taking 10 wickets in the match. Cummins was ably supported by Josh Hazlewood, who took 5 wickets, and Nathan Lyon, who took 3 wickets. The Australian bowlers were able to exploit the conditions at the Oval, which were helpful to fast bowlers, and they were able to dismiss India’s batsmen cheaply in both innings.
Australia’s batsmen also played well in the match. Marnus Labuschagne top-scored for Australia with 91 runs in the first innings, and Steve Smith made 78 runs in the second innings. David Warner and Cheteshwar Pujara both made half-centuries for India, but the Indian batsmen were unable to build on these starts and were eventually bowled out for 294 and 260.
