Key Bowling Performances

It was an important all-round display from Australia paceman Pat Cummins. He picked up three wickets in the first innings of India and three more in the second. Scott Boland also took three wickets in both the Indian innings while Nathan Lyon picked up three in the first and two in the second.

Why Australia Won the Match
Australia were driven to victory by three principal tenets. Initially, the home side scored heavily with Smith (140). Australia then answered back with another four wickets to restrict India to 369, this was despite a century from Nitish Reddy.
And second, with an awesome 234-over second toil at the behest of Australia raised the target to a grisly meal. Half-centuries from Labuschagne, with an important 70 and valuable runs also contributed by Cummins and Lyon.
In the end, it was routine for Australia’s bowlers to take the final innings. Starc, Lyon and Head also chipped in, with Cummins (3-50) and Boland (3-53) picking up three scalps each. The Indian innings never got going and their run rate slumped to 1.96 at one point as they were all out for 155.
