Australia Level Series with Crushing Win

Pat Cummins led from the front with a five-wicket haul as Australia flattened India in Adelaide to level the series 1-1 with a 10-wicket win.

Cummins' Masterclass

Cummins took 5-57 to dismantle India's lower-order, with R Ashwin and Harshit Rana falling to his short-ball barrage. Nitish Reddy managed to get on top of the bounce but was eventually caught ramping a short ball to fly slip.

India's Collapse

India's lower-order was subjected to intense pressure, with Rishabh Pant and R Ashwin falling early. Jasprit Bumrah was left to fend for himself, but even he couldn't withstand Cummins' onslaught.

Australia's Dominance

The openers knocked off the target without any hiccups, marking Australia's dominance in day-night Tests. They won their 12th out of 13 games, with Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne contributing significantly in the first innings.
