India's WTC Final Hopes Dealth With Another Blow As Australia Win MCG Test
India's WTC Final Hopes Dealth With Another Blow As Australia Win MCG Test
Australia ripped out seven wickets in the final session of a dramatic fourth Test in Melbourne on Monday to beat India by 184 runs and go 2-1 up in the five-match series.
Chasing a mammoth 340 for the win, India crumbled to 155 all out with just 12.5 overs left in the match.
India looked well placed to salvage a draw after opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant steered them to 112/3 at Tea.
However, Pant perished trying to slog part-time spinner Travis Head for six to spark a collapse.
India's last seven wickets fell for 34 runs from 20.3 overs with Australia taking a 2-1 lead in the series.
India will need to win the final Test starting in Sydney on Friday to level the series and retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
