Great win by the aussies only losing one wicket in the chase of 76 for victory in the 3rd test. With that victory, the aussies are now assured of a spot in the World Championship Test Final in England in June

Australia lost Usman Khawaja on the second ball of the innings, but after that, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne took control of the run chase with a 78-run unbeaten partnership.
It is Australia’s first test win on Indian soil since Pune in 2017.
Not surprisingly Nathan Lyon was named player of the match for his bowling figures of 3/35 and 8/64.

It was a very good win for the Aussies, however the game was completed in 3 days. I believe that the curators have gone too far with the use of spin-friendly pitches in Indore.

I think the short notice of the venue hosting had an impact on the wicket.

Day 1 of the Ahmedabad test belonged to Australia. Usman Khawaja brought up his century on the final over of the day’s play (his first in India) as the tourists reached 4/255 at stumps on a slow pitch.
Before play began, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese did a lap of the stadium (named after Modi), met both teams, and joined them for the national anthems. It marks 75 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Pretty exciting match in NZ. Not as exciting as the last English match but NZ is chasing 11 overs with about 72 runs to win.

Well another great match. NZ won off the last ball with a run out attempt (direct hit). Kane Williamson was in by the skin of his teeth.

And there it is! NZ have beaten Sri Lanka by 2 wickets on the final day with zero balls to spare. Sri Lanka’s hopes of advancing to the WTC Final have ended. This means that India have guaranteed a spot in the WTC Final against Australia

The fourth and final test between India and Australia at Ahmedabad has ended in a tame draw. Australia finished their second innings on 2/175, leading the home side by 84 runs, when the two team captains shook hands.
Virat Kohli was awarded player of the match for his score of 186, while Australian opener Usman Khawaja made 180 before he injured his leg while fielding during India’s first innings. Ravi Ashwin (25 wickets) and Ravindra Jadeja (22 wickets) were named players of the series.
India won the series 2-1 and retained the Border-Gavaskar trophy for another four years (the next series will be held in Australia).
Former Australian captain Tim Paine has now retired from all forms of cricket.

Western Australia have won back-to-back Sheffield Shield titles, defeating Victoria by nine wickets in the final at WACA Ground this afternoon. WA captain Ashton Turner was named player of the match for his first innings score of 128, and Queensland’s Michael Neser was named player of the season for taking 40 wickets and making 357 runs during the 2022-23 competition.
The result means WA have completed domestic’s men’s treble (Sheffield Shield, One-Day Cup and BBL) for the second season in a row.
