Speaking of the match, the Men in Blue batted first and posted a total of 240 runs against the Baggy Greens. After an average batting performance with the bat, the hosts seemingly made a comeback in the second inning. The Indian bowlers including Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah got some early successes for their side and picked three wickets within seven overs of the Aussie inning.
However, the brilliant partnership by Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head proved to be a game changer for the Aussies, and they ended up lifting the coveted title for the sixth time.
