India Vs Australia, 2nd Test Day 3: Pat Cummins And Co Beat Hosts By 10 Wickets In Adelaide Oval To Level Series

🌌Australia dismissed India for 175 runs in their second innings before comfortably chasing down a modest target of 19 runs to win the Pink-ball Test by 10 wickets, levelling the five-match series at 1-1 at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday. Starting the day at 128 for 5, India quickly lost their remaining five wickets for just 47 runs in 12.5 overs on Day 3. Nitish Kumar Reddy was the top scorer, making 42 runs off 47 balls. Usman Khawaja (9 not out) and Nathan McSweeney (10 not out) successfully chased the target in just 3.2 overs to secure the win. Skipper Pat Cummins was the standout bowler, taking 5 wickets for 57 runs, with support from Scott Boland (3 for 51) and Mitchell Starc (2 for 60). India had previously claimed a commanding 295-run victory in the series opener in Perth but could not replicate that performance in Adelaide.
