New Delhi, January 2025.
Australia defeated India by six wickets in the fifth and final Test to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years and cement their place in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 final to be played against South Africa at Lord’s later this year.
With this win, Australia secured their second straight WTC final qualification while India got eliminated. Australia won the BGT 2024-24 3-1.
With South Africa already qualified for their maiden WTC final last month, Australia needed just a win in their final three Tests to qualify for the coveted final. Led by Pat Cummins, Australia needed just three days to secure the victory. Cummins also became the first player to take 200 Test wickets in WTC history.
