Sydney ,December 27, 2024: Australia finds itself in a commanding position at the end of Day 2 in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, with India’s fightback halted by a brilliant spell from Australian pacer Scott Boland. Boland’s outstanding performance in the final session restricted India’s progress, leaving them struggling to recover from a challenging position.
Earlier, India had shown resilience with a solid partnership between their top order, but the Australian bowlers applied relentless pressure throughout the day. Boland’s spell in the latter stages of the day proved crucial, as he claimed key wickets to shift the momentum in favor of the hosts.
At stumps, India’s score remains under threat, with Australia tightening its grip on the match. The Indian team will need a strong performance on Day 3 to stage a comeback, while Australia will look to capitalize on their advantage and take further control of the game.
