The batting order led to masssive 534 runs target for Australia to chase with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli hitting a century. The contribution of KL Rahul’s 77 runs in the second innings was a memorable one. The next match will be played on 6 December in Adelaide.
New Zealand Vs England
England beat New Zealand in the first test by 8 wickets at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Brydon Carse claimed his Test-best figures of 6 for 42, in the process becoming the first England seamer to take an overseas ten-wicket haul in 16 years before Jacob Bethel capped the contest with an unbeaten fifty on debut. This was a major concern for India as the Kiwis whitewashed the Indians on home ground last month. The next match will be played on 5 December.
South Africa Vs Sri Lanka
South Africa beat Sri Lanka by 233 runs in Durban and has moved to the second place just below India in the points table. After setting Sri Lanka a target of 516 and taking five wickets on the third evening, South Africa may have expected play on the fourth day to be nothing more than a formality. The next match will be played on 5 December.
