Highlights | IND VS AUS WTC Final, Day 5 Cricket Score and Updates: Australia Beat India By 209 Runs To Claim World Test Championship Title

India Vs Australia Day 5, WTC Final 2023 LIVE Cricket Scorecard and Updates: Australia becomes first team to win all ICC trophies.

Australia finally secured the missing silverware, adding it to their already overflowing trophy cabinet. They achieved a resounding victory here at the Oval. Although Australia were the favourites, India still harboured hopes of winning at the start of the final day. The pitch didn't pose too many challenges, and India seemed comfortable in the first half-hour. However, Kohli's attempt to chase a wide delivery outside off resulted in an edge, brilliantly caught by Smith at second slip. That turned out to be the decisive blow.

Boland delivered it, dismissing Jadeja in the very same over. From that point on, the game was completely one-sided. Despite Starc being expensive, he managed to dismiss India's top run-scorer of the Test. The Indian tail couldn't hold on for long, as Lyon, Australia's exceptional offspinner, claimed four wickets. Having been asked to bat first, Australia overcame the initial threat and remained in control throughout the match. India spent the entire Test trying to catch up, but none of their batsmen could convert their promising starts. If one were to choose a defining moment from this final, it would undoubtedly be Head's impressive innings in the first innings, making him the deserving Player of the Match.

WTC Final IND VS AUS Day 5: That Is It!

Amidst a spectacular display of fireworks, Pat Cummins and his team proudly receive the coveted WTC mace, marking Australia's triumphant claim of the title they had diligently pursued for two years. It was a moment of immense joy and satisfaction for the Australian side. On the other hand, India departs England with a lingering frustration after suffering a second consecutive loss in the finals. Despite consistently being recognized as one of the world's top two Test sides, they have yet to overcome this final hurdle, leading to deep introspection and scrutiny back home.

In the days to come, we will provide a comprehensive analysis of India's performance, aiming to shed light on the factors contributing to their continued struggle in the finals. The disappointment felt by the Indian team is bound to ignite a period of intense evaluation and reflection.

While Australia basks in their moment of glory, their celebration will be short-lived. The next chapter of the World Test Championship begins promptly on Friday as they face England in the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston. The cricketing action keeps rolling, leaving no time for complacency or rest.

WTC Final IND VS AUS Day 5: Disappointed Rohit Sharma Says THIS

"It was a tough one. We started well winning the toss and putting them into bat in those conditions. We bowled pretty well in the first session and then we let ourselves down a little bit with how we bowled. But again, credit to the Australian batters, in particular, Travis Head came in and played really well. That took us off guard a little bit and then we knew it was always hard to come back. We put a up show. We fought hard but congratulations to Australia. We spoke of a lot of things. We spoke of bowling tighter lines. But it didn't work out. Things like that can happen. I thought it was a great fightback from Rahane and Shardul after being 5 down for 150. They stood up and put up a good partnership there and kept us in the game. We bowled pretty well in the second innings. Again we didn't apply ourselves with the bat. It was a good pitch to bat on. All five days the pitch behaved pretty well and we didn't capitalise. We've worked really hard for four years to make two finals. It's disappointment for us. We would like to go one better. But you cannot take anything away from what we've done in the two years. It's a great effort. A lot of players took part in those series. We'll keep our heads high and fight for the next championship as well."

WTC Final IND VS AUS Day 5: Pat Cummins On Australia's Win

"We made the most of the toss. We were certainly going to have a bowl. The way Travis and Smith played it gave us all a little bit of comfort after a pretty nervy morning. Travis has been brilliant throughout this whole campaign. He is always putting pressure back on the bowlers. We left day one on top of the game, mainly down to those two guys. At times we weren't at our slickest. But when it counted we played really well. I thought a couple of days ago we could have really driven the game home but we let India a little bit closer. For the most part we were in control. Scotty Boland is now my favourite player. He just continues to be my favourite. Everyone just did their role. Coming off a bit of a break for most of us. We'll savour this for a few days before we turn our attention to the Ashes."

WTC Final IND VS AUS Day 5: Australia's Best Bowler Of The Match Scott Boland

"It was good fun. Nice for our bowling group to come over here and put up a good performance and take 20 wickets. You needed to hit similar areas all the time. There was a little bit of bounce and we tried to exploit that. It felt pretty good to get Kohli out. Some amazing catching from our cordon, it's nice to have the confidence that if you get the nicks they're going to get taken."

WTC Final IND VS AUS Day 5: Travis Head After Winning Player of the Match Award

"Lot of hard work over the two years. It's been nice. That's been the approach for two years (positive approach with the bat). Said throughout the week that I want to be able to be proactive. I was tested throughout the innings. It was nice to be out there for a period of time with Smudge. Amazing week. Amazing Test from him and what we've come to expect (from him) here in England. Hope it's a big couple of months from him. And I've always said that it feels like all the plans go to him, all the attention he draws, and I can just go about my work. Nice to spend some time out with him. I've always had the confidence. It's about going out there and expressing that. It took me some time and everyone goes through that. I've always been open to change, open to learning. I've bedded down somewhat of a blueprint. It's not always going to work. It's nice to work that out in such a big game and hopefully continue in the next couple of months. Lot of what-ifs going to bed last night. We've come across such moments through the two years where we've had to grind it out. Were able to do that again today."

WTC Final IND VS AUS Day 5: Australia Dominate

The final witnessed an exceptional display of dominance. Especially this morning when India injected excitement into the match on the fourth day. Scott Boland initiated the downfall with a splendid performance, dismissing both Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja in the same over. Starc followed suit by removing Ajinkya Rahane, and Lyon sealed the deal. However, the foundation for this victory was laid on the first day by the remarkable 285-run partnership between Travis Head and Steven Smith, after Australia was put to bat. That partnership ultimately proved to be the decisive factor in the game.

"At the time I definitely thought I caught it.
