BIG 🍞 NEWS

🦘Australia cemented their spot at the top of the WTC table

Australia completed a six-wicket victory within two days in the first test against South Africa on Sunday as the Proteas crumbled on a green Gabba wicket that played into the home bowlers' hands.

  • Second-shortest Test since World War II

  • 7 Number of Tests with a result in fewer balls than the Brisbane Test's 866.

  • 25.5 Balls per wicket for bowlers in the Brisbane Test

🇮🇳 India wraps up the first test against Bangladesh

It took India only 11.2 overs on the final morning of the Chattogram Test to pick up the last four Bangladesh wickets and take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Their 188-run win and South Africa's six-wicket loss to Australia shortly afterwards meant India are now second on the World Test Championship points table. They have another five Tests in this cycle, and if they win four of those, they will guarantee themselves another appearance in the final.
