Australia bounces back to beat India by 10 wickets in 2nd test and level series
Associated PressADELAIDE, Australia — Australia bounced back from a heavy home defeat to level the Border-Gavaskar test series at 1-1 after a comprehensive 10-wicket win in the second test against India on Sunday. “I think being one down, no doubt there’s a little bit more on it trying to level up the series.” Resuming at 128-5 in the second innings, India needed a near-miracle from Rishabh Pant to have any hope of setting a testing fourth innings target for Australia to chase. “We hope that everyone stands up to that challenge and takes the team through whenever it’s required.” India was bowled out for 180 runs in the first innings on the back of Starc’s career best figures of 6-48. Australia’s quicks then dismantled India’s top order in the second innings under lights to leave the match strongly in the hosts favour heading into the third day.
