The highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy has begun with bowlers dominating and batters struggling at the Perth Cricket Stadium. India was bowled out for 150 on Day 1, while Australia is edging toward their lowest total against India, currently at 67/7. The lowest total Australia has ever scored against India is 83, recorded back in 1981.
India must win this match to keep their qualification hopes alive for the World Test Championship (WTC) final. The top two teams in the Test rankings are finding it challenging to score runs, as the pitch heavily favors pacers. If Australia is dismissed for less than 83, it will mark their lowest total in Test cricket against India.
Australia’s lowest total in Test against India
Australia has been bowled out for less than 100 runs three times against India, and on November 22, they could face this fate for the fourth time on Day 1.
