India and Australia cricket teams are in the middle of an intense battle at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Their 5-match Test series stands on the line. The result can be that Australia won comprehensively by 3-1, or India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a 2-2 finish. Batting fourth, Australia has been given a target of 162 runs. If Team India somehow manages to stop them, it’ll be one of the lowest scores defended at the SCG in Test cricket.
