India Stumbles as Australia Secures a Thrilling Victory to Lead 2-1 – Reddy Anna Match Prediction Insights

A massive crowd of over 66,000 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) witnessed a historic Australian victory as Pat Cummins' team triggered a dramatic Indian collapse in the final session. Losing 7 wickets for just 34 runs, India’s fight to secure a draw ended in heartbreak, with Australia taking a 2-1 lead in the series.

Rishabh Pant’s rash dismissal after Tea proved to be the turning point. He hit a half-tracker from part-timer Travis Head straight to Mitchell Marsh at long-on, derailing India’s momentum. Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon capitalized, with Boland removing Ravindra Jadeja through a sharp rising delivery, while Lyon dismissed centurion Nitish Reddy for just 1 run. India fell from 121/3 to 130/6, giving Australia the upper hand.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Washington Sundar tried to steady the ship, but a controversial review overturned Jaiswal’s dismissal, thanks to a slight deviation in the ball's trajectory. Despite no significant spike on Snicko, the decision left India reeling. The rest of the Indian tail couldn’t resist the relentless Australian attack, with Scott Boland and Pat Cummins cleaning up quickly.

Earlier, India’s chase began poorly as Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli fell to the new ball. Rohit and Rahul succumbed to Cummins’ brilliance, while Kohli edged one outside off-stump at a crucial moment before Lunch. Jaiswal and Pant’s middle-session resistance gave India hope, but it crumbled swiftly in the face of disciplined bowling and pressure-field placements.

Australia’s dominant performance was fueled by excellent bowling from Pat Cummins, Scott Boland, and Nathan Lyon, leaving India’s batting lineup unable to hold its ground.
