The fate of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 has been narrowed down to the final game at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) where Australia will be looking for a win or a draw while the India require a win to take the trophy back. Though it was the exceptional performance from the Australian bowlers on Day 5 of the Boxing Day Test, the batters' contributions cannot be overlooked. Although it's been a Travis Head show since the very start, the Aussie middle-order batsman leading run-getter for the series; Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne returning to form for the team has also had something to say for the team overall. Even with some of the batters failing to deliver, wicket-keeper batsman Alex Carey seems content about the performance in general. Speaking about what makes the whole squad feel the mood is.

We understand it wasn't the way we wanted to play, but I think staying level and understanding that we're a good team has been the way," Australia can secure their spot in the WTC Final in June by winning or drawing the match in Sydney starting Friday, January 3. India, however, needs to win the game and hope Sri Lanka helps them out.
