Rishabh Pant just got out, and that takes the advantage away from India. He made 61 from just 33 balls, smashing the Australian bowlers without any mercy. Right now India has a lead of 132 runs. In order to solidify their advantage, they need to take that lead to at least 200. Bumrah has returned to the Indian camp after his MRI scan. There is still no word from the Indian dressing room whether he will be able to bowl or not.

Rishab Pant's innings was very important. If Rishab Pant had been able to stay at the crease for another 10 overs, then perhaps India would have been able to collect close to 200. Even though it is a Test format match, Pant batted very aggressively today. Rishab Pant returned to the dressing room after scoring 61 runs from 33 balls. Now Jadeja and Nitish Reddy are at the crease. These two batsmen have the ability to play big innings. However, the pitch is not batting friendly. So it is not possible to say for sure whether these two batsmen will be able to collect big. My guess is that India's innings will end between 200-220.

Australia lost their valuable wicket at the very end of the day. I watched the game at the time when Australia's first wicket fell as Ampere ended the first day's play. The jubilation of the Indian cricketers showed how important that wicket was for them at the end of the day. A loss of wickets at that time is usually a negative for any team. But on the second day, Australia quickly got all out against India. Australia ended their first innings with 181 runs all out. Team India will soon be out to bat in their second innings and they will definitely be looking to put up a big score against Australia. Because if they can't score big in the innings then again the result of this test match can go in favor of Australia.

Although the Australian bowlers were able to do their job properly, we did not see a good performance from the Australian batsmen. India scored only 185 runs in the first innings. But even then, the Australian team failed to take the lead in the first innings. Australia's innings was stopped at 181 runs. The Australian team was 4 runs behind India.

Bumrah, Siraj and Prasidh Krishna bowled quite well. Siraj and Prasidh Krishna took 3 wickets each. Beau Webster was the highest scorer among the Australian batsmen, scoring 57 runs.

India cannot be said to be doing well in the second innings. India lost their fourth wicket for 74 runs in the first innings. And India lost their fourth wicket for 78 runs in the second innings. So far, the chances of winning this match are equal for both teams.

India lost their fourth wicket for 78 runs. India are batting brilliantly in the fifth wicket partnership. Rishab Pant's batting does not look like a Test match. Rishab Pant is unbeaten on 61 runs from 31 balls. Rishab Pant understands that it is difficult to stay at the crease for a long time on this pitch. So he is trying to score runs quickly. India scored 124 runs in 22 overs. I would say this is a pretty good total. If India somehow manages to give a target of 250+ then India has a better chance of winning this match. It will be a big challenge for any team to score more than 250 in the last innings on this pitch to win.

Rishabh Pant singlehandedly put India back in driver's seat. And at the moment, he seems to be the only Indian batsmen who know how to deal with Scott Boland. On the other hand, Boland (who apparently is the "reserve" bowler for Australia) has 53 wickets to his name, at an unbelievable average of 18.51. BTW, Bumrah's average stands at 19.42. Anyway, Mitchell Starc is getting some solid punishment from Pant at the moment. Just now he got hit for two consecutive sixes.

In the 5th Test match between Australia vs India, India team came out to bat for the 1st Innings and scored 185 runs for the loss of 10 wickets in 72.2 overs. In the 1st Innings, India team could not do well in batting, Australia team did well in bowling, due to which India team was under pressure in batting. India team batsman Virat Kohli was out for 17 runs in 69 balls. Australia team now came out to bat for the 1st Innings and scored 9 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 3 overs.

On the second day, the Australian team batted to meet the Indian team's target but they batted under a lot of pressure from the start. India had given a target of only 185 runs. In order to meet this target, the Australian team lost six important wickets, but so far they have not been able to reach the target. However, I think Australia may be able to meet the target given by India but they will have to lose more wickets and will not be able to give much lead. If the Australian team is unable to give India a lead today, then the hope of winning will be very low. Rather, if Australia loses in the fifth Test match and India wins, then the series result will turn into a draw, so the Australian team will have to bat well to win the series. Already, India has been able to strengthen its bowling line a lot to win the series and they are playing well with the aim of drawing the series result.

Afghanistan players are batting very badly in the second test match. The team had to score only 157 runs in the first innings. Zimbabwe has managed to take a decent lead. And in the second innings too we are not seeing a good performance from the Afghanistan players. The Afghanistan team has scored 46 runs and lost 3 wickets. SIkandar Raza and Muzarbani are also able to bowl well in the second innings.

Afghanistan is underperforming in this test match. No one can believe that they will show such a poor performance in both of the innings. Sometimes there can be a bad patch and a team performs bad, but if the batsmen show the same performance in 2nd innings too then there is something wrong with their approach and planning.

Both openers Abdul Malik and Riaz Hassan were out cheaply in the 2nd inning. Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi went out at 13 only. Rahmat Shah is playing at 18 but with wickets dropping at the other end, I don't think he can survive for long due to pressure.

You are right Zimbabwe has performed very well compared to Afghanistan there was more expectation from Afghanistan that they will play well in the test match but no they are not performing very well. Afghanistan were all out for just 157 runs in the first innings which is very embarrassing for Afghanistan. After going into bat with a lead of 157 runs given by Afghanistan, the Zimbabwean team scored 243 runs thanks to responsible batting by the next batsmen after losing early wickets. Afghanistan's batsmen need to bat responsibly in the second innings if they want to win the Test match. Zimbabwe team has already lost three wickets while collecting 46 runs. The next batsmen must bat responsibly or Afghanistan will lose the Test match against Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe has played really well, and this is a great opportunity, and they shouldn't leave it. One of the much-expected players of the Zimbabwe team has performed well in the match, Sikandar Raza. His 61 runs and 75 runs by Ervine from the lower order have made Zimbabwe reach a good score in the first innings. Playing head to head, both the teams have won a match, and one match has ended in a draw. The Zimbabwe team needs to focus on breaking the partnership, and there are three days left in the match. On the third day almost, we'll get the result of the match.

South Africa's impressive performance at the start of the second Test will put them in a good position to win. They have managed to score 316 for the loss of just 4 wickets on the first day. Ryan Rickelton is just 24 runs shy of a double century while Temba Bavuma has scored a century. If they get a chance to bat for longer, there is a possibility that this score will go beyond 600. If we take a guess based on the first Test, then South Africa is likely to win. Temba Bavuma's performance for South Africa is quite admirably. He batted responsibly in the first match and has maintained his consistency.

Yeh no doubt partnership between bavuma and Ryan really help them to be in strong and dominate position because at start due to back to back wickets they move to back foot to secure things, but now looking to their current situation I think they will declare innings as soon as Ryan complete thier double century or just hit 400+ runs. as for me it's quit enough Target for them to defend also they has to push innings toward proper results but not draw/abundant because they longer they took in thier first inning their chances will definitely reduce. Anyway Pakistan seem to be in huge trouble because already most of thier player unable to have good impact in test format also saim got injured so may be it's Gona be another victory but if Pakistan didn't show any resistance

2 nd test game was started between South team and Pakistan team. 1 st test game was won South Africa team and lead this test series. In 2 nd test game, South Africa team scored 316 runs in 1 at turn and their turn is contuining and chance of South Africa team is very good. Ryan is a good player and he scored 176 runs and not dismissal. Temba was dismissed but he played very well and made 106 runs in 179 balls. Stubbs and Wiaan both played very poor and Stubbs scored 0 runs and Wiaan scored 5 runs. Total 4 wickets of South Africa team was dismissed. Agha took down 2 wickets and let's what happen and who will win game.

Current test format is helpful for home countries sometime back we have few suggestions, but these were badly rejected but if we have these surely things could be manageable for visiting teams as well because these surely going to give balance to both teams, but mostly countries love take advantage as home team and doing things for their own which are surely creating trouble but we still have good depth in Indian team which is fighting hard in these conditions for long time and now having good results against SENA countries.
First day of this last and final test match completely favourable for Australia but there is still a good chance for India to fightback and bring themselves into level for having this series ended on draw but here we have not good support for Jaspreet Bumrah which is the biggest problem for Indian bowling.

The most controversial issue in cricket right now is the India vs Australia Test series. The umpiring controversy, the players' on-field fighting and sledging, the heat in the Indian team's dressing room and Rohit Sharma's absence from the playing XI in the last match and the record of spectators at the ground. This Test series is now the biggest topic of discussion in world cricket.

India and Australia have ended their first day in the last match of the series, overshadowing all the discussions. On the first day, India continued their failure like in other matches. On the first day, they gave Australia a lead of only 185 runs in the first innings, which I think is a very small target for Australia. India will have to do a good bowling innings to equalize the series and win the last match, but there is no Indian XI to support Bumrah.

Then India will have to take a big lead and set a big target for Australia to win, which is about 350+ runs. India must come out on the second day with the right plan, just like Australia is doing. The Australian bowlers are taking wickets of the Indian batsmen in such a way that it seems like the Australians have memorized the Indians. Kohli seems to have forgotten to get out differently.

Pakistan Vs South Africa

In the next one hour or less, the match between Pakistan and South Africa will start. Pakistan have to win this match at any cost if they want to draw the series, instead of losing it. What do you think which team will win it?

If we analyze the previous game, then I am looking at South Africa as a much stronger team than Pakistan. They also won the previous game. I think at some small moments, the Pakistan team needs to be good and should perform well. If Pakistan gets a good start today, then I am sure they will have some opportunity to win this test match.

South Africa are in top position current score is 293 runs in a loss of three wickets. South Africa outstanding batting after losing first thre wickets. ryan rickelton batting performance is amazing as scored a well deserved one hundred fifty and currently playing at 170 runs very close to his double century. Temba Bavuma Captain of South Africa also playing well scored a well deserved century and playing at 105 runs.The fourth wicket partnership between Temba Bavuma and ryan rickeltonis more then 200 runs Pakistan bowlers failed to break this partnership and South Africa are very close to 300 mark. from Pakistan Khurram Shahzad and Muhammad Abbad picked one, one wickets. Salman Ali agha spinner also picked the wicket of Tristan Stubbs at duck.

South Africa's impressive performance at the start of the second Test will put them in a good position to win. They have managed to score 316 for the loss of just 4 wickets on the first day. Ryan Rickelton is just 24 runs shy of a double century while Temba Bavuma has scored a century. If they get a chance to bat for longer, there is a possibility that this score will go beyond 600. If we take a guess based on the first Test, then South Africa is likely to win. Temba Bavuma's performance for South Africa is quite admirably. He batted responsibly in the first match and has maintained his consistency.

We have seen Pakistan win in all three matches of the ODI series. South African players could not make any advantage in the ODI series. But we will probably see South Africa win in both the Test matches. South Africa won the first match by 2 wickets. The match was quite competitive. However, in the second match, we can see the dominance of South African batsmen.

At the end of the first day, the team lost only 4 wickets and managed to collect 316 runs. Ryan Rickelton and Temba Bavuma scored centuries. Ryan Rickelton's performance surprised everyone. Ryan Rickelton is still unbeaten with 176 runs. It seems that South Africa will collect more than 500 in the first innings.

In the first match, we saw Afghanistan batsmen batting very well. Zimbabwe batsmen also batted very well, as a result, the match was drawn. Since Afghanistan batsmen were in very good form in this series, we expected to see good batting from Afghanistan in the last match of the series. But the team played very badly in the first innings. Afghanistan's top order could not bat well in the second innings either. I think the chances of Afghanistan making a comeback in this match are very low. Zimbabwe is probably going to win the Test series. This will be a big achievement for the Zimbabwe team.

After every success now South Africa is gaining more confident and things are getting impressive for them after having mix first session we see a complete control of game into their hands which allow them to have good end of first days proceedings we have 316 runs in 80 overs Temba Bavuma have good end with century inning and double century partnership with Ryan Rickelton 176 not out they punished inexperienced Pakistani bowlers which were completely clueless in both session of first day play.

But at the end, a big wicket still for them which give them some relief but now most chances we will have problems for Pakistan with Saim Ayub is injured, and their other batsmen have no enough experience of playing in these conditions which will help South Africa for ending this series with the result of 2–0 good start of 2025 for them.

Australia once again on top in final test as they have bowled out India for just 185 runs. Rohit Sharma gave himself rest for final test and I think same should be done for struggling virat kohli who wasn't able to produce good performance so far in this except a century in Perth. If Australian can take lead of 150 or 200 runs in first innings then it will be very difficult for India to make a comeback in this test.
It's always difficult to play test in Australia specially for Asian countries, India has better test record in Australia compared to other Asian countries. India has a chance to draw this series but for that they have to bowl and bat exceptionally well in what's left in this test.

Current test format is helpful for home countries sometime back we have few suggestions, but these were badly rejected but if we have these surely things could be manageable for visiting teams as well because these surely going to give balance to both teams, but mostly countries love take advantage as home team and doing things for their own which are surely creating trouble but we still have good depth in Indian team which is fighting hard in these conditions for long time and now having good results against SENA countries.

At the end of second day play, Zimbabwe in strong position for win of this test match which could be huge success for them with 46 for 3 and trailing by another 40 runs is surely not good end of day for Afghanistan which bowled out on 157 in first inning of this test match while we have good reply from Zimbabwe which ended their first inning on 243 thanks to Sikandar Raza 61, Craig Ervine 75 and Sean Williams 49 while Rashid and Yamin have 4 & 3 wickets into first inning.
As we have start of second inning for Afghanistan, they are losing wickets consistently with still trailing by 40 runs which is creating more pressure on them hopefully tomorrow first session could be interesting as both will try to have control of game.

That's a great opportunity for Zimbabwe to win second test along with the test series after losing both T20 and ODI series. Pitch in first test match was a kind of road where runs were scored by batsmen while bowlers were helpless. Now we have a pitch where bowlers are dominating and nothing much for batsmen to cheer. Afghanistan struggling and they need someone to stay on pitch and score runs. Afghanistan have a chance to win this test only if they are able to give target of over 200 runs.

Afghanistan players are batting very badly in the second test match. The team had to score only 157 runs in the first innings. Zimbabwe has managed to take a decent lead. And in the second innings too we are not seeing a good performance from the Afghanistan players. The Afghanistan team has scored 46 runs and lost 3 wickets. SIkandar Raza and Muzarbani are also able to bowl well in the second innings.

Zimbabwe managed to score 243 runs in the first innings. The team was able to take a lead of 86 runs. And Zimbabwe is still ahead by 40 runs. Looking at the batting of the Afghan players, it does not seem that they will be able to score big in the second innings. Afghanistan will probably lose all the wickets before 200 in the second innings too.

Zimbabwe and Afghanistan have seen similar innings especially with Afghanistan being bowled out for 157 in their first innings while Zimbabwe have fallen by seven wickets for 147 in their first innings so far. That is, Zimbabwe is still trailing by ten runs, so in this innings, Zimbabwe will not be able to take a lead of more runs, so the team that performs well in their second innings will win. Craig Ervine remains unbeaten on 33 and Sean Williams joins him for the wicket so if this experienced pair can give Zimbabwe a lead then perhaps Zimbabwe can take a few runs lead.

The second game of the tour of Zimbabwe and Afghanistan, which was of the second day, in which the Afghanistan batsmen played the second innings and in this innings they could play only 15 overs. In which their batsmen scored 46 runs. And due to his poor performance, he has also lost 3 wickets. If you look at Afghanistan's first innings, in that their batsmen scored 157 runs which was very easy for the Zimbabwean batsmen in which their batsmen scored 243 runs. There is no success from Afghanistan side which would suggest that they will win the second game. In their first match, the game was a draw, due to which their strength cannot be estimated yet.In this game and the next game we will know who is the better team, I think Zimbabwe is better.

Zimbabwe are doing an excellent job in bowling although I am not too much convinced about how they batted in the first innings. In the first innings they all out the Afghanistan team at 157 runs and now in the 2nd Afghanistan innings, the Zimbabwe bowlers have already taken 3 wickets at the score of 46 runs.

Blessing Muzarabani seems the most successful bowler as he took 2 wickets in the first innings and also in the 2nd innings he has taken two important wickets. I am sure when he starts fresh tomorrow morning, he will create more trouble for the Afghanistan batsmen. Also i have high hopes with Newman Nyamhuri and Sikandar Raza to take wickets in this innings too.
