Delhi: The second day of the ongoing Test match between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground was also full of excitement. On the first day, the Australian bowlers took all the 10 wickets of the Indian team and dismissed them. At the same time, Indian bowlers performed brilliantly and bundled out Australia for 181 runs.
Record of fourth innings in Sydney
The cricket pitch in Sydney is generally favorable for batsmen, because the pitch here remains flat throughout the match. However, an interesting record has been seen in Sydney since 2000. In the 12 matches played here, the team playing the fourth innings has failed 7 times while chasing more than 200 runs. Apart from this, 4 matches have been drawn and 1 match has been won. The Indian team can get hope from this record.

India has 4 wickets
In the second innings of the Indian team, both the openers made a fast start, but Scott Boland changed the course of the match as soon as he arrived. Team India’s score went from 42/1 to 78/4. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant batted aggressively and scored 61 runs in just 33 balls. His innings brought India out of a difficult situation and gave it a lead of 145 runs. If the Indian batsmen score more than 70 runs on the third day, then Team India’s grip on the match can become stronger and the Indian team can also be successful in scoring more than 200 runs.
