India Stun Australia with Dominant 295-run Win in Perth

Perth, Australia - India have taken a significant step towards making it to the final of the ICC World Test Championship for the third consecutive time after securing a resounding 295-run win against Australia in the first test of their five-match series Down Under.

The convincing victory has propelled India atop the 2023-25 WTC points tally, further strengthening their bid to claim their second Cricket World Cup title. This comes just weeks after India secured a humiliating 3-0 drubbing at home against New Zealand, which had lifted the team's spirits and set them up for this Test.

The Australian side, meanwhile, has suffered a setback, slipping to the number two spot in the nine-team standings. However, with three other teams still in contention for a place in the summit clash, Australia will remain in the hunt for their third Cricket World Cup title.

India's win marks an impressive turnaround after they began their Tour of New Zealand on a losing note. The team has now restored its confidence and will aim to continue their momentum against a struggling Australian side that is struggling to regain its form.
