Sydney. Cricket Australia (CA) has congratulated the Australian men’s team for winning the ICC World Test Championship final by defeating India by 209 runs at The Oval. India was given a big target of 444 runs, but the entire Indian team was reduced to 234 runs only.
Travis Head’s 163 in the first innings and a 285-run partnership with Steve Smith earned him the Player of the Match award.
Australia had qualified for the final at the top of the World Test Championship standings, winning 11 of their 19 Test matches over the previous two years.
The Test world champion is now turning his attention to The Ashes which begins on Friday. The first Test is at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley said: “Congratulations to the men’s Test team, coaches and support staff on the amazing achievement of winning Australia’s first ICC World Test Championship final. This result is a testament to incredible talent, preparation, dedication and hard work.
The engagement across our digital channels again shows the enduring passion for Test cricket. I would also like to wish our men’s and women’s teams all the best for the Ashes series.
