What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Australia will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Australia proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
