The Thunder were in complete control of this match from the very start. However, James Faulkner's brutal late innings surge had Thunder fans on the edge of their seats, but his dismissal in the last over sealed the fate of the Hurricanes as the Thunder hold on by 5 runs.​

The New Years Eve game belongs to the Strikers! Set up my Alex Carey's brutal 86, followed up by a wizard like spell by Rashid Khan, the Thunder never really found themselves in this game, despite a fantastic knock from Jos Buttler.​

Bragging rights for the Stars! Another Stoinis led win for the Stars. 61 with the bat, and 3 wickets with the ball, the Hulk is certainly making his mark on this Big Bash. For the Renegades that now leaves them 0-4, with their season practically already over.​

Batting first: India

India and Australia would both announce changes to their side at the toss. Virat Kohli would confirm the speculation that India would play with 2 spinners, with Kuldeep Yadav being selected in place of Ishant Sharma. For Australia it was Michael Neser who would return to the side, with Victorian Scott Boland was dropped after a poor showing on his home deck in Melbourne.


Virat Kohli would win the toss, and for the first time this series, India would bat first.

Rishabh Pant shows his brilliance again! India's new generational young talent has scored his 2nd test century, and has now checked off centuries in England and Australia at just 21 years of age!

Australia fought hard, with Cummins leading the way. However the test looks to be heading only one way, rain is imminent within the next few hours, and rain forecasted all day tomorrow, it looks unlikely of play on day 5. Australia's unlikely attempt to chase this may never have the chance to get going.

It's a tame way to end a fantastic series. A history making series! India become the first Asian side to win a test series in Australia and haven't they earnt every bit of it! Kohli and his man gone to heights no Asian side before him has. A bitter bitter pill to swallow for Justin Langer and Cameron White.
