Ind a vs aus a test match: The series of two Test matches has started between India and Australia today, 16 September. Two Test matches will be played between India A and Australia A. The first day of this match is over. Team India took five wickets on the first day under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. But the century of Australia’s batsman Sam Contas brought the team’s score to 337. On the first day of this Test match, 73 overs were put up. This strong score of Australia has put India on the backfoot on the first day.

Australia’s bang start

Australia A won the toss and decided to bat first. When the team’s opener Sam Contas and Campbell Kailaway came to bat, it became very difficult for Team India to take the first wicket. Both Australian players were moving towards a century, when Gurnur Brar dismissed Campbell on a score of 88. At the same time, Sam Constas scored a brilliant century and was out on a score of 109. During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Virat Kohli and Sam Contas’s shoulders collided and the heating moment was seen between the two players.

While the first wicket fell on 198 in Australia, four players were dismissed by reaching 224. After this, Cooper Konoli and Layam Scott handled Australia’s innings. Konoli scored 70 runs in 84 balls. At the end of the first day’s play, Layam Scott is batting for 47 runs and Jose Philip 3 runs.

India’s shame saved from Harsh Dubey

The famous Krishna was also involved in the batting order of the Indian team, but this bowler of India did not get any wicket on the first day. But Harsh Dubey took shame of Team India and took three wickets of Australia. Harsh dismissed Sam Contas as well as captain Nathan McSwini and Kopar Konoli, who was batting better. On the first day, Khalil Ahmed and Gurnur Brar got 1-1 wickets. By the end of the first day’s play, Australia’s score reached 337 runs at the loss of 5 wickets.

Wi vs aus test: After the final, the Australia cricket team will start the next World Test Championship cycle with the series against the West Indies. For this, the team had announced the squad earlier, but now the top order batsman Marnas Labushen has been out of the first Test. Steve Smith is also out after injury in the WTC final. Chief Selector George Bailey has confirmed that Sam Constas and Josh English have been included.

George Bailey told Cricinfo that, “Marnas Labushen could be a key member of the team on the best performance, but according to him Labushen’s performance is not at the level for which he knows and others expect them. Will continue to work on their game, we feel that they need to improve. We understand their ability and hope that he will take it in a positive way.”

Labushen’s performance in the World Test Championship final was not good, he scored 17 in the first innings and 22 runs in the second innings. The last Test century came in 2023 with his bat.

WTC Final 2025: Every cricketer dreams that he can play on Lord’s ground one day and if this opportunity is to play the final of the World Test Championship, then it will be icing on the cake. Losing this opportunity for any Khudi can be heartbreaking. In such a situation, one such name has been left out of Australia’s final playing XI, which had argued with Virat Kohli in the last series played against India in 2024. Not only this, this player caught everyone’s attention by batting brilliantly against a deadly bowler like Jasprit Bumrah. This player is Sam Constas of Australia.

Sam Contas is the same player who appeared on the Melbourne pitch in the Boxing Day Test and got entangled in a sharp debate with a legend like Virat Kohli. After this, in the Sydney Test, he batted against Indian bowlers like Bumrah, famous Krishna and Akashdeep in an aggressive manner. However, in view of Sam Contas’ experience of just two Test matches, the team management has decided to keep him out of the playing XI for the WTC final to be held at Lord’s. In his place, Marnas Labushen has been given the responsibility of opening.

Bolland is out due to Hazlewood’s return

Australia has announced its playing 11 just before the WTC final against South Africa. The opening pair Osman Khwaja and Marnas Labushen will land for Australia, while Cameron Green will be seen batting at number 3, who had to be out of the team for the last 16 months due to a back injury.

Talking about bowling, the biggest change in the team is about Scott Bolland. Bolland, the second most successful bowler with 21 wickets in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, has been dropped from the team as Josh Hazlewood is fully fit and returning to the team. The WTC final against India was not played in 2023 due to injury to Hazelvupad Kalf. Hazelwood has proved not only his fitness but also his form for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2025 with 22 wickets in 12 matches. He himself said that last time he could not play the finals due to injury, but this time he is fully ready and is bowling the best of his career.
