The Indian team, despite winning the first Test in Perth, struggled against the Australian pacers in the second match.
To regain a chance at the final, India must produce exceptional performances in upcoming games. Meanwhile, England secured a 2-0 lead over New Zealand, maintaining their fifth position. Stellar performances from Harry Brook, Joe Root, and bowlers Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse have left New Zealand in the sixth spot.
