The margin of victory indicates that it was a close game but it wasn't as Australia went after the bonus point and threw away their wickets towards the end. Chris Woakes was the stand out performer with the ball but he received very little support from the other end. Right then , that's all from this match. Do join us on Sunday for the big clash between Australia and India at the MCG. Until then, it's good bye and cheers!!!
