In the first match of the Ashes series 2023 in England, the hosts’ team looked to be on course for victory when Australia’s Test maestro Usman Khawaja was dismissed for 65, despite being well prepared in their second innings chase of 281. Australia lost seven wickets for 209 runs. However, captain Pat Cummins’ confidence level is sky-high after winning the World Test Championship Final 2023 crown.
As a result, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon stitched together a partnership for the ages and took Australia to the boundary. Cummins remained unbeaten on 44 off 73 balls, Lyon remained unbeaten on 16 off 28 balls, and the pair added 55 runs off 72 balls for the ninth wicket. Australia won the match by retaining two wickets on the last day.
