Australia clinched a thrilling six-wicket victory in the fifth Test against India at Sydney, securing the series 3-1 and a spot in the World Test Championship final. Scott Boland's superb 6-45 performance played a crucial role, and captain Pat Cummins praised the team's collective effort. The match remained competitive as Australia lost three wickets before lunch, including Steve Smith who fell tantalisingly close to the 10,000-run milestone, just one run short of becoming the fourth Australian to achieve this feat.
