India vs Australia: Australia win Perth Test by 146 runs, level series 1-1

Updated On Dec 18, 2018 01:06 pm IST

India crumbled in the face of Australia's remarkable metamorphosis and crashed to a 146-run defeat in the second Test here Tuesday, surrendering a rare hard-earned ascendancy in a series Down Under. The hosts levelled the four-match series 1-1 after India were bowled out for 140 runs in 56 overs in their second innings on the fifth and final day. Starting from overnight 112 for five, India lost their last five wickets for 28 runs and it was all over within 65 minutes of play. This was Australia's first Test win since the ball-tampering scandal broke out in South Africa earlier this year.
