Mumbai: India won the three-match ODI series against visiting Australia in a thrilling match on Friday. K.L. A 5-wicket victory was achieved with the help of Rahul’s timely play.
Indian captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and elected to bowl, restricting the Aussies to 188 runs in 35.4 overs. Opener Head is out for 5 runs. Mitchell Marsh who fought alone scored 81 runs and got out. Captain Steven Smith departed after scoring 22 runs. Labuschagne scored 15 runs, wicket keeper Josh Inglis scored 26 runs, Green scored 12 runs. The rest of the players did not cross single digits.
Among the Indian bowlers who had a tight bowling attack, Shami and Siraj took 3 wickets each, Ravindra Jadeja took 2 wickets, Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav took one wicket each.
Chasing the target, India lost the wicket of Ishan Kishan who had scored 3 runs before reaching 5 runs. Virat Kohli was dismissed for 4 runs. Shubman Gill contributed 20 runs. Suryakumar Yadav departed for zero. For Kohli and Yadav though, the pacey Starc is deadly. Both were lbw and sent to the pavilion. Captain Hardik Pandya was dismissed after scoring 25 runs.
KL Rahul’s timely play played a big role in the team’s victory. Having lost 4 wickets for 39, when he was in trouble, Rahul played a patient game. He faced the Aussie bowling attack effectively and scored a half-century to ensure victory. Ravindra Jadeja who supported him for the 6th wicket made a significant contribution in the victory. He had a partnership of 108 runs. The team scored 191 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 39.5 overs and won by 5 wickets.
Rahul remained unbeaten on 75 off 91 balls with 7 boundaries and 1 impressive six. Jadeja remained unbeaten on 45 off 69 balls and was part of the victory celebration.
Mitchell Starc took 3 wickets for Aussies. Marcus Stoinis took 2 wickets.

In a gripping clash at Crypto.com Arena on Thursday night, the Los Angeles Lakers put up a valiant fight but couldn’t overcome a shaky performance from Luka Doncic, falling 123-116 to the Golden State Warriors. The defeat tightened the Western Conference playoff race, with the Warriors (45-31) closing the gap on the Lakers (46-30) as the regular season nears its final stretch.
Doncic, the Lakers’ prized acquisition, struggled mightily against Golden State’s suffocating defense. Known for his dazzling offensive wizardry, the Slovenian star managed just 19 points on a dismal 6-of-17 shooting night—his lowest output since February 25. The Warriors’ game plan disrupted his rhythm early, forcing missed shots and turnovers that left the Lakers scrambling to keep pace.
The game started with a whimper for Los Angeles, as a sluggish first quarter dug them into a hole they couldn’t fully escape. Despite flashes of resilience—cutting the deficit to five points in the final minute—the Lakers lacked the sharpness needed to seize control. A chaotic scramble after a Warriors turnover could’ve swung the momentum, but a costly Lakers miscue snuffed out their hopes.
Golden State’s Brandin Podziemski stole the spotlight with a jaw-dropping half-court buzzer-beater to close the second quarter, finishing with 28 points and eight rebounds. Stephen Curry, meanwhile, torched the Lakers for 37 points, passing franchise legend Jerry West on the NBA’s all-time scoring list in the process. “That’s The Logo,” Curry said postgame, nodding to West’s iconic status. “Very special.”
LeBron James (33 points) and Austin Reaves (31 points) kept the Lakers in the fight, their tenacity shining through even as officiating frustrations mounted. The team burned through two successful challenges by the third quarter, leaving them powerless when a late call went against them—a Curry layup upheld despite replay evidence of a kicked ball.
The loss exposed familiar flaws for Los Angeles: sloppy execution, emotional overreactions to missed calls, and an inability to sustain momentum. With only six games left, this matchup offered a sobering preview of a potential first-round playoff clash between these revamped rosters.
For the Lakers, it’s back to the drawing board. Doncic’s off night underscored the team’s reliance on his brilliance—and the steep cost when it falters. As the postseason looms, Los Angeles must find consistency to hold off a surging Golden State squad hungry to climb the standings. Fans are left wondering: can the Lakers harness their fight into a winning formula before it’s too late?
