Australia has retained the Ashes after an 82-run victory over England in the third Test at Adelaide Oval, securing an unassailable 3–0 lead in the five-match series.
A stellar first innings set the tone for Australia’s dominance. Alex Carey’s brilliant century anchored the Australian batting lineup, giving them a strong platform and putting England on the back foot. England struggled to match the intensity and were held to a modest total, leaving Australia in control early on.
The second innings saw Travis Head take charge, delivering a commanding performance that set England a challenging target of 435 runs. Despite showing moments of resilience, England could not maintain the required momentum in their chase and were eventually bowled out for 352.
Alex Carey’s consistency and composure across both innings earned him the Player of the Match award, cementing his pivotal role in Australia’s triumph. With this win, Australia not only continues their successful home Ashes campaign but also reinforces their status as a dominant force in world cricket.
