Australia Win Fifth Ashes by Five Wickets, Take Series 4-1
Mitchell Starc took 31 wickets and scored 156 runs to earn Player of the Series as Australia dominated England 4-1 in the Ashes.
- Australia sealed a 4-1 victory by taking the last Test by five wickets at the Sydney Cricket Ground, with final boundaries from Cameron Green and Alex Carey in a tense 160-run chase.
- Mitchell Starc’s form and Travis Head’s runs underpinned Australia’s dominance, with Starc taking 31 wickets and 156 runs while Head scored 629 runs at 62.90.
- Statistically, Starc’s campaign rewrote left-arm bowling benchmarks, surpassing Wasim Akram with his 415th wicket and leveling Rangana Herath at 433, earning the Compton-Miller Medal.
- Ben Stokes played on despite an adductor strain and was unable to bowl, while contested DRS decisions led Brydon Carse to confront officials and Usman Khawaja scored six in his farewell knock.
- Players and staff warned the long five-Test schedule was draining but ultimately fruitful, Josh Tongue emerged as a key figure late despite early omission, and debate over Starc or Travis Head for player-of-the-series persisted.
