It was a tear-filled evening for Indian team and its fans as the Men in Blue were completely outplayed by Australia in the ICC World Cup 2023 final. The match was played in Ahmedabad on November 19 and saw the Pat Cummins-led side lifting the World Cup trophy for the sixth time.
India was asked to bat first by Australia and could only make 240 runs with KL Rahul (66) and Virat Kohli (54) being the top scorers. Mitchell Starc took three wickets, while Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood took 2 each.
In response, Travis Head (137) and Marnus Labuschagne (58*) added 192 runs for the 4th wicket to take Australia to the win. India had done well earlier, by reducing the opponents to 47/3, but Head and Marnus proved to be hard to dislodge and Australia won by 6 wickets.
