India vs Australia Final Attendance 92,453 Ahmedabad 2023 Cricket World Cup November 19 Narendra Modi Stadium Motera
Australia lifted their sixth Cricket World Cup title in front of a stunned 92,453 strong crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad as they beat hosts and favourites India. Opener Travis Head was again instrumental in their victory, just as he had been in the semifinal against South Africa in Kolkata. Head took the all-important catch of Rohit Sharma when the latter was batting well, and backed it up with a fluent century as Australia won by six wickets.
After being put into bat by Australian skipper Pat Cummins, India raced to 81 in the first powerplay, but Rohit’s dismissal to a fantastic running catch by Head proved pivotal. The hosts then lost Shreyas Iyer in the very next over and both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul were forced to slow down and consolidate.
Australia however continued to take wickets at intervals and India could only manage 240 in their allotted 50 overs- comfortably around 30-40 runs lesser than par. Continue reading “India vs Australia Final Attendance 92,453 Ahmedabad 2023 Cricket World Cup November 19 Narendra Modi Stadium Motera”

Perhaps wary of their own tendency to “choke” while chasing, Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma opted to bat first after winning the toss. It however backfired spectacularly as Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood reduced them to 24/4 under cloudy conditions.
Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller put South Africa on the path of recovery but just as Klaasen was threatening to open up, Cummins introduced the part-time spin of Head, and he accounted for Klaasen and all-rounder Marco Jansen in successive balls to peg the Proteas back again.
