Let us tell you that before the defeat in the final match in the entire World Cup, the Indian team reached the final without losing a single match. Australia won the World Cup title for the sixth time by defeating India by 6 wickets in the World Cup final. For Australia, Tavis Head scored a brilliant century to lead the team to victory. Apart from Head, Labusche also faced the Indian bowlers. Both shared a partnership of 192 runs for the fourth wicket. Travis Head was dismissed for 137 runs while Labuschagne remained unbeaten on 58 runs. From India, Bumrah managed to take 2 wickets and Siraj managed to take one wicket. Earlier, in the final match played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Australia’s bowlers restricted India to just 240 runs on a difficult pitch.
India could score only 240 runs
After being invited to bat first, India got off to a poor start when Mitchell Starc dismissed Shubman Gill (4) early, but from here on out, captain Rohit Sharma (47) in particular batted very positively. The score was getting better in the power-play, but three wickets fell when India scored 82 runs. Iyer (4) could not play a big innings when Rohit came out with his sights set. From here, Virat Kohli (54) and KL Rahul (66) brought the team back on track, but wickets began to fall at regular intervals as soon as Kohli was dismissed. And once Suryakumar fell alone at one end.
Excellent planning and excellent execution by the Australian bowlers was evident from start to finish. And the result was that India managed to score only 240 runs in the quota of 50 overs, losing all the wickets. For Australia, Mitchell Starc took three wickets, Hazlewood and Pat Cummins took two wickets each while Adam Zampa managed to take one wicket.
